Senior Analyst, Energy Strategy & Scenario Planning

natgridProd • Waltham, MA

2d • $114,000 - $143,000

About The Position

We are hiring a Senior Analyst, Energy Strategy & Scenario Planning to provide analytical, process, and decision-making support to the Director of Gas Scenario Planning. This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role for someone who finds genuine satisfaction in complex, evolving problems and is energized by purpose. You'll contribute to and help drive the analytical and strategic workstreams that shape National Grid's long-term gas planning in New York and Massachusetts. The work sits at the center of one of the most consequential challenges in U.S. energy: balancing decarbonization ambition with gas system reliability and customer affordability. You'll engage regularly with senior stakeholders and external partners, and your work will directly inform major regulatory filings and infrastructure decisions across two states.

Requirements

• Minimum 3 years of experience in an analytically rigorous environment—consulting, regulatory affairs, energy, engineering, infrastructure, or an adjacent field. We value depth of thinking and strategic capability over a specific background or credential.
• Working proficiency in scenario modeling, benefit-cost analysis, and strategic planning, with the ability and appetite to grow toward advanced expertise.
• Experience with regulatory filings and stakeholder engagement in NY or MA preferred.
• Project management experience coordinating multiple stakeholders in a rapidly changing environment—supporting scoping, tracking accountability, and helping deliver polished products through complex review and stakeholder processes. This is not IT or software project management.
• Excellent written and verbal communication abilities, including the ability to structure persuasive analytical documents and prepare clear materials for executive audiences.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and Teams, and comfort with project-management and collaboration tools (e.g., SmartSheet).

Nice To Haves

• Genuine engagement with the complexity of the energy transition—specifically, the pragmatic challenge of balancing decarbonization goals with gas system reliability and customer affordability.

Responsibilities

• Support the end-to-end gas scenario planning process, helping coordinate across demand forecasting, capacity need identification, and optioneering of supply, infrastructure, and demand-side solutions.
• Build and maintain analytical models to evaluate long-term gas capacity needs and solution portfolios, including benefit-cost analysis and risk assessments.
• Track implementation of solution portfolios and conduct contingency analysis to adapt to changing conditions.
• Produce executive- and stakeholder-ready materials: Build presentations, briefing documents, and recurring reports—such as the EMT/FAWG Annual Report, the LTP Annual Update, and Steering Committee decks—that translate complex analysis into clear narratives for senior leadership, regulators, and external partners.
• Gather, synthesize, and quality-check data: Pull and reconcile inputs from regulatory filings, internal subject-matter experts, and external sources, and coordinate SME contributions into cohesive, accurate deliverables.
• Help define and track KPIs and risk indicators, producing dashboards and insights for senior leadership.
• Support project governance for major analytical workstreams: help structure the work plan, track milestones and accountability, maintain review cadences, prepare materials for executive and regulatory stakeholders, and help maintain forward momentum across complex, multi-month projects.
• Support the Director's coordination with external advisors and consultants: help review and integrate work products and support quality control to ensure external partners (such as Guidehouse or Concentric) produce analysis that is analytically sound and fit for regulatory purpose.
• Contribute to regulatory filings, including the NY Gas Long-Term Plan and MA Climate Compliance Plan, and support testimony and stakeholder engagement.
• Support continuous improvement, challenging internal assumptions and refining processes to improve outcomes.
• Iterate and adapt: Embrace the reality that solutions often require multiple rounds of refinement, and be comfortable going back to the drawing board when needed.
• Create buy-in: Help galvanize team members and stakeholders, even when projects are assigned from above or lack immediate excitement.

Benefits

• This position has a career path which provides for advancement opportunities within and across bands as you develop and evolve in the position; gaining experience, expertise and acquiring and applying technical skills.
