Position Specific Description

Role purpose

Shape the NEER risk strategy and support executive decision-making by delivering insights from portfolio-level analysis of energy infrastructure projects. Aggregate and translate financial, market, regulatory, and project-level risk assessments into actionable intelligence on systemic risks, emerging risks, and capital exposure to inform planning and resource allocation. Proactively identify, assess, and manage high-impact risks to enable early mitigation and cross-functional coordination to drive a forward-looking, enterprise-wide view of portfolio-level risks and opportunities across our renewable energy assets.

Primary responsibilities

• Build and maintain portfolio-level dashboards and metrics that synthesize financial risks, market risks, regulatory risks, and project risks, highlighting systemic trends and early warning indicators. Own the portfolio-level risk methodology.
• Track daily changes in risk and performance metrics and inform NEER CRO and business unit leads of risk issues to their businesses.  Incorporate risk issues for both operating projects and development pipeline.
• Provide independent, proactive strategic risk advisory to NEER CRO and corporate ERM team in line with defined risk appetite, risk tolerance metrics, and business objectives
• Strengthen management of cross-functional risk interdependencies by equipping teams with shared resources, visibility tools, and guidance
• Equip leadership with insight into cumulative risk posture and provide recommendations for capital deployment and prioritization
• Lead portfolio-level scenario analysis and stress testing to inform capital allocation and pipeline planning
• Design and maintain stochastic models (e.g., Monte Carlo, Value-at-Risk, P50/P90 yield) to quantify financial exposure and upside potential
• Translate model outputs into actionable insights for project-financing decisions
• Foster a continuous-improvement mindset by sharing best practices, lessons learned, and leading indicators
• Monitor evolving political and regulatory guidance (e.g., FERC, NERC, SEC-climate requirements); translate into portfolio-level controls.

Preferred Skills

• Familiarity with portfolio-level scenario analysis and stress testing techniques
• Knowledge of capital-intensive sectors and risk management, with experience in performance tracking or portfolio management
• Experience building and managing dashboards using Excel, Tableau, Power BI, or similar
• Advanced proficiency in financial modeling, probability distributions, and sensitivity analysis (Excel, @Risk, Python/R)
• Strong communicator with executive presence; able to translate analytical complexity into decision-ready narratives
• Strategic thinker with the ability to align diverse stakeholders around risk-informed planning
• Able to provide effective challenge to senior leadership
• High learning agility; thrives in fast-changing environments

Desired Experience / Accreditations

• 5–10 years in strategy, portfolio analytics, or enterprise planning — ideally in energy, infrastructure, or capital-intensive sectors
• Familiarity with risk management and governance frameworks (e.g., 3 Lines of Defense, COSO ERM framework, enterprise risk committees)
• Advanced degree in Finance, Engineering, Economics, Public Policy, or Data Science preferred
• Certifications such as FRM, CFA, or PMP are advantageous
• Demonstrated track record of success in driving strategic risk management initiatives across functional areas
