With already a 100MW BESS in FID, Neoen is expanding into Japan and is looking for an Energy Markets Analyst to support our market entry. This is a unique opportunity to be the first energy markets hire in Japan, working at the intersection of market analysis, business development, and strategy as we establish our presence in one of Asia's most dynamic energy markets.

A central near-term mission will be to establish Neoen’s route-to-market for large-scale batteries in Japan.

You will work closely with Neoen's experienced Australian Energy Management team, combining local market expertise with Neoen's proven analytical and operational frameworks. Given the scope of the role, we are looking for someone comfortable wearing multiple hats, and is excited to help build something from the ground up.

Your main missions will be the following : 

Market Analysis & Tools

• Monitor, analyse and report on activity in Japan's evolving electricity markets and regulation (JEPX spot market, capacity market, balancing markets, and emerging ancillary services)
• Assess market fundamentals and trends — including renewable penetration, curtailment risk, negative pricing dynamics, and grid constraint developments — and translate these into actionable insights for Neoen's strategy
• Deliver long-term power market analysis leveraging external data sources and developing in-house views adapted to the Japanese market
• Develop and implement tools to automate market monitoring, reporting, and analysis tasks

• Support Neoen Japan's development teams in projecting revenues for future assets (batteries, but also possibly wind and solar)
• Build and continuously improve internal revenue and merchant risk models tailored to Japan's regulatory and market structure
• Participate in offtake negotiations and valuation, developing market-appropriate structuring approaches (e.g. tolling, revenue sharing…)

• Identify and evaluate potential aggregators for Neoen Japan's batteries assets, assessing technical capabilities, market track record, commercial terms, and strategic alignment
• Define and negotiate route-to-market agreements, working closely with Neoen's legal, development, and global Energy Management teams to structure arrangements appropriate to Japan's regulatory framework
• Develop a clear view of Neoen's strategic route-to-market options, assessing trade-offs between full outsourcing, co-optimisation models, and longer-term pathways toward self-dispatch as the team and portfolio grow
• Establish performance monitoring frameworks to track and challenge aggregators performance across relevant markets
• Act as Neoen Japan's primary day-to-day interface with aggregators once agreements are in place, coordinating on operational matters, market strategy, and evolving dispatch instructions
• Support the structuring and negotiation of offtake agreements for Neoen Japan’s batteries

• Engage with local market participants, regulators (METI, OCCTO), grid operators, and external advisors to stay ahead of market developments
• Communicate analysis and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences, internally and externally

You will need the following skills/experiences to be successful in this role :

• Master's degree in Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Energy, Data Science, or a related field
• Proficiency in Python, experience with version control (Git)
• Solid understanding of Japanese electricity market structure — JEPX, FIT/FIP mechanisms, grid codes, and ongoing liberalisation reforms
• 2+ years of experience in energy markets, power trading, market analysis
• Exposure to renewable energy (wind, solar, storage) is preferred
• Full professional fluency in both Japanese and English is essential
• proactive and curious with a strong appetite for proposing and exploring new ideas
• Business acumen, comfortable engaging in commercial discussions 
• Interpersonal skills and ability to work in a transversal organization
• Rigorous, organized and ready to work on several projects in parallel in a fast running and high-skilled environment
• Strong communication skills
• Ability to work autonomously as management will be remote
