Wood Mackenzie’s Carbon Research team aspires to enable clients across the energy value chain to understand and respond to market and portfolio-related climate risks and opportunities by providing comprehensive, decision-useful carbon data and analytics. Some of the services we provide include calculation and benchmarking of emissions across the full value chain of commodities, tracking and forecasting of carbon prices, and research and reporting on carbon markets.

The Carbon team is growing quickly as we help to drive the pace and scale of the energy transition and to serve different customer segments with integrated analysis. In the Carbon team we model greenhouse gas emissions across a number of different sectors and value chains, including oil and gas, metals and mined commodities. We support clients across the energy value chain to understand and respond to market and portfolio-related climate risks and opportunities by providing comprehensive, decision-useful carbon data and analytics. Some of the services we provide include calculation and benchmarking of emissions across the full value chain of commodities, tracking and forecasting of carbon prices, and research and reporting on carbon markets.

Role Purpose

This role will serve as part of Wood Mackenzie’s Carbon research team, and is global in its nature rather than being focused on a specific region. This is an excellent opportunity to join a strong, global team and make a major contribution to decarbonization and the energy transition at a global scale.

You work together with our other global Carbon team members and with other research teams to lead the expansion, improvement and calibration of hydrogen, ammonia and fertilizers emissions modelling and assumptions, to ensure we have strong and reliable data and outputs and remain at the leading edge of this critical analysis.

You will work with other research teams to develop a value-chain and corporate view of carbon emissions in the hydrogen, ammonia and fertilizers value chains, and to improve coverage of additional greenhouse gas emissions beyond carbon. You will also work with other teams to integrate carbon pricing assumptions into our models, to continue improving the assessment of assets’ and companies’ value at risk from carbon emissions.

Emissions data and modelling contributes to Wood Mackenzie’s Emissions Benchmarking Tool (EBT), Lens and numerous other tools and services; as such, you will become a go-to person to support internal stakeholders including other research and consulting teams. Importantly, you will also develop your own relationships with industry partners. This will be to establish a knowledge base to test assumptions on methodologies, as well as to represent Wood Mackenzie’s research in a high-quality way to customers.

Main Responsibilities

The Senior Analyst is expected to:

• Form and expand Wood Mackenzie’s view on GHG emissions in the hydrogen, ammonia and fertilizers and ensure the quality of data and methodologies development/alignment. Specifically, this includes developing a methodology for scope 1-2-3 emissions, and coordinating with internal stakeholders to ensure it is fit for purpose. It also includes developing a value chain and a corporate approach from cradle to grave, and correctly attribute emissions (also beyond carbon) to the relevant entities in the value chain.
• Collaborate effectively with colleagues in the Carbon team and others in research to establish best practice and consistency across all commodities for GHG emissions.
• Ensure our published GHG emissions datasets are of the highest quality. This will involve developing a framework for data sources and for benchmarking against public and corporate data and working with the research teams to make any required changes to models and methodologies.
• Develop insights, thought leadership pieces and other research to highlight interesting and relevant trends in hydrogen, ammonia and fertilizers value chains emissions.
• Improve carbon and emissions capability development within the team. This will include holding knowledge shares and ensuring it’s a priority in the work programme of each analyst/team.
• Be recognised internally, and increasingly externally, as an authority on hydrogen, ammonia and fertilizers GHG emissions in different parts of the value chain. Be comfortable challenging and being challenged and effective at adapting engagement style and tone to reflect counterparty approach. 
• Understand the competitive environment to identify threats and opportunities and work with the Head of Carbon and relevant product managers to develop plans to address them.

Knowledge and Experience Requirement

Our products and people are our intellectual capital, so we welcome and reward intellectual excellence, curiosity, and sophisticated thinking and look for:

• A good understanding of hydrogen, ammonia and fertilizers value chains and related production processes along with some experience in emissions assessment/calculation.
• An analytical mindset and an eye for detail, which has been proven in your academic and work experience to date. Ability to comfortably collect and interpret data and articulate your findings in a clear and insightful manner.
• Strong communication skills in written and verbal English are necessary. Must have a flair for conveying an interesting story around data, often working to tight deadlines. Must be comfortable interacting with clients and industry stakeholders across different time zones and as part of a global team.
• Ability to work independently, and as part of a global team, generating ideas you want to share. The way in which you work is productive and driven, striving to be best in class.
• Your long-term aspiration is to be an influential expert setting the industry agenda leveraging off data analytics. You are looking for a place where you can grow and learn from others in a collaborative, commercial and client-centric environment.
