Principal Data Owner - US Power Markets

About the role

Wood Mackenzie is investing in a unified data platform to support our analyst and commercial teams across Power, Gas, and Oil. As part of that investment, we are building out a dedicated data ownership function - a team of people who are unambiguously accountable for the quality, meaning, and fitness-for-purpose of our most critical data assets. The Principal Data Owner for Power Markets is the first hire into this function, and the work you step into is live and consequential. Our Power Market Intelligence team delivers daily fundamental and price forecasts across all seven North American ISOs, supporting more than 100 customer interactions every day with asset owners, traders, and energy retailers who make real market decisions in real time. The data you own is what reaches those analysts every morning. When it's clean, normalized, and well-documented, they can focus on the work that matters. When it isn't, everything downstream suffers. This is a hands-on, individual contributor role. The scope will grow as the function matures, and you will help shape what that growth looks like. You bring the domain expertise and the accountability. We provide the platform, the investment, and the cross-functional relationships to make the work stick. We'll measure success by both internal and external impact. This is a role that sets the bar for what-good-looks-like for our internal teams and should be recognized by our customers as an SME on power market data too.
