What They Do
Gridmatic is a private AI-enabled power marketing company that specializes in optimizing renewable energy and battery storage operations through advanced machine learning algorithms. Founded in 2016, the company focuses on forecasting energy supply, demand, pricing, and grid transactions in key U.S. markets such as ERCOT (Texas) and CAISO (California) (source: cience.com, gridmatic.com). Their core technology leverages AI and machine learning models to predict electricity market dynamics, which helps optimize operations for renewable energy generators, battery storage systems, and retail energy consumers. This innovative approach allows Gridmatic to differentiate itself from traditional power marketers that rely on manual processes (source: gridmatic.com, gridmatic.com). The company offers a range of products and services, including bid optimization for storage owners, revenue-sharing agreements, and retail energy contracts tailored for large energy users like data centers (source: gridmatic.com, gridmaticretail.com).
Projects & Track Record
Gridmatic has successfully managed several notable projects, including a 50 MW / 100 MWh battery storage system in Texas, which became operational in 2023 through its $50 million Energy Storage Fund (source: gridmatic.com). Another significant project is the 57 MW / 114 MWh Cross Trails Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Scurry County, Texas, which has a 10-year offtake agreement with Energy Vault, with construction expected to start following a recent announcement (source: ess-news.com). Additionally, Gridmatic is involved in the 100 MW / 400 MWh Caballero BESS in Nipomo, California, where it serves as the optimizer for Alpha Omega Power, and has signed a 10 MW solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) in ERCOT with Sol Systems to provide hourly-matched clean energy for EdgeConneX data centers (source: gridmatic.com). These projects highlight Gridmatic's commitment to expanding its footprint in the renewable energy sector.
Recent Developments
In the past two years, Gridmatic has made significant strides, including the closure of its $50 million Energy Storage Fund in November 2023, which enables the operation of the 50 MW Texas battery and aims to manage up to 500 MW in total (source: gridmatic.com). The company also signed a 10 MW ERCOT solar PPA with Sol Systems for EdgeConneX in 2024 and secured a 10-year offtake for Energy Vault's 57 MW Cross Trails BESS (source: gridmatic.com). Furthermore, Gridmatic partnered with Alpha Omega Power as the optimizer for their 100 MW Caballero BESS, which was announced in December 2024, thereby boosting its portfolio to 300 MW (source: ess-news.com). The company also launched Gridmatic Retail in October 2024, focusing on growth in Texas and expanding into PJM markets.
Working There
Gridmatic employs a diverse range of professionals, including researchers, engineers, data scientists, and energy veterans, all contributing to its innovative approach in the energy sector. The leadership team includes CEO & Founder Matt Wytock, Chief Commercial Officer David Miller, and CFO Erin Kogan, among others (source: gridmatic.com). The company culture emphasizes teamwork, continuous learning, diversity, and integrity, fostering a collaborative environment that values work-life balance. Hiring is primarily centered at its Cupertino headquarters, supporting growth in ERCOT, CAISO, and PJM markets (source: climatebase.org). While specific benefits are not publicly detailed, Gridmatic's status as a ClimateTech startup in the Bay Area suggests competitive perks aligned with its mission-driven ethos.

Job Description
We are looking for a Corporate Finance Associate/Sr Associate to join the team and help build the financial infrastructure that supports Gridmatic's growth. You will report to Head of Finance and work directly with leadership on capital strategy, investor relations, and the financial planning that underpins our market operations. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role. You will be building the models, preparing the materials, having direct impact on decision-making.
What You'll Do
Corporate Modeling & Financial Planning
- Build, maintain, and continuously improve the corporate financial model - covering P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, and scenario analysis.
- Translate operational and market assumptions into financial projections that inform executive and board-level decisions.
- Own the integrity of the model: version control, documentation, and systematic stress-testing against market conditions.
Investor Relations & Capital Raising
- Support debt and equity fundraising processes end-to-end - from data room preparation and financial modeling to management presentation and term sheet review.
- Develop and maintain company collateral including pitch decks, investor memos, and one-pagers that clearly communicate Gridmatic's differentiation and financial profile.
Capital Allocation Strategy
- Drive capital allocation analysis across business lines, helping prioritize investments in trading infrastructure, energy retail business expansion, and wholesale strategy.
- Prepare materials for internal capital reviews and strategic planning cycles, synthesizing quantitative analysis with clear narrative.
- Build frameworks to evaluate risk-adjusted returns on deployed capital across diverse business lines.
Collateral, Credit & Treasury
- Manage and optimize the company's collateral posting obligations across counterparties and market operators - including ISOs, utilities, and banks.
- Track credit exposure, monitor margin requirements, and ensure adequate liquidity for day-to-day trading operations.
- Liaise with counterparties on credit documentation and support negotiations on collateral terms.
Strategic Outlook & Special Projects
- Partner with leadership on long-range strategic planning, including market entry analysis, competitive benchmarking, and business model evolution.
- Evaluate strategic opportunities such as partnerships, acquisitions, or new product lines using a rigorous financial and operational lens.
- Support leadership reporting with crisp, well-structured analysis that distills complexity into clear recommendations.
What We're Looking For
- 3-6 years of experience in investment banking, corporate development, private equity, infrastructure finance, or a high-growth company finance function.
- Expert-level financial modeling skills - can build a three-statement model from scratch and defend every assumption in it.
- Strong analytical skills. Can distill complex concepts into structured analysis.
- Familiarity with credit and collateral mechanics in financial markets; energy or commodity markets experience is a significant plus.
- Experience supporting or leading fundraising processes, including managing data rooms and interfacing with investors or lenders.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills. Can deliver well-structured presentations and recommendations.
- Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward action. We are not a process-heavy organization; you will need to set your own structure.
- Quantitative background preferred. Python or SQL skills are useful but not required - we care more about clear thinking than specific tools.
Nice to Have
- Experience in energy, power markets, cleantech, or adjacent industries.
- Exposure to project finance, structured credit, or asset-backed financing structures.
- Prior work in a small, fast-moving company where you wore many hats.
- CFA charterholder or candidate.
