We help clients stay on top of developments across the energy sector, supported by the unique depth and breadth of our comprehensive BNEF platform.

We'll trust you to:

• Develop knowledge on software platforms and technologies being designed for use in industrial and consumer focused industries. Topics may include the industrial internet of things, machine learning, robotics and others.

• Understand how these technologies will impact industries such as energy, transport and manufacturing and quantify and forecast these business opportunities
• Monitor and record partnerships within the sector
• Collect and analyze quantitative information on technology costs
• Write and publish reports in English about technology and products globally, covering functionality, economic analysis, company profiling and market player strategies
• Engage with clients and industry figures regularly, through visiting their offices, speaking at conferences, attending working groups, presenting content to clients and prospects
• Work with colleagues to identify and highlight the potential impact of the technologies your team covers on the other topics that BNEF writes about

• Collaborate with a high degree of professionalism with colleagues and clients from different cultures and countries
• Develop a network of contacts in the industry in order to check assumptions, gather insights and get non-confidential information

You'll need to have:

• Already graduated with a Bachelor's degree or higher

• Degree in a quantitative subject like math, engineering, sciences, or computer science
• Confidence conducting both numerical and qualitative analysis
• Ability to think critically and develop thoughtful opinions by cutting through the noise of data, finding key patterns, applying judgment to the claims of industry participants and asking insightful questions
• Natural aptitude for graphically presenting data and writing clearly and concisely
• Ability to quickly understand, distill and communicate complex topics to non-specialist audiences
• Confidence in conducting research calls and communicating with senior industry contacts, early stage companies and academics
• Excellent time management skills and ability to work on multiple projects at once
