We are proud to be a part of the Verisk family of companies! 

At the heart of what we do is help clients manage risk. Verisk (Nasdaq: VRSK) provides data and insights to our customers in insurance, energy and the financial services markets so they can make faster and more informed decisions.   

Our global team uses AI, machine learning, automation, and other emerging technologies to collect and analyze billions of records. We provide advanced decision-support to prevent credit, lending, and cyber risks. In addition, we monitor and advise companies on complex global matters such as climate change, catastrophes, and geopolitical issues.  

But why we do our work is what sets us apart. It stems from a commitment to making the world better, safer and stronger.  

It’s the reason Verisk is part of the UN Global Compact sustainability initiative. It’s why we made a commitment to balancing 100 percent of our carbon emissions. It’s the aim of our “returnship” program for experienced professionals rejoining the workforce after time away. And, it’s what drives our annual Innovation Day, where we identify our next first-to-market innovations to solve our customers’ problems.   

At its core, Verisk uses data to minimize risk and maximize value. But far bigger, is why we do what we do. 

At Verisk you can build an exciting career with meaningful work; create positive and lasting impact on business; and find the support, coaching, and training you need to advance your career. We have received the Great Place to Work® Certification for the fifth consecutive year. We’ve been recognized by Forbes as a World’s Best Employer and a Best Employer for Women, testaments to our culture of engagement and the value we place on an inclusive and diverse workforce.  Verisk’s Statement on Racial Equity and Diversity supports our commitment to these values and affecting positive and lasting change in the communities where we live and work.  

We are looking for a Research Associate to join Wood Mackenzie’s Power and Renewables Research team, covering Europe, Middle East, Africa, Russia and the Caspian regions. The Power and Renewables Research Team forms part of our Energy Transition Practice and is a highly respected group of analysts producing market-leading research across the value chain, covering power markets, onshore and offshore wind, solar PV and energy storage. Our cutting-edge knowledge of power market dynamics combined with our understanding of renewable power supply chains, costs, deployments, and investment trends enables Wood Mackenzie to support our client’s commercial and strategic decisions amid a period of unprecedented change for the energy industry.

The role will provide analytical, research and modelling support to subject matter experts across our power, solar and wind teams, providing an excellent opportunity to develop a broad and deep understanding of power and renewable market dynamics across the region. Key responsibilities will include the gathering, compiling and structuring of industry data; analysing data to identify market trends and produce robust forecasts; writing reports and presenting our research to clients. You will also need to work with other parts of research and with our sales, marketing and consulting teams to support the ongoing commercial success of the practice.

Closing Date for Applications: Sunday 14th March 2021.

You have exceptional analytical/quantitative skills, and an eye for detail. You are a strong team player with excellent problem-solving abilities. Experience of modelling (operational research, optimisation modelling, or experience with python for instance) and advanced Excel functionality would be beneficial. You have strong written and verbal communication. Some experience/knowledge of energy markets and/or the broader energy transition, developed in a commercial or strategy environment, or during your academic studies would be an advantage.

But this is an entry-level role – if you can demonstrate that you have an appropriate, transferable skill set, and a passion for our area of work, then we’d love to hear from you.

You must have the legal right to work in the UK for this role.
