Senior Business Analyst- Business Specialist

POWER YOUR GREATNESS

Pacifi Corp is seeking customer‑centric candidates to grow and sustain our commitment to a culture of customer service excellence, environmental sustainability, inclusion and belonging.

This role operates at the intersection of operational data, financial integrity, and market participation – transforming energy measurements (megawatt‑hours) into validated, settlement‑ready data that supports billing, regulatory compliance, and business decisions. The position analyzes, validates, and translates interval meter data {5,15,60 ‑ minute} across Meter Data Management (MDM) and settlement platforms into actionable insights and defensible financial outcomes. These capabilities apply across networked utility industries—including electric, natural gas, and water – where accurate, time‑based measurement data is critical to operations and revenue.

In electric markets such as CAISO’s Extended Day‑Ahead Market (EDAM), the role ensures settlement‑quality data (SQMD) aligns with approved plans, market timelines, and submission requirements. More broadly, it supports the MDM settlement lifecycle, where field measurements are validated, estimated, and aggregated to enable downstream settlements, billing, and reporting.

The successful candidate works across systems and teams to reconcile discrepancies, interpret complex configurations (e.g., resource hierarchies, aggregation rules, power flow paths), and maintain end‑to‑end data integrity. The role applies strong analytical and systems thinking to identify anomalies, perform root cause analysis, and implement scalable solutions that improve data quality and process reliability. Responsibilities include aligning data with evolving market rules, contracts, and regulatory requirements, while translating insights into sustainable workflows and system enhancements.

The position partners closely with operations, engineering, IT, and finance to communicate data integrity findings, support audits and data requests, and drive process improvements that enhance automation, transparency, and accuracy.

This position is being posted at multiple levels. Once a selection is made the team will determine which level to offer based on selected candidates education, experience and skill set.

Responsibilities of the Senior Business Analyst include the following:

• Perform and/or own daily validation, editing, and estimation (VEE) of Settlement Quality Meter Data (SQMD) for EDAM resources, with a focus on assigned meter populations (e.g., ELAP, third‑party load, or generation resources), ensuring accuracy and completeness prior to submission to CAISO MRI‑S. Serve as a trained backup for full‑scope VEE execution to support operational redundancy and continuity of submission timelines (T+9, T+55, monthly).
• Monitor and reconcile third‑party load and generation SQMD submissions, including Scheduling Coordinator‑submitted data, against Pacifi Corp‑calculated values to identify configuration changes, data discrepancies, and potential settlement impacts.
• Validate MRI‑S pullback data from third‑party Scheduling Coordinators by comparing CAISO‑returned values to Joules calculations, Day‑Ahead bids (CMRI data), and internal meter/source‑system records.
• Perform recurring VEE and source‑meter review for third‑party load meters, including validation of MV90, IEE, and related EAS schedule inputs used in Joules load calculations.
• Monitor third‑party SQMD configurations and submitted values for uncommunicated changes, coordinating with internal stakeholders and third‑party Scheduling Coordinators to resolve discrepancies and maintain alignment with approved SQMD plans.
• Research and analyze complex data.
• Conduct analysis through research, gathering, and interpretation of data.
• Present analysis and recommendations to management and implement selected alternative.
• Maintain and validate data impacting financial results, including reconciliation of NSL loads, borderline invoices, and PACE Joules borderline meter‑data calculations against applicable transmission invoicing.
• Validate California Independent System Operator - Extended Day Ahead Market (EDAM) generation, interties and load resources, ensuring adherence to SQMD plans. Validate meter data submissions to MRI‑S for EDAM
• Execute meter data completeness checks, identify anomalies, and perform
