Pricing and Structuring Analyst-Power   New York Metro area firm is expanding its valuation and structuring function. This is an excellent opportunity for a quantitatively oriented energy analyst to move to a front-mid office role.

The client is well-financed and growing, so one can focus on the job and not worry about employer stability.

First, the job requires experience with structuring and valuation of complex physical and derivative transactions. While the quality of experience is important, at least two years of experience is expected.

Second, the main task is to identify and monetize imbedded optionality and be able to model this optionality.  So the analyst must demonstrate that he/she can model the optionality with Excel and VBA.  Those analysts with only modest technical skills are unlikely to be seriously considered.

Additionally, experience with ISO operations and physical power movement would be well-received.

Familiarity with ETRM systems and porfolio/book reporting is also desirable.

Education: BS or MS degree in finance, economics, engineering, mathematics or related field, MBA or Masters preferred. Certification as a FRM, CFA or PRM would be a plus.
