Responsibilities

JOB PURPOSE

The Power Trader II, Commercial Optimization & Market Operations, is responsible for market execution and commercial decision making that protect and enhance the value of Pattern’s operating assets and portfolio. The role manages day-ahead through long-term market exposures, aligns trading activity with asset economics and contractual obligations, and translates market opportunities into measurable improvements in risk-adjusted portfolio value. Success is evaluated primarily through value preservation and value creation for the portfolio, within approved risk, compliance, liquidity, and operational limits.

KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES

Own the execution of day-ahead, real-time, and term transactions across applicable U.S. power markets, consistent with approved portfolio strategies and risk limits. Optimize physical generation, storage, transmission, and contractual positions by integrating market conditions, asset availability, operating constraints, congestion, curtailment, basis, and settlement outcomes. Develop and execute hedging strategies that manage revenue, price, volume, shape, and basis exposures while supporting asset budgets and portfolio objectives. Assess trading decisions using risk-adjusted portfolio value, downside protection, cash-flow stability, and performance against approved plans as the primary measures of success. Identify and implement opportunities to improve asset and portfolio economics, including contract optimization, market participation enhancements, and coordinated dispatch or bidding strategies. Maintain a forward view of market fundamentals and portfolio exposures across short-term, mid-term, and long-term horizons, and recommend actions based on expected value and risk. Partner with Asset Management, Risk, Finance, Performance Management, Operations, Settlements, Regulatory, and Legal teams to align market activity with physical capability, contractual requirements, and enterprise objectives. Serve as a subject matter expert on electricity markets, market rules, and the interaction between market conditions and renewable asset performance. Monitor positions, limits, controls, and trading compliance; ensure complete, accurate, and timely trade capture, documentation, and escalation of exceptions. Analyze realized and expected portfolio performance, explain key value drivers and variances, and incorporate lessons learned into future strategies and operating plans. Contribute to portfolio planning, budgeting, and investment decisions by providing market intelligence, scenario analysis, and commercial recommendations. Promote a disciplined, transparent, and collaborative trading culture centered on ownership, sound judgment, and sustainable portfolio value. Qualifications

EXPERIENCE/QUALIFICATIONS/EDUCATION REQUIRED

Qualifications 5+ years of relevant experience in power markets, renewable energy, asset optimization, energy trading, portfolio management, or a related commercial role. Demonstrated understanding of renewable asset economics, project budgets, wholesale power markets, and common power contract structures. Proficient managing power basis risk. Experience managing physical and financial market exposures across multiple time horizons and evaluating decisions on a risk-adjusted basis. Working knowledge of trading controls, market rules, compliance obligations, position limits, and trade lifecycle requirements. Strong quantitative, analytical, and commercial judgment, with the ability to convert complex market and operational information into actionable decisions. Ability to collaborate effectively across diverse teams and communicate portfolio risks, opportunities, and recommendations to technical and executive audiences. Demonstrated ownership, sound judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to operate effectively in fast-moving markets. Education Bachelor’s degree in Business or a related field required; equivalent relevant experience may be considered. The expected starting pay range for this role is $120,000 - $150,000 USD. This range is an estimate and base pay may be above or below the ranges based on several factors including but not limited to location, work experience, certifications, and education.
