Originator with analyst and hedging experience. This is one of the most critical hires on the team: the role bridges commercial deal-making, quantitative analysis, and energy risk management in support of Lambda's data center growth. For the right candidate with commodity risk experience, hedging analysis can become a core, ongoing responsibility rather than an occasional task. What You'll Do • Originate Energy Agreements: Lead origination of PPAs, utility interconnection agreements, and energy supply contracts; experience in a data center context strongly preferred. • Build the Investment Case: Develop LCOE and NPV/IRR analyses comparing utility (typically $1M-$3M guarantee), hybrid, and islanded (~$300K credit support) power strategies to inform site and structure decisions. • Own Hedging Strategy: Evaluate and execute power and fuel price hedges that directly de-risk and support GPU financing. • Structure the Instruments: Work across fixed-price contracts, heat rate call options, financial swaps, basis swaps, and NYMEX and OTC gas to manage price exposure. • Manage Demand Charge Risk: Model peak demand exposure and identify tariff, demand response, or BESS strategies to reduce cost. • Forecast Energy Costs: Produce site-level energy cost forecasts at acquisition using tariff structures and market price curves. • Lead Negotiations: Negotiate directly with utilities, Solaris, VoltaGrid, and fuel suppliers on commercial and technical terms. • Track the Market: Maintain working knowledge of RTO/ISO processes, tariff structures, state regulatory risk, and broader energy market dynamics. You • Background: Meaningful experience in energy origination, commodity/power trading, or utility-scale power markets, with direct exposure to contract negotiation and deal execution. • Analytical Rigor: Comfortable building and pressure-testing LCOE, NPV, and IRR models comparing competing power supply strategies. • Hedging Experience: Hands-on experience evaluating or executing power and gas hedges (swaps, options, NYMEX/OTC); prior experience holding commodity risk is a strong plus. • Communication Skills: Able to negotiate directly with utilities and counterparties, and to translate complex risk and financial analysis for senior leadership. Nice to Have • Prior experience procuring or structuring power for data centers, hyperscale, or other large industrial/AI infrastructure loads. • Working familiarity with RTO/ISO markets (ERCOT, PJM, MISO, CAISO, SPP, etc.) and their tariff and settlement structures. • Exposure to project or asset financing where power costs and hedges are a driver of the financing structure (e.g., GPU or infrastructure financing). • Background at a utility, energy trading desk, IPP, data center developer, or commodity risk management group.
