Whether you're in our office spaces, on site, or working remotely, we promote an environment that supports collaboration, connection, and comfort. No matter where you are, our priority is to make sure you feel safe, valued, and celebrated.

We’re a disability confident employer and we’ll do all we can to help with your application. Please let us know if you need to request reasonable adjustments.

We take pride in fostering a dynamic and inclusive environment, where the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our employees drive fresh thinking and innovation. We understand that success means different things to different people. We believe there are multiple definitions of what it means to succeed. That’s why we support you to pursue a career that’s unique to you. Because success is personal.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll create the daily trading strategies for our portfolio of batteries, provide supply margin and price forecasts to our traders, and work alongside the trading team to identify areas where commercial performance can be improved.

You will deliver the daily forward curves, model curve power prices and margins, and identify and communicate market risks and opportunities. You will also have opportunities to propose and deliver change, to further enhance the service we provide whether that’s through the development of our price models and optimisation tools, or by improving how we measure and report performance.

As a Senior Analyst, you will become involved in or lead n projects that will require collaboration with other Wholesale Market Service teams, Sales & Marketing and Generation.
