Job Description
Power Market Modeling Lead - US Energy Market Advisory About Baringa:
We set out to build the world's most trusted consulting firm - creating lasting impact for clients and pioneering a positive, people-first way of working. We work with everyone from FTSE 100 names to bright new start-ups, in every sector.
You'll find us collaborating shoulder-to-shoulder with our clients, from the big picture right down to the detail: helping them define their strategy, deliver complex change, spot the right commercial opportunities, manage risk, or bring their purpose and sustainability goals to life. Our clients love how we get to know what makes their organizations tick - slotting seamlessly into their teams and being proudly geeky about solving their challenges.
As a Certified B Corporation®, we've proven that we've built social and environmental good into every bit of what we do.
We have hubs in Europe, the US, Asia and Australia, and we work all around the world - from a wind farm in Wyoming to a boardroom in Berlin. Find us wherever there's a challenge to be tackled and an impact to be made.
Our Energy & Resource practice is looking for a Power Market Modeler to join the team.
In this role, you will be based out of our New York City office, working at the forefront of the energy transition alongside market specialists with deep industry knowledge where you will be able to deploy and then broaden your skill set and sector expertise.
Our power market advisory team gives our clients an unparalleled combination of energy market expertise and commercial insight. We are proud to work with the foremost policymakers, regulators, investors, developers, lenders, and energy companies operating globally across the energy supply chain. Led by a Senior Management Team respected as Thought Leaders within the industry, we help our clients shape, define and implement change in energy markets.
One of our key propositions is our industry leading power market outlooks, which provide detailed projections on the evolution of electricity markets across the USA and Canada. We update these twice a year and use them to advise clients in M&A, financing, valuation, and strategy work. We are looking for a Product Owner to own the delivery, evolution, and insights surrounding these outlooks.
What you will be doing
- You will be part of the leadership team based in NYC and have responsibility for overseeing our power market outlooks and associated team of market modelers, economists, and energy experts.
- Your focus will be on delivering our updates twice a year - establishing a vision for each update, putting in place a detailed plan and coordinating with team members on their respective delivery roles across modeling, development, and research tasks.
- You will be expected to deliver market insights on hot topics in energy markets and plan the development of new tools and solutions that we can take to clients to further enhance our advisory proposition.
- You will support our business development process through contributing to proposals, pitches, and marketing efforts throughout the year - working alongside dedicated sales colleagues and other senior staff.

- Strong working interest in one of the following: power market dynamics, energy policy and regulation, investment economics, resource planning
- Project management experience, preferably from a consulting or advisory environment where projects are managed to important deadlines for external stakeholders
