About The Position
The Senior Energy Market Research Analyst is the engine of Orenda's market opportunity pipeline. You will research energy markets for new investment opportunities, monitor the markets on our watch list as they evolve, and build the foundation for every new investment strategy Orenda develops by delivering analysis that meets our investment standards. This role exists because picking the right market is the most important decision in the development of a new investment strategy. Your work directly shapes which markets become the next new markets Orenda will enter in 2026 and beyond. You will report and partner closely with the CSO. This role is ideal for a curious, technically deep market researcher who wants to own a function end to end and influence where a fast moving energy company places its bets next.
