The RoleComity is looking for members of the Business Operations team to take an active role in ensuring our success each day in power markets. Expect to wear many hats and to work on problems that are mission-critical to the business day in and day out.
In this role, you will
build tools and systems that power our operations,
drive improved efficiency and performance in our power trading unit with data-backed analysis, and
own projects that support new market growth and rapid scaling of our power trading unit
As an early hire in this role, you’ll have broad impact over our operations platforms, information systems, and team culture.
Comity has two core teams: Power Markets and Commercial. This role is part of our Power Markets team.
You have 4+ years of experience in operations, product, or strategy in a fast-paced environment such as a high-growth tech company; management consulting; investment banking; private equity.
You are highly analytical: You can take an ambiguous challenge, break it down clearly, and design a path forward. You think in frameworks without being rigid, and you move from insight to action quickly.
You have proficiency with Python and one or more common analytical tools such as SQL, Tableau, etc.
You are detail oriented: You measure twice and cut once, ensuring work products have zero defects.
You are an excellent communicator: As well as solving problems, you can communicate your thinking to various stakeholder audiences who may have divergent points-of-view.

You do what it takes to move the business forward, even when the playbook hasn't been written yet.
