The broader function provides in-depth strategic and technical advice on strategy and business planning and analysis, corporate finance and corporate financial management, regulatory policy, cost assessment and benchmarking.

Their work combines elements of policy, finance, strategy and economics to assist their clients in structuring investments, securing financing, supporting regulatory regimes for the benefit of customers as well as maximising shareholder value.

  • The work will include a combination of report drafting, economic (including quantitative) analysis, and engaging with clients. As an Associate Director, you will be expected to manage teams and lead projects from inception through to completion.
  • You will manage, coach, and mentor more junior staff on across different projects, fostering a culture of innovation and excellence in the team.

The Person

  • A strategic thinker with the capability to provide fresh insights and innovative solutions to evolving industry challenges. A developed analytical skillset which you are keen to deploy and grow to bring innovative solutions to problems
  • Experienced in presenting to senior clients and will have excellent written and verbal communications skills.
  • An in-depth understanding of regulatory frameworks for utility companies, micro-economics, or regulatory finance (ideally all three).
