BloombergNEF (BNEF) is seeking a talented, highly motivated individual to join our wind analysis team in London and write new research on the transformation of the wind energy sector. Specifically, the successful candidate will undertake primary research and analysis on the offshore and onshore wind sector.

We don't rely on the status quo, we look for innovative yet pragmatic thinking that turns big ideas into real insights and impact. Working at BNEF sometimes feels chaotic; we need teams that are both dynamic and structured to generate the unique perspectives our clients really value. Our teams are diverse, creative, focused, and fun!

At BloombergNEF (BNEF), we help our clients gain a clear perspective on the technologies and financial, economic and policy trends driving the energy transformation. BNEF is online, on mobile and on the Terminal. We are a subscription service providing research and analysis to key stakeholders across the energy value chain.

  • Ability to distill and communicate complex topics to non-specialist audiences.
  • Good time management skills, initiative and ability to work on multiple projects at once.

We would love to see:
