Economist, Macro and Industry Outlooks

Join us in this role where you’ll track evolving macroeconomic trends, data, and advise senior leaders on the critical implications for our renewable energy portfolio design and investment strategy. In this newly created role, you'll analyse a range of key macro value drivers shaping the economy and energy systems across our current and potential countries of operation, incl. interest rates, inflation, foreign exchange rates, and broader demand environment, and help disseminate the insights across our organisation.

Welcome to Portfolio
You’ll be part of Macro and Market Outlooks team where you, together with your colleagues, will support our leadership teams to realise our vision and strategy through the design and execution of our investment portfolio. We seek to maximise enterprise value through the optimal deployment of our capital and resources, while balancing financing and wider constraints. We guide the practical realisation of these objectives, incl. reviewing our development projects to ensure robust value creation and strategic alignment.

As a team, we collaborate with internal stakeholders, including colleagues in our Strategic Portfolio Management, Market and Investment Support, Finance, Risk and Trading functions, to distil and disseminate key insights relating the external environment and their implications for our organisation. As a team, we are curious, questioning, and able to cope with complexity and ambiguity. You will be closely supported and mentored by our chief economist to develop your analytical and strategic advisory skills, and to develop the systems and processes required to support the execution of the function going forward.

You’ll play an important role in:

• following macroeconomic developments, policies, and regulatory changes, collecting and analysing intelligence from internal and external sources
• collecting, interpreting, analysing, and disseminating macro-economic data spanning our key operating and growth countries
• analysing and communicating key macroeconomic trends and issues impacting the future of renewable energies to key decision makers and stakeholders
• summarising main insights, driving dialogue with regulatory, market, finance, and other subject matter experts across our global organisation
• preparing macroeconomic forecasts and macro scenario evaluations.

To succeed in the role, you:

• are analytical and skilled in handling large amount of information and uncertainties, with the ability to translate macro data into organisational insights
• communicate and manage stakeholders effectively, can work well with teams across cultures and geographies, and find creative ways to communicate complex information effectively
• possess excellent problem-solving skills and have a proactive, pragmatic, innovative, and creative mindset
• have a collaborative approach and enjoy bringing together skills and insights from diverse teams
• have experience working with European macro data, energy demand analytics, macro scenario evaluation, or infrastructure and industry economics
• have a master’s degree in business, economics, engineering, or other quantitative discipline.

Maybe you’ve read the above and can see you have some transferable skills, even though they don’t quite match all the points. If you think you can bring something to the team, we still encourage you to apply.
