The Role
SSE Renewables has an ambitious goal — to triple our renewable generation output to 30TWh by 2030. Achieving this means success in competitive auction processes across the UK, Ireland and international markets. As Senior Analyst, you will play a pivotal role in this success, driving innovative analysis and strategy that underpin winning bids for some of the largest renewable projects in the world.
In this exciting and fast-paced role, you’ll help shape our bid strategies across multiple technologies — from offshore and onshore wind to future solar and hydro developments — ensuring that every bid is commercially robust, data-driven, and designed to create maximum long-term value.
You will
* Develop in-house models and dashboards across regions and technologies to analyse electricity markets and competitors.
* Provide detailed commercial analysis and insights to maximize value from the asset portfolio.
* Investigate competitive landscapes for tenders (CfD, Capacity Market, NESO), modelling auction dynamics and performing probability analyses to inform strategy.
* Collaborate across technical, financial, and commercial teams to identify improvement opportunities and optimize market strategies.
* Support governance, reporting, and presentations for executives while championing innovation, continuous improvement, and a commercial culture.
You have
* Strong quantitative and qualitative analytical skills with experience in Python, Excel modelling, and Power BI dashboards.
* Deep commercial acumen with understanding of market and auction dynamics, able to perform probabilistic analysis in dynamic environments.
* Ability to interpret and reconcile multiple data sources, presenting results clearly and concisely.
* Solid financial modelling skills, understanding revenue-cost trade-offs, risks, sensitivities, and project design implications.
* Excellent communication and influencing skills, collaborative mindset, with a degree in Economics, Maths, Business, Accounting, or related field; experience in game theory or auction modelling is desirable.
