- Create dashboards and reports that provide internal stakeholders with clear visibility into market conditions, portfolio performance, and key commercial risk indicators.
- Support trading and asset-management decisions through quantitative analysis, scenario evaluation, and market intelligence.
- Assist with settlement validation, collateral awareness, and post-trade or post-dispatch performance analysis.
- Support onboarding of new assets, markets, and data sources by helping establish reporting structures, commercial views, and monitoring frameworks.
- Monitor evolving ISO/RTO market rules, regulatory developments, and emerging market opportunities affecting BESS, solar, and related commercial strategies.
- Work closely with Asset Management, trading, operations, finance, and third-party counterparties to ensure analytical work supports practical commercial execution.
