As OCI’s power portfolio evolves beyond traditional grid procurement into onsite generation, renewable PPAs, battery storage, and hedging structures, this role will be at the center of modeling those emerging commercial arrangements and quantifying their financial impact for leadership. You will own the end-to-end financial planning, analysis, and decision support for alternative power and energy costs across OCI’s global datacenter fleet. You will build and maintain the models, own the forecast, develop the unit economics, and partner directly with energy procurement, datacenter operations, and deals teams. You will be expected to understand how electricity markets work, how power delivery infrastructure affects cost, and how commercial structures translate into P&L and balance sheet impact.
Financial Planning: Support forecasting, budgeting, and long-range planning processes for OCI’s business units
Own the alternative power and energy cost forecast across all OCI regions, including monthly, quarterly, and annual planning cycles. Drive accuracy and root-cause misses when they happen.
Build and maintain financial models for onsite power generation economics, including gas turbine installations, behind-the-meter configurations, and self-generation vs. grid cost comparisons.
Analyze fixed-price and non-grid power arrangements, including long-term power purchase agreements, tolling structures, and their financial implications across contract lifecycles.
Develop unit economics ($/MWh, $/kW) by region, facility, and power source to support capacity planning and site selection decisions.
Monitor wholesale electricity market dynamics (particularly ERCOT and other relevant ISOs) and translate market trends into forecast assumptions and risk assessments.
Support mega deal financial planning by modeling power cost assumptions for large campus buildouts, including phased capacity delivery and ramp schedules.
Build feedback loops with upstream teams: validate volume inputs from capacity planning, challenge rate assumptions from deals finance, and push for improved data quality when inputs don’t hold up.
Create scenario analyses for leadership that frame trade-offs clearly: what happens if rates move, if generation assets underperform, if grid interconnection timelines slip.
Automate and improve existing reporting and forecasting processes. Reduce manual effort and increase the speed and reliability of the information you deliver.
Develop financial models that compare power sourcing strategies across the full spectrum: grid vs. off-grid, usage-based vs. fixed-price contracts, and hedged vs. unhedged exposure. Provide decision support to leadership on the cost, risk, and flexibility trade-offs of each approach.
Model the financial performance and cost implications of renewable energy procurement, including power purchase agreements (PPAs), renewable energy certificates (RECs), and carbon-free energy strategies as OCI scales its sustainability commitments.
Analyze energy rate forward curves across key markets to assess budget risks and opportunities. Translate forward pricing signals into actionable forecast assumptions and proactive recommendations for energy procurement timing and strategy.
Develop new-region energy cost models for sites in the planning pipeline, forecasting power costs in markets where OCI does not yet operate by analyzing local tariff structures, wholesale market dynamics, and available supply options.
Model the economics of battery energy storage systems (BESS), including charge/discharge optimization, peak shaving value, and integration with onsite generation and grid supply to support infrastructure investment decisions.
Reporting: Prepare financial presentations for business stakeholders and manage monthly and quarterly reporting schedules.
Quarter-end Close: Participate in quarter-end close processes and activities in collaboration with Finance, Operations, and Business teams.
Preferred Skills and Experience:
8+ years in FP&A, strategic finance, energy finance, or infrastructure finance. Datacenter, cloud, utility, or power industry experience preferred but not required.
BS/BA in Accounting/Finance preferred. CPA/MBA desired.
Strong financial modeling skills. Comfort operating with incomplete information, uncertain inputs, and evolving commercial structures. You need to be comfortable making informed assumptions and updating them as facts emerge.
Ability to translate technical complexity into financial impact. You can take a conversation about heat rates, capacity factors, and interconnection timelines and turn it into something a finance VP can act on.
Bias for action and intellectual curiosity. This domain is changing fast. Onsite generation, battery storage, cooling economics for AI workloads — the person in this role needs to want to learn continuously.
Clear communicator who can challenge assumptions respectfully. You will push back on upstream inputs, question vendor proposals, and advocate for forecast accuracy. This requires directness and credibility.
Nice to Have:
- Experience with ERCOT, PJM, MISO, or other ISO/RTO wholesale market structures.
- Familiarity with onsite generation technologies: gas turbines, combined heat and power, battery energy storage systems.
- Understanding of cooling infrastructure economics and their relationship to power consumption (PUE, liquid cooling, rack density implications).
- Experience with renewable energy procurement structures: PPAs, virtual PPAs, RECs, or carbon-free energy programs.
- Experience analyzing energy forward curves, hedging strategies, or energy risk management frameworks.
