You will find yourself scraping the web, interviewing clients, and conducting surveys to name a few activities. You must be able to develop and apply frameworks for analysis and problem-solving. You need to have proven experience because we want to hear all about your ability to conduct market analysis, business and financial analysis, policy analysis, and data modelling ALL THROUGH Microsoft Excel. Talk about macros!!! If you have experience using quantitative analysis software systems – tell us about it.
The ideal candidate for this position will have experience in the carbon, energy access and energy policy market along with experience working with clients in the transport, agri, and built environments space.
