Position Specific Description

We are seeking a highly experienced, hands-on Director, Risk Transformation & Pricing to lead the continued development of NextEra Energy’s enterprise risk capabilities while overseeing the pricing function supporting our trading, commercial, and risk management activities. This is a senior leadership opportunity for an experienced energy professional who combines deep knowledge of commodity markets, valuation, pricing, and trading systems with a demonstrated ability to drive complex transformation initiatives.

The Risk Transformation & Pricing team sits at the intersection of markets, risk, technology, data, and valuation. The team is responsible for the development, governance, and delivery of commodity prices and forward curves used across trading and risk platforms, including key interfaces into ETRM and other enterprise systems. Responsibilities include market data and curve construction, aggregation and governance of trader-assessed curves, valuation support and validation, pricing controls, and ensuring that market data used for valuation and risk measurement is accurate, transparent, and appropriately governed.

The Director will also play a leadership role in the broader transformation of NextEra Energy’s market risk infrastructure and operating model. This includes partnering across Risk, Commercial, Technology, Finance, and other stakeholders to modernize processes and systems, strengthen controls, improve data quality and automation, and develop scalable capabilities that support an increasingly complex portfolio of energy and commodity activities.

The successful candidate will bring significant experience in energy and commodity markets, with a strong understanding of forward curves, market data, valuation methodologies, derivatives, ETRM platforms, and risk and pricing controls. Equally important, this individual will be a hands-on leader who can work through complex pricing and valuation issues while establishing the governance, processes, technology, and analytics required for a first-class pricing and risk infrastructure.

The role has broad enterprise reach, supporting NextEra Energy Marketing (NEM), NextEra Energy Services (NES), Florida Power & Light / Energy Marketing & Trading (FPL/EMT), Treasury, and Natural Gas Infrastructure, and requires the ability to work effectively across multiple businesses, commodities, systems, and stakeholder groups.

The ability to translate complex market, pricing, valuation, and technology issues into clear business decisions will be critical. The Director will be expected to challenge existing processes constructively, establish consistent standards where appropriate, and help build scalable solutions that improve the accuracy, transparency, and efficiency of pricing, valuation, and risk management across the organization.

This role reports to the Executive Director, Head of Market Risk and Analytics and is based at NextEra Energy’s offices in Houston, TX.
