Job Description:

Idaho Power - located in vibrant Boise, Idaho - is looking for a Risk Analyst or Senior Risk Analyst to join our Treasury Services team. It's an exciting time to work for Idaho Power. Our work plays a critical role in communities we serve across Idaho and Oregon, and we're working hard to safely provide our customers with the safe, reliable, and affordable energy they depend on.

Senior Risk Analysts provide technical leadership for the risk function, serve as subject matter experts in market risk, credit risk, collateral management, and industry agreements (e.g., ISDA, NAESB, WSPP, and REC), mentor team members, support complex transactions and negotiations, and act as the primary risk resource in the manager's absence.
