We are looking for a Data Analyst to lead on investigations evaluating our performance and determining the best trading strategies across a wide range of market opportunities.
What you will do:
- Perform regular analysis on internal and external data sets, e.g. understanding customer charging behaviour, and exploring bidding strategies in Flexibility markets
- Use data analysis, modelling, and first‑hand research to help inform product and trading strategy and deliver key business insights
- Build and develop simulation models to inform key optimisation challenges and lead deep investigations
- Use Python to conduct rapid analysis, build dashboards and automate data retrieval
- Use SQL and DBT to build data transformation pipelines, including creating intermediary tables available for deeper analysis
- Incorporate technical and commercial objectives and constraints into investigations
- Translate complex problems and solutions into results that can be understood by a broad stakeholder group across the business
What you will need:
- A quantitative degree and 5+ years’ experience in a relevant field
- Experience within energy markets is a must
- Commercially aware, with an understanding of how to represent uncertainty in findings when informing business decisions
- Skilled in Python and SQL; experience with DBT is a bonus
- An ability to respond to complicated and poorly defined briefs from stakeholders, e.g. conducting preliminary investigations to scope out the appropriate strategy
- A strong eye for data visualisation and ability to communicate findings at various levels of detail to different stakeholders
- An agile mindset, understanding when a fast and simple approach is best versus a deep and thorough investigation
- Entrepreneurial mindset with a clear bias for informed action and a talent for solving problems independently
- An ability to relate to individuals and engage with other team members
- Excellent communication and documentation skills
- An interest in sustainability, green energy and Net Zero power systems
