This involves running and optimising the most critical operations processes in the business: asset management, trading across UK flexibility markets, and ultimately ensuring our clients and end customers get paid for the flex they deliver.A note on the job title: Analytics engineering is often closely associated with dbt. We don't use dbt at Axle because our data set up doesn't require a full ETL framework. Instead, this role is centred on the core analytics engineering skill set: developing a deep understanding of source data and building the data pipelines that power our analytics.What you will be doingOwning operations for our UK energy trading (e.g. daily trading processes, reviewing settlements)Debugging complex edge cases across our trading, asset registration and settlement processesIdentifying risks to revenue and delivery and proactively mitigate themCommunicating insights and actions clearly
