• Write industry-leading research reports regarding trends, vendors and strategies across the energy storage landscape.
• Collaborate with peers across Wood Mackenzie to support research reports, data services, advisory services and conferences (set agenda, recruit speakers, moderate and present).
• Author multiple reports per year and actively develop visibility for this research and Wood Mackenzie through press, social media, and elsewhere.
• Work directly with sales and marketing via internal and external communications to actively help generate new sales, build larger engagements for existing clients, and effectively market completed research.
• Present at Wood Mackenzie-sponsored and industry-related events, and moderate client webinars.
• Establish an industry presence as an influential speaker and thinker; build relationships with senior industry professionals (vendors and utilities) as well as with the journalists who cover the sector and participate in vendor briefings and press inquiries as necessary.

• Ability to communicate effectively with stakeholders, clients, and industry partners.
• Entrepreneurial spirit and a constant desire to innovate. A deep intellectual curiosity about the effect of technology on the evolution of the energy landscape.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.  A strong record of academic achievement: B.A. or B.S. minimum; M.S. or M.E. preferred. Engineering background is a plus.
