• Identify, quantify, and pursue opportunities to reduce or release collateral, including excess cash deposits and over-collateralized positions.
• Evaluate alternative forms of credit support, including letters of credit, surety bonds, parent guarantees, reserve arrangements, and unsecured credit.
• Engage counterparty credit and risk teams to understand calculation methodologies, challenge errors or unsupported assumptions, and negotiate reductions where appropriate.
• Monitor the financial, operational, contractual, and market drivers that affect collateral requirements and unsecured credit capacity.
• Prepare short- and medium-term collateral forecasts and scenario analyses to support liquidity planning and cash management.
• Maintain accurate counterparty documentation, calculation support, contact information, review schedules, and renewal or expiration dates.
• Prepare weekly and monthly reporting on total collateral, requirement versus posted amount, headroom to internal limits, excess collateral, upcoming needs, and reduction initiatives.
• Partner with Finance, Treasury, Portfolio and Risk Management, and Operations to resolve collateral matters and implement optimization strategies.
• Develop and improve collateral controls, procedures, dashboards, models, and automated reporting.

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Risk Management, Business, or a related field.
• 2+ years of relevant experience in collateral management, credit risk, counterparty risk, treasury, energy finance, commodity trading support, or financial analysis.
• Advanced proficiency in Excel, including financial modeling, reconciliations, scenario analysis, and large-data-set management.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to identify calculation errors, exposure drivers, and actionable reduction opportunities.
• Excellent attention to detail, organizational skills, and follow-through.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to work directly with external credit and risk teams.
• Ability to manage multiple counterparties, deadlines, and competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.

• Experience in retail energy, wholesale power, natural gas, utilities, pipelines, ISO/RTO markets, or other commodity-based businesses.
• Knowledge of utility, pipeline, and ISO/RTO credit and collateral requirements.
• Understanding of letters of credit, surety bonds, guarantees, cash collateral, and unsecured credit arrangements.
• Experience reviewing exposure reports, collateral methodologies, contracts, tariffs, or credit policies.
• Experience with ERP, treasury, risk-management, business-intelligence, or financial-reporting systems.
• Persistent and professional approach to challenging requirements and negotiating favorable outcomes.

• We offer Health, Dental, Optical and Life Insurance, PTO (paid time off) and the opportunity for promotions and room to advance.
