Evaluate market dynamics to guide decisions around site selection and counterparty targeting for new infrastructure deployment or acquisitions.

Re-engage existing customers and partners to optimize or revise legacy commercial arrangements.
Maintain deep familiarity with market drivers and regulatory signals impacting energy trading and infrastructure valuation.
Support M&A and greenfield development by contributing to financial assumptions, commercial diligence, and valuation modeling of revenue streams.

Qualifications

5+ years of commercial experience in U.S. competitive power markets, preferably active in structured deals or utility-scale renewables.
