๐ข About EnergyHub
EnergyHub is a mission-driven company at the forefront of the clean energy transition, enabling utilities to manage distributed energy resources (DERs) like smart thermostats, EV chargers, and solar storage. Working here means contributing to a sustainable future while being part of a remote-first team that values innovation and collaboration.
About This Role
As a Pricing & Deal Strategy Analyst, you'll be the financial backbone of complex utility contracts, building models that evaluate pricing for new products and multi-year deals. Your analyses directly influence strategic decisions, ensuring profitable growth while supporting EnergyHub's mission to decarbonize the grid.
๐ก A Day in the Life
You'll start your day by reviewing incoming deal requests from the sales team, then dive into Excel to build scenario models for a new utility contract. Midday, you might pull SQL queries to analyze past contract performance, and end the day collaborating with product and finance teams to refine pricing strategies for upcoming product bundles.
