Commercial Analyst

Flywheel Energy is a growth-oriented operator active across the Mid-Continent, Eagle Ford, Fayetteville, and Piceance basins—with plans to expand into additional plays. We’re looking for a Commercial Analyst who can turn market data and operational complexity into clear, quantified insights that shape how we trade, hedge, move molecules, and evaluate new opportunities.

This is not a back-office reporting seat. You’ll sit at the intersection of our Commercial, Finance, and Operations teams, with regular exposure to senior leadership and a direct line of sight to the decisions your work informs—from daily realized-pricing calls to multi-basin acquisition screens.

• Analyze commodity pricing, basis differentials, and regional market trends to support trading and marketing strategy across multiple basins
• Build and maintain models for revenue forecasting, hedge analysis, and realized pricing performance; own the integrity of the numbers leadership relies on
• Support the evaluation and execution of hedging strategies, including tracking open positions, exposures, and mark-to-market performance

• Analyze gathering, processing, and transportation agreements to identify cost-saving and optimization opportunities across our operating areas
• Partner with Operations to optimize production flows, takeaway capacity utilization, and contract nomination strategies
• Track and report on key commercial metrics—realized vs. benchmark pricing, gathering costs per Mcfe, and processing margin capture

• Assist in acquisition modeling by developing commercial assumptions, building scenario analyses, and supporting integration planning for new assets
• Develop dashboards and self-service reporting tools that give leadership timely, actionable visibility into commercial performance
• Ensure data integrity and consistency across commercial, financial, and operational systems

• Within 30 days: You own the weekly realized-pricing report end-to-end and can walk leadership through variances without prompting
• Within 90 days: You’ve built or meaningfully improved at least one forecasting or hedge-tracking model that replaces a manual process
• Within 6 months: Commercial and Operations teams come to you proactively for analysis because your work has demonstrably improved a pricing, cost, or contract outcome
• Ongoing: You challenge assumptions, flag risks before they materialize, and build tools that scale with the company—not just solve today’s problem

• Strong financial and quantitative modeling skills, including advanced Excel; experience with SQL, Python, or BI/visualization tools is a plus
• Working knowledge of commodity markets, basis dynamics, midstream contract structures, or energy economics
• Ability to synthesize complex, multi-variable data into clear recommendations—and to know when the data doesn’t support a conclusion
• Clear communicator who can present to senior leadership and collaborate effectively across Commercial, Finance, and Operations
• Self-starter who builds things without being asked and thrives in a fast-moving, scaling organization where ambiguity is the norm
• 2–5 years of experience in oil & gas, energy trading, investment banking, consulting, or a comparable analytical role; you’ve built models that informed real decisions
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field

• Multi-basin platform with active growth ambitions—your work directly shapes which opportunities we pursue and how we capture value
• Small, high-caliber team where your analysis reaches the decision-makers, not a middle layer
• Culture that rewards intellectual honesty, initiative, and people who would rather build the right answer than defend a convenient one
