Job Description

We’re a team of friends bound together by a mission to preserve our planet for future generations through innovative energy solutions and modern infrastructure. Intersect develops, constructs, and operates the most ambitious power and data center infrastructure in the country by co-locating industrial demand with dedicated gas and renewable power generation.

Intersect was acquired by Google in March 2026 and operates as an independent subsidiary. We are developing and constructing multiple gigawatts of energy and data center projects in the U.S., enabling more data center and generation capacity to come online faster. We’re on an aggressive growth trajectory and looking for people hungry to tackle the largest energy challenges on the planet.

Location & Team Gatherings

Intersect has been a fully flexible workplace since its founding in 2016. We’ve been very intentional about the way we do things. We are not work-from-home, hybrid, or in-office - we are any and all of those options! Deepening social connections and offering shared experiences is a cornerstone of the way we work. We connect as a team at our Team Week experiences four times a year and at our recently established Hub locations - SF Bay Area, NYC Metro Area, NY; Denver, CO; Austin, TX; Calgary, AB; and Toronto, ON.

We are currently looking for candidates located within 60 miles of any of the listed hubs to foster more in-person connections while maintaining our flexible remote culture.

About this role

As a Natural Gas Scheduler / Cash Trader on Intersect's Origination and Trading team, you'll manage daily physical next-day and intra-day cash trading alongside underlying pipeline nominations and logistics. In this remote, dual-function role, you'll balance physical positions and partner closely with the broader trading team to optimize pipeline transport capacity, storage, and fuel supply across regional hubs.

You will serve as the commercial and operational execution engine for our natural gas desk, ensuring seamless alignment between trade capture, EBB pipeline schedules, and back-office settlement. Your active management of Operational Flow Orders (OFOs), imbalance cash-outs, and market inefficiencies will directly protect portfolio margins and drive long-run value.

Team overview

This team plays a critical role in advancing Intersect's mission to accelerate the clean energy transition by managing complex power and fuel portfolios with commercial rigor. The Origination and Trading team acts as the central engine for risk management, physical asset optimization, and market execution across power and thermal markets. Joining this team means shaping resilient commercial strategies, managing daily physical exposure, and driving long-term value in a dynamic, high-growth environment.

What you'll do

Pipeline Nominations and Logistics Operations

• Submit timely accurate Timely, Evening, Intraday, and ID3 nominations across interstate and intrastate pipeline Electronic Bulletin Boards (EBBs).
• Monitor pipeline maintenance, Operational Flow Orders (OFOs), and capacity constraints, adjusting flows dynamically to prevent cuts or penalties.

Drive Portfolio Asset Optimization and Imbalance Control

• Monetize pipeline transportation capacity, storage injections/withdrawals, and park-and-loan allocations to maximize net portfolio value.
• Track daily pipeline imbalances, line pack, and cash-out provisions to minimize financial risk and eliminate operational penalties.

Ensure Systems Integration and Cross-Functional Alignment

• Capture all trades, transport contracts, and scheduled volumes accurately in the ETRM system in real time.
• Collaborate with back-office accounting and Market Risk teams to resolve transport invoice discrepancies, commodity bills, perform monthly true-ups, and maintain strict FERC/CFTC/NAESB compliance.

What you'll bring

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Business Administration, Engineering, or a quantitative field.
• 3+ years of experience in physical natural gas scheduling, with at least 1 year actively executing intra-day/next-day physical gas trades.
• Strong physical natural gas scheduling experience on any pipeline network is required, with deep operational familiarity on NNG and NGPL being a strong plus.
• Operational experience with ETRM platforms, trade capture workflows, pipeline imbalance management, and transport settlement reconciliation.
• Availability to participate in a rotating weekend and evening on-call schedule to manage weekend gas flows, emergency OFO announcements, and pipeline cuts.
• Composure under tight operational deadlines, acute attention to detail, and a proactive, ownership-driven mindset.
• Alignment with Intersect's core values: Equity, Humility, Authenticity, Long-run Value, and People Come First.
