THE ROLE

Comity is looking for members of the Business Operations team to take an active role in ensuring our success each day in power markets. Expect to wear many hats and to work on problems that are mission-critical to the business day in and day out.

In this role, you will

- build tools and systems that power our operations,

- drive improved efficiency and performance in our power trading unit with data-backed analysis, and

- own projects that support new market growth and rapid scaling of our power trading unit

As an early hire in this role, you’ll have broad impact over our operations platforms, information systems, and team culture.

WE’RE EXCITED ABOUT YOU BECAUSE:

- You have 4+ years of experience in operations, product, or strategy in a fast-paced environment such as a high-growth tech company; management consulting; investment banking; private equity.

- You are highly analytical: You can take an ambiguous challenge, break it down clearly, and design a path forward. You think in frameworks without being rigid, and you move from insight to action quickly.

- You have proficiency with Python and one or more common analytical tools such as SQL, Tableau, etc.

- You are detail oriented: You measure twice and cut once, ensuring work products have zero defects.

- You are an excellent communicator: As well as solving problems, you can communicate your thinking to various stakeholder audiences who may have divergent points-of-view.

- You have a builder mentality — You thrive in 0→1 environments. You operate effectively under ambiguity, move with urgency, and are motivated by creating something new, not optimizing something that already exists. You do what it takes to move the business forward, even when the playbook hasn't been written yet.

- You are eager to learn: You are eager to learn and grow; you enjoy the pain of a steep learning curve.

LOCATION

We have hubs in Chicago, New York City, and San Francisco. We have a hybrid work structure, with 3 days per week in the office. Chicago is the preferred location for this role.
