Senior Analyst, Asset & Portfolio Optimization
Hybrid Remote Houston, TX Development
Job Type
Full-time
Description

Fervo Energy is advancing the next generation of geothermal energy to deliver 24/7 carbon-free power at scale. We combine subsurface engineering, horizontal drilling, and real-time data systems to unlock a clean, reliable energy resource built for the demands of modern power markets. 


As Fervo's asset portfolio grows and market participation becomes more complex, we are building the analytical infrastructure to optimize revenue, track performance, and support high-stakes commercial decisions with rigor. This role is the analytical engine behind that work. 


The Senior Analyst, Asset & Portfolio Optimization owns the financial performance analytics for Fervo's operating and contracted assets. You will build and maintain the models, forecasts, and dashboards that connect asset performance, market prices, operating constraints, and contract terms into a clear view of P&L — and translate that view into actionable recommendations for Asset Management, Finance, and commercial leadership. 


This is a builder role that requires comfort working from first principles with incomplete data. You will support budgeting, long-range planning, scenario analysis, and bid strategy while partnering closely with Plant Operations and the Geoblock Factory to ensure physical asset realities are accurately reflected in financial models. The expectation is that the tools and processes you build scale with the portfolio. 

Requirements

Responsibilities

Revenue Forecasting & P&L Analytics 

  • Build and maintain asset-level and portfolio-level revenue forecasts incorporating price, volume, outage, contract, and asset performance assumptions to optimize revenue and margin.
  • Track actual performance versus forecast, identify variance drivers, and recommend actions to improve revenue realization and unit economics.

Scenario Analysis & Optimization 

  • Develop scenario analysis across market prices, production profiles, testing schedules, outages, curtailment, contract structures, RA/RECs, and hedging recommendations for contracted and uncontracted assets.
  • Provide analytical inputs into bid strategy, market integration decisions, contract renegotiations, and asset performance recommendations. 
  • Partner with Plant Operations and the Geoblock Factory to ensure physical asset constraints and performance characteristics are accurately reflected in optimization analyses. 

Reporting & Data Infrastructure 

  • Build and maintain asset performance dashboards, revenue trackers, and financial reporting inputs that give leadership real-time visibility into portfolio performance. 
  • Support tax equity, debt, regulatory, and compliance reporting by ensuring data consistency across operations, market results, contracts, and financial outputs.
  • Build repeatable models and scalable processes, including AI workstreams, that grow with the asset portfolio without proportional increases in analytical overhead. 
  • Build and maintain agile reporting tools and dashboard to support project coordination and reporting
  • Support the development of tools and process to automate PPA contract management and reporting

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present analytical findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders
  • Comfort operating in a fast-moving environment with competing priorities and evolving data inputs
