Energy Market Data & Settlements Analyst

Arenko is on a mission to power a zero-carbon grid. Since 2015 we've been building the software that makes the clean energy transition actually work, and we're scaling fast in one of the most consequential industries of our lifetime. We're fast-paced, inclusive, and built by self-motivated problem solvers who'd rather fix something hard than hand it off. Everyone here takes a collaborative approach to growing the business and each other. If you want to see your work matter, this is a good place to land.

As the world shifts to a high-renewables, low-carbon energy system, the grid needs a new kind of intelligence, one that can balance supply and demand in real time and unlock the full value of clean energy assets. That's where we come in. Arenko is the software partner for large, complex clean energy portfolios. Our platform, Nimbus, enables operators of batteries, renewables, and multi-technology portfolios to manage and optimise their assets across some of the world's most sophisticated electricity markets. Today we control over 1.2 GW of BESS and renewable capacity for leading asset owners, independent power producers, and integrated utilities worldwide and the pipeline is growing quickly. Energy storage is fundamental to the energy transition, and delivering it responsibly is non-negotiable for us.

We're looking for a proactive Settlements & Market Data Analyst who's equal parts finance brain and data detective, someone who doesn't just reconcile numbers, but wants to understand why the numbers are what they are. You’ll own the day to day settlement activities for balancing services, trading markets, and ancillary services across Arenko's Route to Market service. That means running invoicing, imbalance allocation, and meter data integrity so our customers get paid the right amount at the right time. It also means picking up the phone to NESO, Elexon, EPEX, and other external counterparties to chase down the truth when data doesn't line up. If you enjoy a good puzzle and the detective work that comes with it, this seat will keep you busy.

Settlements are only half the job. The other half is using what you learn from the data to make the whole system better. You'll look for patterns in settlement flows, flag inefficiencies, and work directly with our Product and Technology teams to shape the roadmap for automating settlement workflows. Your insights won’t sit in a report, they'll become features. This is a great role for someone with a solid foundation in energy settlement data and a genuine curiosity about both finance and analytics, who wants to move into a high-growth environment where their work meaningfully shifts the business. You’ll report to the Head of Trade Products, with a dotted line to the Chief Finance Officer.
