About us
Grid Status is revolutionizing the energy industry with a modern and open data analytics platform. Our mission is to provide accessible, actionable energy data to accelerate the energy transition.
In just two years, we've grown from zero to over 20,000 monthly active users across all facets of the energy sector. Our data has been featured in reporting and analysis by The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and the Federal Reserve. Thousands of users rely on our products monthly, including renewable developers, asset operators, utilities, energy traders, and innovative startups.
What we're looking for
We're seeking an Energy Market Analyst focused on ERCOT to join our growing team. In this role, you'll be at the forefront of following the wholesale power markets, identifying areas and topics for content focus, and leveraging your experience to drive product development and help customers use Grid Status more effectively. You'll work closely with leadership to iterate and execute on these topics. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in ERCOT, an analytical mindset, and strong writing chops.
Whether you've got scars from fights over ancillary service duration requirements, a perfect mental model of eastern Houston's industrial transmission patchwork, or strong opinions on just how real any recent load forecast could possibly be, we want to hear from you.
Location: Fully remote or hybrid in Washington D.C., or Chicago
Responsibilities
Track long-term power market development and daily outcomes
Regularly pressure test Grid Status products as a power user
Suggest new products and provide feedback based on time in the industry
Develop explainers, longform deep dives, quick hits, and other written content on the power markets
Engage with customers through regular analyst calls
Write blog posts for Grid Status Exports, taking an idea from initial conception to near-final edits
Collaborate with the team to understand the drivers of specific market events
Help customers understand power market dynamics and point them to the right data or analysis
Serve as a product expert, evangelizing Grid Status solutions for data, analysis, and visualization needs across the energy industry
Requirements
4-8 years of experience in wholesale power markets; trading, origination, development, and consulting are just some of the possible backgrounds
Proven track record of delivering written materials with a high level of clarity
Demonstrated ability to learn new markets and products
Excellent presentation and written communication skills, with the ability to manage complex projects independently
Willingness to ask questions and engage in discussion - power markets are complex, and this role will involve in-person explication of market events
Basic knowledge of python or SQL for data analysis is preferred, but a willingness to learn is also fine
(If hybrid) Ideally, meet once a week in person
Not sure if you meet all of the qualifications? We value eagerness to learn and grow more than having checked every box.

Competitive salary with equity
Health insurance with 100% premium covered
401(k) plan with employer match

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for Grid Status. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
