- Configure and maintain approved price curves in ZEMA and Allegro, lead UAT and production deployment.
- Monitor daily curve production across all curves; investigate and resolve data feed failures, quality alerts, and other flags within EOD SLAs; maintain and test fallback procedures.
- Execute the firm’s daily validation and monthly independent price verification (IPV) process; compare curve outputs to independent market sources; prepare and distribute IPV reports; escalate material exceptions.
- Conduct or coordinate independent validation of all current and materially modified price curve models; issue structured validation reports; track findings to remediation; manage the periodic revalidation schedule.

- Maintain the model risk and governance framework for price curves in alignment with Model Risk Policy and applicable regulatory guidance; support audits and regulatory examinations.

Education & Experience

- 5–7+ years in risk management, market data, model validation, or quantitative risk in a commodity trading or energy environment.
- Hands‑on experience building or validating forward price curves, including proxy/spread‑to‑benchmark methodologies with regression‑based parameter calibration.
- Direct experience with ZEMA and/or Allegro in a production environment strongly preferred.
- Familiarity with model‑risk frameworks and organized commodity markets (AESO, IESO, CAISO, MISO, ERCOT, PJM, Henry Hub, environmental) preferred.

Technical Skills

- Apply risk‑management systems and analytical tools (ETRM, Excel, Python, R) to build, validate, and maintain pricing models and data workflows.

Nodal) to support curve production and validation processes.
- Automate repetitive data processes and controls using scripting, identifying opportunities to streamline manual workflows.
- Develop, validate, and maintain pricing methodologies, including proxy/spread‑to‑benchmark and regression‑based approaches, across liquid and illiquid markets.
- Demonstrate working knowledge of power market data, forward price curves, and valuation models in regional markets (e.g., WECC, AESO, PJM).
- Leverage AI and emerging analytical tools (Copilot, LLMs, machine‑learning libraries) to enhance data quality checks, anomaly detection, and reporting efficiency.
