Job Description:

Operations Consultant

 
PAY: $3,000 PER MONTH
LOCATION: REMOTE / HYBRID / OFFICE (IN BIRMINGHAM, AL)

WHO WE ARE:

HData delivers a technology platform that makes it easy for anyone in the U.S. energy industry to file, explore, analyze, and leverage regulatory data. With AI and automation, analysts can easily and accurately uncover the decision-making data they need in seconds instead of spending days sifting through thousands of pages of regulatory filings.

HData, a Techstars company based in Birmingham, AL, is open to working with qualified employees fully remotely, regardless of their location within the United States. 

ABOUT THE POSITION:

HData is seeking a contracted Operations Consultant to support the Operations & Finance Department by implementing a structure, establishing procedures, and managing routine tasks within Human Resources, Operations, and Finance. In this role, your responsibilities will include but are not limited to, invoicing and tracking renewals, policy development, implementing automations, handling one-off projects, and assisting other departments as needed. This role is expected to work 20 to 30 hours per week, keeping in mind that our department prioritizes results over hours worked though. Also, this role is contracted and has the opportunity to become a full-time role in 2026.

HData is a Techstars backed startup company delivering automated compliance, instant business intelligence, and AI for regulatory energy analysis across the U.S. regulated energy industry.

The HData Platform is the only SaaS solution that allows energy companies and their regulators to quickly and easily prepare their government filings while also instantly generating comparative analytics across hundreds of indicators and millions of data points. The platform turns research that used to take hours into seconds. Our demand is driven by a government mandate from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) which requires all energy companies to begin reporting electronically by December 2021.
