Energy Analyst

The International Energy Agency (IEA) seeks energy analysts to conduct quantitative and qualitative analysis of global, regional, and country-level energy trends and policies. The role involves contributing to high-profile thematic publications and collaborating with policymakers to develop energy strategies and policies.

Responsibilities

• Undertake quantitative and qualitative analysis of energy trends and policies at the global, regional and country level.
• Carry out analytical work on assessing the status, costs, prospects and potential of technologies in the electricity and energy sectors, as well as in end-use sectors.
• Work with policy makers to collaboratively develop analysis, strategies, and policies to support goals in the field of energy.
• Provide the Secretariat with insights and updates concerning the status of technologies, progress in the field, innovation, and R&D priorities.
• Co-author and contribute to relevant IEA outputs, including project reports, web content, training material, presentations, and input to other IEA products.
• Seek opportunities to attract funding from like-minded partners.
• Coordinate the Secretariat support with relevant stakeholders and partners. Foster their interaction and collaboration with the IEA’s committees and standing groups.
• Collaborate with relevant colleagues across the Agency in support of the broader IEA efforts and strengthen IEA engagement with other collaborative platforms.
• Promote the work of the IEA externally to a wide range of audiences through organising and participating in workshops, making presentations, and holding bi-lateral meetings.
• Participate in preparations for meetings of IEA standing committees, working parties and other groups as required; participate in relevant meetings of other international organisations; provide support for the development of reports, analyses and information items for these meetings.
• Maintain contacts with members of national delegations, other international organisations, representatives of industry, and other institutions involved in energy market assessments.

Requirements

• An advanced university degree in physical sciences, engineering, economics, energy policy, political science or other relevant disciplines.
• A minimum of three, preferably five years of professional experience in the field of energy, including a good understanding of energy policies.
• Experience working with committees or international partnerships, facilitating dialogue and building consensus would be an asset.
• Experience in government energy policy development would be an asset.
• Excellent understanding of the energy sector and of energy technology research and innovation.
• Proven analytical experience and strong drafting skills, as demonstrated by past work (publications, reports, quantitative analysis, operative models and/or published papers).
• Demonstrated ability to digest, interpret, and evaluate energy policy information, connecting policy information into usable variables that can be used to compare across geographies and be used to calibrate analysis and modelling, with the ability to write cogently on key energy topics and the role of policy in that context.
• Demonstrated capability to plan and manage projects and prepare reports on technical issues suitable for a more general policy audience.
• Interest in or ability to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies to improve work processes, analysis and productivity is an asset.
• Ability to work effectively in an international environment and collaborate respectfully and tactfully with colleagues from different backgrounds and perspectives.
• An excellent written and oral command of English. Good knowledge of other language(s) would be an asset.
