Our clients range from leading power developers, utilities, integrated energy companies, technology companies, regulators, governments, energy-intensive industrials, and investors. We will continue leveraging our extensive regional experience, capabilities, and synergies with other S&P Global teams, including electric power and fuels research teams, to deliver an aggressive growth plan over the next three years.

Lead client meetings, attend to all client needs, and deliver final consulting reports/presentations
Closely coordinate with our world class research service in Europe to understand current research themes that will resonate with consulting clients interested in power procurement, risk management, and power supply decarbonization. Liaise with the Energy Transition and S&P Global Sustainability-1 teams to offer integrated procurement/climate solutions
Work within the Power Consulting team to identify and focus on consulting engagements that build capabilities, qualifications, brand, and interest internally with the team
Build consensus across groups with competing priorities within the project team
Efficiently review analysis and modelling efforts done by other Teams or project team members and provide feedback for improvement as it relates to industry power procurement processes and buying decisions
Understand when learnings in consulting projects are relevant for the European power research service
Support positioning S&P Global and our team as the go-to consultancy for power, energy transition and key transactional projects in the region
Some travel is required on average around 20% of the time (but could occasionally be more)

**What We’re Looking For**:
6-8 years of experience, preferably in consulting and necessarily in industry (e.g., tech, heavy industry, retail), with several years of experience buying power, managing procurements risks, and contributing to company decarbonization strategies / scope 2 emissions reductions
Having a professional network with European clean energy buyers (e.g., through activities in a professional association) would be highly desirable
Knowledge of instruments such as power purchases agreements and clean certificates is required
Demonstrated, basic project management and business development skills are required
Minimum qualifications are Bachelor’s degree in business, economics, engineering, mathematics, or related field
Strong written and oral presentation skills in English and knowledge/capabilities in several European languages preferred
Must have an analytical frame of mind and be prepared to use data to back up opinions
Understanding of power dispatch and demand modelling, including understanding of third-party power dispatch software, such as Plexos and Aurora is preferred
Ability to work well in a team-oriented environment, influencing stakeholders, providing ideas and open feedback
**The Location**: Paris, London, or Madrid preferred
