Job Description

Orenda is on a mission to make the grid more efficient with renewable energy projects and proprietary asset management technology.

Key Responsibilities

The Senior Energy Market Research Analyst is the engine of Orenda's market opportunity pipeline. You will research energy markets for new investment opportunities, monitor the markets on our watch list as they evolve, and build the foundation for every new investment strategy Orenda develops by delivering analysis that meets our investment standards.
This role exists because picking the right market is the most important decision in the development of a new investment strategy. Your work directly shapes which markets become the next new markets Orenda will enter in 2026 and beyond. You will report and partner closely with the CSO.
This role is ideal for: a curious, technically deep market researcher who wants to own a function end to end and influence where a fast moving energy company places its bets next.
Research new energy markets to investigate potential new investment opportunities.
Maintain the opportunity database so the Strategy team has a single and up-to-date source of truth for every market scanned, monitored, or archived.
Monitor and forecast how market fundamentals will evolve, identify the drivers (policy, price, technology), and define the triggers that would confirm or invalidate each forecast.
Deliver Feasibility Reviews against the company’s investment standards.
Build and improve the processes that power this role: systematic investigation, forecasting, and Feasibility Reviews.

Requirements

3+ years of experience in market research, strategy, investment analysis, or a directly related discipline within the energy sector
Bachelor's degree in a quantitative or analytical field (engineering, math, physics, data science, or equivalent), or equivalent professional experience
Proficiency in at least one analytical environment (Python, R, or Matlab) for data manipulation and statistical analysis
Working knowledge of forecasting methods such as time series analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, scenario analysis, or sensitivity testing
Strong written communication, with the ability to turn unstructured research into structured documents decision makers can act on
Ability to operate in a fast moving environment with minimal supervision, balancing multiple workstreams against firm deadlines
Advanced degree in engineering, economics, public policy, or a related quantitative field
Demonstrated track record of producing analysis that informed an investment, strategic, or policy decision
Prior experience scouting or evaluating opportunities in distributed energy resources, energy storage, or EV charging
Experience building or owning research processes and databases from scratch
