Description & Requirements
BloombergNEF (BNEF) is seeking a highly motivated and experienced individual to lead our global analysis team covering the wind industry. You have a passion for clean energy and the transition to a low-carbon power system and want to help your dedicated team reach its full potential. You combine strong quantitative skills with a deep understanding of wind technology, clean energy financing, or energy transition analysis. You love to explain complex subjects and can constructively critique others’ analysis and edit written reports. Collaboration is important to you, and you understand how healthy debates inform solid conclusions!
At BNEF, we help our clients gain a clear perspective on the technologies and financial, economic, and policy trends driving the energy transformation. BNEF is online and on the Bloomberg Terminal. We are a subscription service providing research and analysis to key partners across the energy value chain. For more information about BNEF, go to bloomberg.com.
Our Team
You will be based in the Bloomberg office in London, working as part of a global research team at BloombergNEF (BNEF) – the world's leading independent provider of analysis, tools, data, and research to decision makers leading change across the energy system. Our data-driven research helps clients stay on top of developments in the energy sector, supported by the unique depth and breadth of the Bloomberg Terminal and bnef.com platforms.
BNEF Team Ethos
To succeed at BNEF we need people who can work in an independent manner and show initiative to develop their own viewpoints, yet be collaborative with colleagues. We don't rely on the status quo, we look for innovative yet pragmatic thinking that turns big ideas into real insights and impact. Working at BNEF sometimes feels chaotic; we need teams that are both dynamic and structured to generate the outstanding perspectives our clients really value. Our teams are diverse, creative, focused, and fun!

The Role
Wind is at the center of the energy transition. It provides an outstanding example of how governments and companies balance priorities across affordability, security, reliability, and sustainability. It is a technical field, developed by engineering design choices, location-specific resources, and increasingly sophisticated financing and market structures. It is also deeply interconnected with other parts of the energy transition including solar, storage, power markets, and industrial decarbonization.
BNEF produces expert analysis, tools, and datasets to support players in both onshore and offshore wind. This includes detailed installation forecasts, turbine price surveys, techno-economic models, operation and maintenance surveys, supply chain analysis, wind turbine contract rankings, asset financing and investment trends, auction assessments, and policy analysis.
In addition to setting BNEF’s wind research strategy and supporting the team in delivering high-quality research, you will play a key role in shaping BNEF’s wider clean power coverage. This involves regular collaboration with other analyst teams and divisions like Sales, Data, and Product. You will also play a key role in the buildout of new BNEF tools around clean power asset valuation and revenue as well as improvements to existing workflows.
We Will Trust You To
- Expand and shape BNEF’s global wind coverage, setting priorities and ensuring the highest analytical standards of key reports and datasets.
- Lead and develop a high-performing team with diverse skillsets, fostering a collaborative and coherent research unit.
- Become a leading authority on the wind sector, representing BNEF both internally and externally and staying on top of industry trends.
- Communicate insights clearly and persuasively through written reports, datasets and models, public presentations, and direct client interactions.
- Ensure the quality of BNEF’s wind analysis by checking the underlying analysis of the team and editing written reports.
- Work closely with Sales, Product, Data, and other analyst teams to help build a complete and balanced view of the current energy system and improve the services that BNEF provides.
