Company Description

Wood Mackenzie are the global research, analytics, and consultancy business powering the natural resources industry. For 50 years, we have been providing the quality data, analytics, and insights our customers rely on to inspire their decision making.

Our dedicated oil, gas & LNG, power & renewables, chemicals, metals & mining sector teams are located around the world and deliver a variety of projects based on our assessment and valuation of thousands of individual assets, companies, and economic indicators such as market supply, demand, and price trends.

We have over 1,900 employees in 30 locations, serving customers in nearly 80 countries. Together, we inspire and innovate the markets we serve - providing invaluable intelligence to help our customers overcome the toughest challenges, and make strategic decisions that will, ultimately, accelerate the world\'s transition to a more sustainable future.



Wood Mackenzie\'s Carbon Management group

This role will serve as part of Wood Mackenzie\'s CCUS research team, in the Carbon Management group. This is an excellent opportunity to join a strong, global team and make a major contribution to the energy transition.

The Carbon Management group is at the nexus of Wood Mackenzie\'s energy transition research, drawing upon multiple commodity areas. The group\'s work helps our customers understand market trends across several of the critical technologies and markets enabling the energy transition. Coverage in the group includes emissions, carbon markets, CCUS, abatement technologies, and scenario modelling.

The customers who buy our research span many commodities and value chains, and include industrial emitters, project developers, financiers, governments and technology providers.

In the CCUS team we build cost and valuation models, interpret policies, track market activity, assess CO2 storage potential, evaluate technologies and build deployment forecasts. We have launched the Lens CCUS analytics platform to help our customers make the best-informed decisions in this market.

Role purpose and responsibilities

This is a new role due to expansion of the team. There are four main areas of responsibility for the role:

Regional CCUS expert coverage

You will be responsible for covering the CCUS market in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region. You will integrate your analysis with the rest of the team deliverables, including insights on topics such as regional activity, technology development and policy evolution. There will be one or more categories of broad CCUS research, such as areas of policy, technology, or economics where you will be expected to spearhead Wood Mackenzie\'s research efforts on a global scale. You may also contribute to bespoke consulting projects on CCUS market activity.

Valuations and project economics

A key part of the role will be economic modelling of CCUS projects, to enable our customers to analyse and benchmark investments. This will involve understanding project costs, business models, revenue structures and fiscal terms. You will analyse and communicate qualitative and quantitative drivers for the strengths and weaknesses of each project.

Industry engagement

You will develop your own relationships with industry, financial, and government partners. This will be to establish a knowledge base to test assumptions on project and market specifics, as well as to represent Wood Mackenzie\'s CCUS research in a high-quality way to customers. As Senior Analyst, you will be expected to lead customer engagements and to represent the company at industry events.

Internal advisor and collaborator

You will become a go-to person within Wood Mackenzie to support internal stakeholders. Key internal collaborations are with our expert groups on subsurface, fiscal systems, energy transition scenarios and sectors to which CCUS is a potential abatement technology (upstream, LNG, refining, hydrogen, chemicals, power, and metals). As a Senior Analyst, you will be expected to positively contribute to team culture, for example by leading collaboration initiatives, reviewing others\' work and providing mentorship to developing analysts.

Qualifications

Knowledge, skills and experience requirement

  • 5+ years or distinguishing previous experience in carbon management, CCUS or CCUS-related sectors (e.g. oil and gas, power, chemicals, steel, hydrogen, cement),
  • Demonstrable experience in commercially driven roles or initiatives e.g. project or business development, energy economics or policy, commercial advisory/consulting.
  • Passionate, with a deep intellectual curiosity about the energy transition. Specifically, the impact of carbon capture and removal capability amid a wider, global business and policy landscape.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities. Skilled in using both qualitative and quantitative methods to answer market questions. Able to articulate your findings in a clear and insightful manner to senior audiences.
  • Self-driven. Capable of switching between the roles of an individual contributor, collaborator, and leader of pieces of work.
  • Committed to collaboration, thinking and acting in the collective interest, and developing yourself and others in the team.
  • Strong communication skills. Comfortable interacting with clients and industry stakeholders.
  • Capable of managing ambiguity; able to synthesize complexity into key themes and insights by being resourceful and persistent.
