Position SummaryYou will own the product strategy, roadmap, and commercial outcomes for Market Data - the ISO and public data (EIA, NWS, and others) Yes Energy collects, and the value we build on top of it across our UI, API, Snowflake, and data lake products. This role requires deep nodal power market fluency and genuine data fluency, because the value of this data is entirely contextual to how customers use it to make trading and investment decisions. The hard part of this job isn't collecting the data. It's deciding which derivative products are worth building, what customers will value, and how to define a roadmap that advances how energy market participants work, and helps move the industry forward.
