What specific ETRM systems does Clearway Energy Group use, and is prior experience mandatory for the Senior Business Reporting Analyst role?
While the job description specifically mentions Clearway's Energy Trading and Risk Management (ETRM) system as a primary source, prior experience with a specific ETRM is not always mandatory if candidates possess strong risk reporting experience derived from similar energy trading risk management systems. The ideal candidate will have 2-4 years of middle office operational experience with credit and/or market risk knowledge in an energy trading or commodity environment, with a strong ability to learn and adapt to new systems like Clearway's ETRM.
Can you elaborate on the 'hybrid role' aspect for the Senior Business Reporting Analyst position in Scottsdale, AZ?
