Professionals in this role work with utility companies, grid operators, and consumers to implement programs that enhance grid stability and efficiency. Responsibilities may include developing demand response strategies, analyzing energy usage data, and facilitating communication between stakeholders. This helps reduce strain on the power grid, lower energy costs, and support sustainability efforts.

What does demand response do?

Demand Response professionals are responsible for monitoring energy usage patterns, analyzing data to identify demand shifts, and implementing strategies that help balance energy supply and demand. On a typical day, you may coordinate with utility operators, customers, and facility managers to plan and execute demand response events, ensuring compliance with program guidelines. You’ll also review performance metrics, troubleshoot event issues, and prepare reports on program effectiveness. This role often requires a proactive approach to communication and problem-solving to ensure energy savings goals and grid reliability targets are met.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in demand response?

To excel in a Demand Response role, you need a solid understanding of energy management, grid operations, and data analysis, often supported by a degree in engineering, energy systems, or a related field. Familiarity with demand response management systems (DRMS), utility software platforms, and relevant certifications such as CEM (Certified Energy Manager) are valuable. Strong project management, communication, and problem-solving skills help you collaborate effectively with utilities, building managers, and customers. These capabilities are crucial for optimizing energy usage, maintaining grid stability, and supporting sustainability initiatives in dynamic energy markets.

Job description

Portland, Oregon (preferred), or Bend, Oregon (for the right candidate)

Customer Operations Manager

Elexity is disrupting the C&I energy storage and building energy management market. Our whole-building EMS platform is a new approach to controlling, managing, and optimizing energy in commercial buildings. We uniquely pair traditional energy storage with predictive load control technology to significantly reduce demand charges and time-based energy costs, maximize on-site solar, provide a more reliable backup solution, and enable customers to participate in grid services programs. Elexity is a critical enabler of the energy transition. We unlock energy value from C&I buildings with intelligent energy control, delivering on the promise of a dynamic, flexible, and renewable grid. We are a growth-stage, venture-funded company.

Why Work for Us?
  • You love getting things done
  • You want to leave customers feeling delighted
  • You want to build the operational backbone of an early stage disrupter, not inherit one
  • You want to design processes and tools, not just execute someone else’s
  • You want to make a significant contribution to the energy transition
What will you do

In support of business development and product development, the Senior Energy Analyst will:

  • Deliver economic analysis, including savings reports, to customers.
  • Analyze expected savings at prospective sites for customers and partners.
  • Defend results in presentations to the management team.
  • Research and model site economics, operating strategies, and enrollment procedures for demand response programs in multiple markets.
  • Specify improvements to our utility tariff analysis engine.
  • Specify improvements to our control algorithms.
  • Run site simulations of different hardware configurations, control strategies, load control programs, and tariff choices.

In this cross‑functional, high‑impact role, you will get a crash course in renewable energy, load flexibility, and the future of the grid. If you want to grow your career and help prepare our energy system for a 100% renewable grid, this position is for you.

Skills & Qualifications
  • Quantitative understanding of energy economics and energy systems
  • Bachelor’s degree required (energy systems, engineering, economics, data science, statistics, operations research, mathematics, or similar)
  • Minimum 5 years of experience in data analysis and data visualization in Python; you wake up wondering what new tricks you can make pandas dataframes and matplotlib do
  • SQL skills are a plus
  • Strong economics and time‑series analysis experience required. You will be modeling complex utility tariffs beginning in Week 1, so that should appeal to you.
  • Strong written, oral, and presentation communication skills
  • Must be comfortable in a customer‑facing role
  • Strong sense of ownership, urgency, and drive
  • Familiarity with modeling behind‑the‑meter energy projects is a plus
  • Familiarity with solar energy, energy storage, building controls, commercial electric rates, demand response, virtual power plants (VPPs), and utilities are all major pluses
Location, Compensation and Benefits
  • Portland, Oregon (preferred), Bend, Oregon (for the right candidate)
  • Stock compensation
  • Medical, dental, vision, 401k and competitive PTO
