The person in this position will conduct data analysis of key trends embedded in participant inquiries, identifying patterns, and discovering critical knowledge gaps that can then support the ISO’s decision making about what resources may be needed to address gaps or proactively anticipate and serve participant needs. Strong analytics will lead to the development of more targeted technical readiness and real-time support for participants on daily interactions with the ISO. The Information and Solutions Data Analyst will also resolve inquiries and develop supporting materials in anticipation of participants’ needs. While the analyst is an individual contributor, their success hinges on thoughtful and effective collaboration in inter- and intra-departmental teams.
The position requires the ability to interpret, analyze, and summarize complex technical and regulatory information to resolve participant questions and issues across markets, system operations, transmission services, settlements, and financial assurance areas. Tracking data trends requires adeptly understanding individual issues and their resolution, from which broader trends can be identified and additional analysis can be performed. This position carries both the expectation and the opportunity for an ever-deepening knowledge of all aspects of ISO operations, collaboration with ISO business owners, and interaction with participants about their business needs.
