To succeed in this role, you will have a genuine passion and enthusiasm for data and quantitative methods alongside a genuine appreciation of the importance of data. In this role you will be focused on ensuring the data used in our research and analysis is sourced, stored, modelled and visualized to the highest possible standards whilst also helping build our new generation of client-facing tools. You will need to be well-developed on quantitative and qualitative analysis skills along with a particular interest in critically analyzing complex subjects.

BNEF Ethos:

To succeed at BNEF we need people who can work in an independent manner and show initiative to develop their own viewpoints yet be collaborative with colleagues. 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 outstanding perspectives our clients really value.

We'll trust you to:

• Collaborating with colleagues to complete foundational tools and data structuring initiatives for setting up country-level gas supply/demand dynamics

• Strengthening the existing analysis by growing BNEF's Europe coverage area and linking it to the team's modeling workflow

• Working on ad hoc data-related projects to meet client expectations

• Contributing quantitative insights and expertise to the work of the team and providing expertise and input to ongoing research

• Assisting with process mapping alongside ongoing process refinement and improvement initiatives

You'll need to have:

• Curiosity and ability quickly understand, distil and work with sophisticated topics and data sets

• Strong understanding of data and statistical methods such as regressions, correlations and time-series analysis

• A track record of thinking critically and developing well-structured and thoughtful analysis by cutting through the noise of data, extracting key patterns, applying scepticism and challenging conventional wisdom

• Proven and tangible expertise in crafting, refining and improving existing Python code to a high standard combined with the ability to efficiently write new code

• Advanced and well-developed Excel skills

• PowerBI knowledge

• Well-developed communication skills with the ability to understand user-requirements and to quickly turn these into new scripts and models adopted by the analyst team
