[Hiring] Forensic Regulatory Data Analyst @UtiliSave LLC

Role Description

UtiliSave's forensic billing analysts find actionable savings in 94% of the accounts they audit — including clients who were previously reviewed by another firm and believed nothing remained. If you have the instincts to absorb complex rules, spot the flaw no one else noticed, and relentlessly pursue a claim you know is right, you will thrive here.

Join the team that has recovered over $700 million for large commercial and industrial clients across the U.S. and help us break through One Billion. The core talent this role demands is the ability to rapidly absorb and master detailed billing rules, tariff schedules, demand charge structures, rider provisions, regulatory codes, and client usage data — and then deploy that knowledge creatively to find refunds and savings others miss.

On a typical day, you might:

• Write a Python script to flag demand charge anomalies across 40 accounts in the morning.
• Draft a formal claim letter to a state utility commission in the afternoon.

This is an ideal entry-level role for someone who wants to become an expert in a rare, financially consequential discipline and to see that expertise translates directly into personal earnings.

What You Will Build Here

• 3–6 months: Generating your first confirmed refund claims on live client accounts, guided by senior analysts and our proprietary platform.
• 12–18 months: Independently managing a portfolio across multiple utility jurisdictions with a growing track record of recoveries.
• 24+ months: High performers advance to Senior Analyst, Practice Lead, or Client Relationship Manager — with expanded compensation and client ownership.

Responsibilities

• Apply analytical skills and general business knowledge to identify cost savings using UtiliSave's proprietary tools and those you help build in real time — then initiate action to recover those savings for clients.
• Rapidly absorb and master the billing rules, tariff schedules, demand calculations, rider provisions, tax codes, and regulatory frameworks across each client's utility jurisdictions — using that knowledge to uncover billing errors, misapplied rates, and overlooked credits.
• Conduct retroactive audits across the full statute of limitations — often six years or more — to maximize the recoverable amount on every client account.
• Interface with clients, utility companies, tax authorities, and regulatory agencies to implement savings.
• Develop novel but defensible claim theories going beyond standard audit playbooks by combining deep tariff knowledge with creative pattern recognition across billing history, meter data, and account classifications.
• Draft clear, persuasive written claim submissions, client summaries, and regulatory correspondence that make complex billing issues accessible to non-technical readers.
• Pivot quickly across accounts, jurisdictions, and claim types as opportunities surface, deadlines shift, or utility responses require a change in approach.
• Maintain meticulous records of all open claims, supporting data, utility correspondence, and recovery outcomes from identification through payment.
• Collaborate with our MIS group to build tools that improve account review and drive revenue.

Qualifications

• 1–3 years of experience — or equivalent academic, project, or internship work — demonstrating the ability to rapidly master complex rule-based systems.
• Undergraduate degree completed (or within six months of completion). STEM, economics, finance, regulatory affairs, or pre-law preferred.
• Proficiency in Python — used daily to extract, clean, and interrogate billing data and to automate anomaly detection across large client portfolios.
• Intellectually tenacious: pursue a well-founded claim until it is resolved.
• Creative and analytically precise: able to construct novel but technically sound claim theories.
• Strong written and oral communicator: persuasive claim letters, client reports, and regulatory filings.
• Comfortable with ambiguity: energized by complex utility tariff language.
• Agile: able to shift rapidly between accounts, jurisdictions, and issue types.
• Experience with a regulated public utility — especially in rate billing analysis or customer interaction — is a material advantage.
• Ability to prioritize and meet deadlines.

Requirements

• Full-time remote; core hours 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM Eastern Time.
• Must reside in the Eastern Time Zone or Central Time Zone (Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama).
• U.S. Citizens and active Green Card holders only. Visa sponsorship is not available.

Benefits

• Base: $40,000/year, increasing to $45,000 upon successful completion of auditing skills benchmarks.
• Monthly performance bonus beginning after onboarding completion: Successful established analysts regularly earn $1,000–$3,000+ per month in bonuses.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) with company match.
• 3 weeks PTO plus 11 paid holidays.
• Full-time remote.
