Anza RE, LLC

13d

About The Position

Anza's Market Insights is a quarterly publication covering U.S. solar PV and BESS markets for developers, IPPs, and other energy stakeholders. Each edition covers trade and policy developments, supplier landscape shifts, pricing trends, and technology advancements to inform clients' procurement strategies and investment decisions. We are seeking a Principal Policy & Trade Analyst to lead Market Insights and Anza's broader market intelligence strategy. This is not a desk-only research role. We need someone active in the renewable energy industry, attending conferences, tracking trade and policy developments, engaging clients, and translating what you learn into intelligence that helps our clients make better decisions. You will own Market Insights end-to-end: setting content strategy based on market demand, leading quarterly production, owning the policy and trade analysis, and representing Anza externally. You will work with Solar and BESS SMEs who provide deep technical content while you set the strategic direction. This role reports into Advisory Services leadership and is key to scaling Market Insights into a broader market intelligence capability.
