About The Position

ENGIE Energy Marketing North America (EEMNA) is ENGIE’s energy management and trading platform in North America, where you will contribute to managing and optimizing gas, power, and renewable energy portfolios. You will work in an environment that operates across physical and financial markets, helping provide market access, structuring solutions, and risk management services while supporting the commercialization of renewable energy assets. In this role, you will support the Digital, Data and Transformation function in accelerating business process transformation across the organization. Reporting to the Head of Digital, Data and Transformation, you will collaborate closely with business stakeholders, Product Owners, IT teams, and the Business Transformation Committee to identify, prioritize, redesign, and embed improved ways of working.

Your work will center on simplifying processes, clarifying ownership, strengthening controls, reducing manual effort, and ensuring that new ways of working are successfully adopted and sustained.
