Chief Analyst, USA

About the role

You will be the public face of Modo Energy's US market intelligence. You'll turn our data into the analysis the industry reads, quotes, and books onto stages. Think of the role the way Zillow thinks of its Chief Economist: a technically credible voice, backed by a research platform, who becomes the reference point for an entire market.

You'll join our marketing team in New York and report to our Director of Marketing. You'll work hand-in-glove with our Americas research analysts through a formal dotted line into the research team, and with our in-house media and design teams. This is a build role. You'll start as the voice and grow the US market intelligence function as it scales.

What you'll own

• The narrative. Publish weekly analysis on US battery storage and power markets across the major ISOs/RTOs. Own a flagship newsletter on the Modo platform. Set the agenda, don't follow it.
• The stage. Represent Modo at 12+ industry events in year one: RE+, ACP conferences, ISO market summits and stakeholder forums, customer workshops. Deliver talks people remember.
• The screen. Front our US video, podcast, and webinar output alongside our in-house production team. Become the person journalists call for a storage quote.
• The pipeline. Join strategic customer conversations as the credibility in the room. Your content should generate demand we can measure.
• The team. Work daily with our Americas research analysts (dotted line into the research team) to ground every piece in Modo data. Your job is to make Modo's US research famous, not just yourself.

You'll know it's working when:

• Conference organizers invite you before we pitch them.
• Journalists cite your analysis as the industry benchmark.
• Customers tell our sales team they found us through your work.
• The best analysts in the US market want to work with you.

What we're looking for

• 5–8 years working in or on US power markets, with real depth in battery storage
• Fluency in at least two ISO/RTO markets, including market design, ancillary services, and revenue dynamics
• A public track record. Include links to talks you've given and analysis you've published. Applications without links won't progress
• Proven ability to turn complex data into narrative that non-experts repeat
• A polished, confident communicator on stage, on camera, and on the page
• Based in (or relocating to) New York

Nice to have

• An existing industry following (LinkedIn, newsletter, podcast)
• Broadcast, podcast, or on-camera experience
• Python or SQL literacy: enough to work credibly alongside our analysts
• Experience at a market research house, IPP, optimizer, developer, or trading desk

What Modo gives you

We give you the data platform the industry already trusts, a distribution engine with an established audience, an in-house video and design team behind every piece you publish, analysts to pressure-test every number, and equity in a category-defining company. You bring the voice. We bring the machine.

Pay & benefits

• Base salary range: $200,000–$250,000 per year, depending on experience. The salary range listed reflects industry benchmarks for this role. Modo Energy's policy is to pay top of personal market - if you're exceptional, we'll make it work.
• Equity for every employee
• 25 days annual leave, medical, dental and vision coverage, and 401(k) with optional employer matching
