Opportunity Overview
Handshake is looking for experienced power markets and energy trading professionals to support AI research through flexible, part-time contract work. This is not a traditional job — you'll draw on your hands-on expertise in power market analysis, price forecasting, and PPA development to produce expert-level data and analytical outputs that help build AI training environments for the energy industry.
This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside your current work.
What You'll Do
• Apply your professional expertise to independently produce real analytical work outputs — such as power market price forecast models and PPA documentation — in a structured, project-based format
• Use tools like Salesforce, AVEVA PI, and Bloomberg to complete tasks the way you would in your day-to-day role
• Deliver expert-level work that forms the foundation of AI training datasets for energy industry applications
• Complete tasks at your own pace with no set schedule or minimum hour requirement
Qualifications
• 2+ years of professional experience in power markets or energy trading, in a role such as:
• Power Market Analyst
• Power Trader
• Energy Trading Analyst
• Ability to independently produce work using:
• Salesforce
• AVEVA PI
• Bloomberg
• Hands-on experience with workflows such as power market price forecast modeling and PPA development and negotiation
• Bachelor's degree or higher required
• Strong written communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment
