• Compile and interpret market intelligence to support origination efforts and internal strategy discussions.
• Support the preparation of commercial offers and business cases, translating analytical output into clear, client-ready materials.
• Work closely with trading, analytics, and legal teams to ensure models and proposals reflect current market realities.
• Contribute to the development and improvement of internal tools and data infrastructure supporting the commercial team.
• Assist in presenting Yuso's solutions to prospects, investors, and partners.

Qualifications

• Degree in Economics, Mathematics, Finance, Statistics, Energy/Environmental Policy, Power Systems Engineering, or a related quantitative field.
• And/or 1–3 years of relevant experience with demonstrable knowledge of competitive energy markets, power systems, renewable energy, and/or environmental policy.
• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint; familiarity with Word.
• Basic programming skills required; experience with Python, MATLAB, SQL, statistical packages, or economic modelling tools is a strong plus.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English; additional European languages are a plus.
• Strong research skills: ability to formulate insightful questions, source market intelligence, and synthesise complex data into clear conclusions.
• Capacity to develop and deepen expertise across the economic, environmental, regulatory, and technical dimensions of the energy industry.

Other Requirements

• Proven critical thinking skills and ability to write clearly and persuasively on complex topics.
• Commercial mindset: ability to translate analytical insights into compelling value propositions for clients.
• Self-motivated, curious, and proactive — able to work independently and as part of a collaborative team.
