The Director of Energy Analytics will also be responsible for managing, mentoring, and expanding teams of Energy Analysts within the United States, Europe, and Asia. The successful candidate will be familiar with the challenges of growing and leading technical teams across multiple geographies while ensuring consistently high-quality team output and maintaining strong employee retention. Direct line management experience is a must for this position. Finally, the Director of Energy Analytics will consult as needed across other functional areas within cQuant including Solution Engineering (technical pre-sales), Customer Success, Quantitative Development, and Marketing.
