🏢 About node energy

node energy is a purpose-driven company focused on optimizing energy systems for real estate to significantly cut CO2 emissions and costs. Their software solution opti.node is at the forefront of integrating renewable energy assets like wind and solar into property portfolios, offering a unique blend of tech innovation and environmental impact.

About This Role

As a Business Analyst, you will bridge the gap between energy market expertise and software product development.

Your work directly shapes a tool that helps property owners reduce their carbon footprint.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve a morning stand-up with the product team, followed by analyzing customer feedback to define a new feature for opti.node. You could then draft a specification document, collaborate with developers on feasibility, and later present a business case to stakeholders. Afternoon might be spent researching regulatory updates or testing a new BI report in Power BI.
