To thrive as a Scenario Analyst, you need strong analytical skills, a background in data analysis or risk management, and typically a degree in a related field such as economics, business, or environmental science. Proficiency with modeling tools, data visualization software, and scenario planning frameworks like Monte Carlo simulation or SWOT analysis is common.

They often facilitate workshops or meetings to understand different perspectives and ensure their scenarios reflect real business challenges. These collaborations help ensure that the scenario outcomes are realistic, relevant, and directly inform strategic decision-making. Building strong relationships across teams is key to effectively implementing recommended actions based on scenario analysis.

What is scenario analysis?

Scenario analysis is a strategic planning method used to evaluate possible future events by considering alternative outcomes or scenarios. It involves identifying key uncertainties, developing a range of plausible scenarios, and assessing their potential impact on business objectives or investments. Organizations use scenario analysis to anticipate risks, make informed decisions, and improve resilience against unexpected changes. This approach is commonly applied in finance, risk management, and environmental planning.

Job description

Description

Fervo Energy is advancing the next generation of geothermal energy to deliver 24/7 carbon-free power at scale. We combine subsurface engineering, horizontal drilling, and real-time data systems to unlock a clean, reliable energy resource built for the demands of modern power markets. 


As Fervo's asset portfolio grows and market participation becomes more complex, we are building the analytical infrastructure to optimize revenue, track performance, and support high-stakes commercial decisions with rigor. This role is the analytical engine behind that work. 


The Senior Analyst, Asset & Portfolio Optimization owns the financial performance analytics for Fervo's operating and contracted assets. You will build and maintain the models, forecasts, and dashboards that connect asset performance, market prices, operating constraints, and contract terms into a clear view of P&L - and translate that view into actionable recommendations for Asset Management, Finance, and commercial leadership. 


This is a builder role that requires comfort working from first principles with incomplete data. You will support budgeting, long-range planning, scenario analysis, and bid strategy while partnering closely with Plant Operations and the Geoblock Factory to ensure physical asset realities are accurately reflected in financial models. The expectation is that the tools and processes you build scale with the portfolio. 

Requirements

Responsibilities

Revenue Forecasting & P&L Analytics 

  • Build and maintain asset-level and portfolio-level revenue forecasts incorporating price, volume, outage, contract, and asset performance assumptions to optimize revenue and margin.
  • Track actual performance versus forecast, identify variance drivers, and recommend actions to improve revenue realization and unit economics.
  • Support annual budgeting, long-range planning, and P&L optimization processes in partnership with Finance and Asset Management leadership. 

Scenario Analysis & Optimization 

  • Develop scenario analysis across market prices, production profiles, testing schedules, outages, curtailment, contract structures, RA/RECs, and hedging recommendations for contracted and uncontracted assets.
  • Provide analytical inputs into bid strategy, market integration decisions, contract renegotiations, and asset performance recommendations. 
  • Partner with Plant Operations and the Geoblock Factory to ensure physical asset constraints and performance characteristics are accurately reflected in optimization analyses. 

Reporting & Data Infrastructure 

  • Build and maintain asset performance dashboards, revenue trackers, and financial reporting inputs that give leadership real-time visibility into portfolio performance. 
  • Support tax equity, debt, regulatory, and compliance reporting by ensuring data consistency across operations, market results, contracts, and financial outputs.
  • Build repeatable models and scalable processes, including AI workstreams, that grow with the asset portfolio without proportional increases in analytical overhead. 
  • Build and maintain agile reporting tools and dashboard to support project coordination and reporting
  • Support the development of tools and process to automate PPA contract management and reporting 

Qualifications

Required

  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related quantitative field
  • 3+ years of experience in financial, economic, or data analysis
  • Strong financial modeling and scenario analysis skills, with advanced proficiency in Excel and comfort building complex, multi-variable models from first principles
  • Demonstrated ability to translate operational and market data into P&L, revenue, and margin analytics that drive decision support
  • Experience working with incomplete or ambiguous data, structuring problems independently, and refining models iteratively over time
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present analytical findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders
  • Comfort operating in a fast-moving environment with competing priorities and evolving data inputs 

Preferred 

  • Master's degree or MBA in a relevant field
  • Experience in power markets, renewables, infrastructure, trading analytics, FP&A, or commercial asset management
  • Proficiency in Python or other advanced data and analytics tools
  • Experience building or working with AI-assisted analytical workflows
  • Familiarity with ISO/RTO market structures, resource adequacy, RECs, or energy contract mechanics Prior experience in a role that required building scalable models or processes in a high-growth or asset-heavy environment 

Location

Fervo Energy is headquartered in Houston, TX with growing offices in Oakland, CA, Golden, CO, Reno, NV, and Salt Lake City, UT. This position will be eligible for some hybrid work flexibility, but regular in-office presence at Fervo's Houston office will be required. Some travel is required for this position.
