About The Role

Ready to shape the analysis and insight that helps maximise the value of flexible energy assets? Do you enjoy turning complex market data into practical decisions that influence commercial performance? At EDF, Success is Personal, and this is your opportunity to make a real impact while developing your expertise in a fast-moving energy market.

The Opportunity

As a Senior Market Analyst, you’ll be pivotal in our operational mission of the battery-optimisation of our battery fleet.

• Good understanding of power markets and the commercial drivers of flexible asset performance

Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to turn complex data into practical insight and recommendations

Confidence communicating technical analysis clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders

A continuous improvement mindset with an interest in improving and automating tools, processes and ways of working

Strong collaboration skills and the ability to work effectively across trading, optimisation, technology and operational teams

What You’ll Be Doing

• Maintaining and enhancing models, optimisation logic and analytical tools that support the trading and optimisation of flexible assets
• Developing analysis and decision-support tools that enable informed optimisation and trading decisions
