  • Support annual strategic planning processes, including development of strategic priorities, key initiatives, and monitoring metrics.
  • Drive cross-functional strategic projects that address important business questions. This includes coordinating across teams, tracking progress, and resolving issues.
  • Structure ambiguous problems into clear workstreams, identify key drivers, and synthesize findings into practical recommendations.
  • Develop presentations, memos, and executive-ready materials that clearly communicate insights, tradeoffs, and recommendations to senior leadership.
  • Contribute to a high-performing team culture through strong ownership, sound judgment, and effective collaboration.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in business, accounting, economics, engineering, or a related field.
  • 3+ years of experience in the electricity sector or digital infrastructure.

  • Demonstrated analytical skills, including financial modeling, Excel, and data visualization.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, including the ability to break down complex and ambiguous issues into structured analyses and recommendations.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to distill complex ideas and present to executive-level audiences.
