What are the responsibilities and job description for the Market Operations Analyst position at ElectronX?

Who are we?

An electricity exchange for the energy transition.

ElectronX™ is a new electricity market designed to enable precision risk management, volatility hedging opportunities, and the monetization of power assets for all energy market participants. As a CFTC-regulated financial exchange (subject to approval), ElectronX will offer derivatives products that capture the intraday price fluctuations of our rapidly changing electrical grid—helping to smooth the financial path of clean energy adoption across the nation.

This position reports to the Chief Operating Officer (COO) and works closely with Compliance and Technology teams. This role is uniquely suited for someone who has thrived in both the structured, high-pressure world of top-tier trading firms and the hands-on operational challenges of leading derivatives exchanges.

Operational Support & Growth

  • Oversee daily trading operations and system monitoring
  • Assist with onboarding new participants and troubleshooting issues
  • Work with Compliance on investigations and regulatory requests
  • Contribute to business continuity planning and testing

What we need from you?

  • Experience in Python & SQL—classroom or on the job
  • Thrives in fast-paced, high-stakes environments
