Job Description

Join a high-impact team where technology meets trading in the dynamic energy sector. This hybrid role gives you the opportunity to shape IT solutions that power real-time decision-making for a major player in US power markets. Work cross-functionally, influence strategic initiatives, and stay at the forefront of innovation in trading systems.

Primary Services is actively recruiting for a Trading Systems Business Analyst to support a global energy client’s power trading operations. This role bridges the gap between business needs and technology delivery—working closely with traders, schedulers, and IT teams to improve systems and drive performance.

  • Serve as a liaison between US power trading business units and Trading IT to align technical solutions with business goals.
  • Gather, document, and validate business and functional requirements for trading platforms and scheduling tools.
  • Collaborate with software engineers and application vendors to design and deliver trading system solutions.
  • Develop and execute test plans to ensure software compliance with business requirements and IT controls.
  • Contribute to product roadmaps and resource planning for project delivery teams.
  • Support day-to-day system operations, troubleshooting issues and addressing user queries.
  • Manage a backlog of change requests and assist in prioritization and execution.
  • Coordinate with other Trading IT stakeholders and global teams on cross-functional initiatives.
  • Provide input on project planning, timelines, and resource allocation.
  • Promote adoption of delivered solutions and ensure high-quality service delivery to end users.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in a commodity trading or utility environment, with a focus on US power trading and scheduling.
  • Strong understanding of ISO/RTO market operations; ERCOT experience highly preferred.
  • Familiarity with bid-to-bill systems such as Softsmiths, PowerOptix, or Adapt2.
  • Experience onboarding and integrating power asset types (CCGTs, PV, BESS).
  • Solid grasp of trading system workflows, market requirements, and real-time operations.
  • Background in IT or software delivery with experience in Agile or DevOps methodologies.
  • Ability to manage multiple initiatives and communicate effectively across business and technical teams.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or a related field required.
  • Proficiency in English required; French is a plus.
