Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Customer Engagement, Engineering, Retail Services, Reg/Leg, and Finance) to gather inputs, validate assumptions, and ensure analytical consistency.
Improve model structure and functionality by incorporating validation checks, documentation, and version control practices to enhance reliability and transparency.
Develop and document consistent project evaluation methodologies, including cost estimation, forecasting approaches, discounting assumptions, and performance metrics.
Prepare clear, concise executive-level reports, presentations, and decision memoranda summarizing findings, risks, trade-offs, and recommendations.
Organize and maintain centralized records of assumptions, models, and historical analyses to support transparency, continuity, and audit readiness.
Provide training and structured knowledge transfer to internal staff and support implementation of documented processes to enable transition of analytical capability into regular business functions.
Perform other related duties.

Experience conducting complex financial feasibility, business case, and risk analyses for utility, energy, infrastructure, or other capital-intensive projects.
