• Ability to quickly master industry fundamental concepts including energy commodity markets, portfolio valuation, and system dynamics
• Should be self-driven and able to work in (and lead) team sizes ranging from individual contribution to several members.

Nice To Haves

• Master’s or PhD in a quantitative field
• Energy industry experience
• Prior experience in an operations research role
• In‑depth experience in one or more programming languages (e.g., Python, C/C++, MATLAB)
• Strong Power BI skills, including data modeling, DAX, and development of executive‑level dashboards and reporting

• Background in applied system dynamics theory
• Experience performing advanced quantitative analysis and developing and/or validating risk models to support senior managers in executing quantitative strategies

• Proven ability to collaborate effectively with cross‑functional teams
• Experience working with business stakeholders to define analytical, reporting, or data quality requirements
• Strong communication skills to clearly convey insights, requirements, and recommendations to diverse technical and non‑technical audiences

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain quantitative data quality analytics and metrics.
• Design and implement statistical analyses, data profiling techniques, and quantitative models to measure data quality, identify data anomalies, and quantify business, operational, and regulatory impacts, rather than valuation, pricing, or risk models.
• Design and deliver Power BI dashboards and reporting solutions focused on data quality.
• Build and maintain leadership‑ready Power BI dashboards that provide transparent visibility into data quality health, issue trends, prioritization, and remediation progress, rather than proof‑of‑concept modeling systems or general BI platforms.
• Partner with business units to define and operationalize data quality rules.
• Define data quality rules, thresholds, and acceptance criteria and translate business requirements into measurable, enforceable data quality logic, replacing expansion of simulation model usage and feedback collection.
• Conduct advanced analysis and problem solving to identify and resolve data quality issues.
• Diagnose root causes of data quality issues, validate fixes, and ensure sustainable data quality resolution, instead of focusing on model risk or simulation performance.
• Translate data quality insights into clear, actionable communication.
• Communicate data quality risks, issues, and requirements to technical and non‑technical audiences through visualizations, summaries, and presentations, rather than translating quantitative concepts into system architecture alone.
• Collaborate across cross‑functional data governance and IT teams.
• Partner with IT, analytics teams, and data governance stakeholders to ensure aligned execution, scalable solutions, and continuous improvement of data quality processes and reporting, rather than expanding use of valuation models.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship focused on data quality analytics.
• Mentor analysts on Power BI best practices, Python analytics, and data quality measurement standards, extending beyond general quantitative or modeling mentorship.
