Help build the future of our energy markets!
Short-term power markets in Europe are no longer niche. Intraday volatility, negative price events, imbalance settlements, and weather-driven generation fluctuations are now part of the daily reality. At Scholt Energy, we are building the analytical capabilities needed to stay ahead of these developments, and this role is at the center of that ambition.
As an Energy Market Analyst – Short-Term Markets, you monitor, analyze, and interpret day-ahead and intraday price dynamics, imbalance market behavior, renewable generation patterns, and ancillary signals across the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and Austria. You go beyond tracking the market; you connect real-time developments to forward-looking insights that support medium- and long-term commercial and trading decisions.
In this role, you gather, analyze, and report on short-term energy market developments daily, with a strong focus on imbalance, day-ahead, and intraday markets. You develop and maintain forward-looking scenarios and projections, while collecting, managing, and transforming relevant market data into actionable insights. You build and continuously improve analytical tools, dashboards, and models to strengthen decision-making across the business.
You present clear, data-driven analyses, both written and verbal, to internal and external stakeholders, and respond to ad hoc research questions from the organization. Based on your insights, you identify and substantiate buying and selling opportunities for clients.
You work closely with teams such as Strategy & Optimization, Short-Term Trading, and Sales, acting as a sparring partner in strategic decision-making. You actively contribute to internal and cross-departmental projects and help ensure continuity within the team by serving as a backup for other Market Analysis roles.
This function is being built from the ground up. You will not step into a fully defined structure; you will shape it together with the Team Lead. From analytical frameworks and KPIs to tools, dashboards, and stakeholder rhythms, your work will leave a lasting impact on how this capability evolves within the organization.
If you thrive in an environment where you can turn ambiguity into structure and want to make a tangible impact in a growing, high-performing team, this role offers a unique opportunity to do so.
