What you will do

The analyst will act as a central coordination point for the commercial function, helping projects stay organized, timelines stay visible, and analysis reach the right stakeholders at the right time. The role requires strong organization, comfort with quantitative work, and the ability to collaborate across Sales, Product, Engineering, and Customer Success.

Project and workstream coordination

• Manage commercial initiatives from an operational standpoint by tracking tasks, deadlines, deliverables, and follow-ups across internal teams and external partners.
• Keep sight of the broader commercial pipeline and surface risks early so the Business Development Manager can stay focused on the most important priorities.
• Gather inputs and coordinate activity across Sales, Product, Customer Success, and Engineering to keep work moving efficiently.
• Draft meeting agendas, capture notes, and maintain follow-up records for both internal and partner discussions.
• Create and maintain trackers, templates, and workflow tools that improve the commercial team’s efficiency as the company grows.

Analysis and market modeling

• Operate and update financial and carbon intensity models used to assess environmental attribute value, deal economics, and margin scenarios for biofuel partners.
• Revise and test existing models when market conditions, regulatory settings, or partner data change.
• Monitor updates related to Section 45Z, LCFS, RFS/RINs, RECs, and other clean fuel initiatives, then translate those changes into concise internal updates.
• Track carbon intensity benchmark levels and tranche thresholds across the partner portfolio and flag significant movement to the Business Development Manager.
• Assist with analysis of biofuel plant value levers such as REC opportunities and carbon intensity reduction pathways when needed.

Partner support

• Prepare partner-ready materials such as market summaries, program performance reviews, carbon intensity score reports, and transaction documents under the direction of the Business Development Manager.
• Help build presentations and strategic briefings for biofuel plants, farmers, and channel partners.
• Ensure partner information is complete, accurate, and organized before meetings, reviews, and reporting cycles.

Reporting and documentation

• Maintain reliable records of commercial activity, transaction status, and partner interactions.
• Prepare recurring internal reporting on portfolio carbon intensity performance, market trends, and program economics.
• Contribute to thought leadership and marketing collateral connected to environmental markets and biofuel programs when required.

What success looks like

• Commercial projects advance steadily, with ownership, timeline visibility, and risks tracked clearly.
• Financial and carbon intensity models remain current, sound, and defensible as the market evolves.
• The Business Development Manager and partner-facing teams receive polished, complete, and well-organized materials that help them present credibly in external meetings.
• The team stays ahead of regulatory and market changes affecting biofuel economics, clean fuel incentives, and carbon market mechanics.
• Commercial records, transaction histories, and portfolio performance data remain structured and easy to access.

• Excellent attention to detail and a history of producing accurate, structured work.
• Self-driven approach with the habit of identifying and escalating issues early.

Preferred background

• Understanding of biofuel production economics, ethanol supply chains, or U.S. row crops such as corn and soybeans.
• Management consulting experience, including Big 4 or restructuring/advisory work in the biofuel industry, with analytical workstream ownership.
