Job Description
We are looking for a Principal Analyst to join the Grid Edge research team within Wood Mackenzie’s Power & Renewables practice.
The Grid Edge team consists of leading analysts covering some of the most cutting-edge topics in the energy transition, including transportation and building electrification, microgrids, distributed energy resource participation in wholesale and retail markets, demand flexibility, and grid modernization. Our research and thought leadership inform the strategies of key players throughout the energy industry, driving innovative business models while hastening the energy transition.
The analyst will lead the Grid Edge team’s coverage of utility and grid modernization. This ranges from utility investment in advanced technologies, to the vendors of the solutions they procure, to the approaches utilities are taking to deal with unprecedented growth in data centers and other large loads. The analyst will establish and maintain relationships with utilities, grid operators, grid technology providers, DER and data center developers and others, staying at the forefront of industry developments. Through hands-on research and the management of others on the Grid Edge team, they will publish reports, develop and maintain data sets, and provide critical intelligence that informs the strategies of utilities, technology developers, and other power sector stakeholders.
Experience in utility strategy or operations is beneficial for the role, but the core qualifications are exceptional research, writing, and speaking skills. You must be someone who thrives on writing and editing high-quality reports, with a knack for gathering and then distilling significant amounts of information into focused, actionable insights.
