Job description

Be the knowledge engine behind the energy transition.

Mint Selection is expanding our Market Intelligence function, and we’re looking for an ambitious, curious individual to build and lead this evolving part of the business.

Who We Are

Mint Selection is a specialist executive search and talent advisory firm dedicated exclusively to building businesses in the global energy transition.

Founded in 2016, we’ve spent nearly a decade partnering with the most forward‑thinking organisations in the sector — from pioneering developers and institutional investors to global utilities and clean‑tech innovators.

We’ve supported more than 150 businesses across Europe and beyond, helping them scale internationally, launch new platforms, and secure transformational leadership.

Every successful business is built on three ingredients: Strategy, People, and Investment. Our mission is to make sure our clients get the People part absolutely right — and to do that, data and market intelligence are critical. This role sits at the heart of that mission.

Purpose of the Role

To stand out in this ever‑growing sector, Mint strives to stay at the forefront of knowledge.

This role exists to own the Market Pulse — tracking, analysing, and interpreting developments across the energy transition so our teams and clients stay ahead of market shifts.

By connecting external intelligence with internal performance, you’ll become the fountain of knowledge within the firm. Your work will equip our consultants with insight, credibility, and confidence whilst shaping Mint’s strategic direction and commercial edge.

What We’re Looking For

You’ll already work within the energy transition ecosystem, ideally in a market intelligence, analytics, research, or data‑led role. You bring curiosity, commercial awareness, and the confidence to have an instant impact—quickly understanding our world, identifying what matters, and helping Mint stay two steps ahead.

Key attributes

• Data‑driven, analytical, and precise, with strong attention to detail
• Ambitious, self‑motivated, and comfortable leading projects independently
• Naturally curious and efficient, with a proactive mindset
• Genuine interest in renewable energy and the energy transition
• Tech‑savvy (Excel, AI tools, data visualisation, or similar)
• Creative with strong writing and communication skills
• Degree preferred but not essential; additional languages a plus

Core Responsibilities

• Market Insight & Intelligence: Own the Market Pulse — monitor trends, policy shifts, and company movements; engage with media, clients, and industry bodies to keep our knowledge cutting‑edge.
• Knowledge Sharing & Enablement: Translate data and developments into meaningful insights, training, and briefings that empower our consultants and strengthen client conversations.
• Systems & Data: Build and refine company maps, trackers, and internal tools to ensure our intelligence remains accurate, structured, and actionable.
• Commercial Impact: Link insights to performance — identifying opportunities, supporting strategic campaigns, and helping the business stay ahead of the market.

Opportunities to Broaden Your Impact

You’ll also gain exposure to a variety of projects across the business, including:

• Content Creation: Turning insights into articles, visual maps, and whitepapers that showcase our expertise.
• Marketing & Brand: Supporting campaigns, SEO tracking, and digital touch points to enhance Mint’s external presence.
• Client Development: Assisting with strategic updates, market‑led campaigns, and client engagement initiatives.
• Consultant Enablement: Helping shape personal branding, training, and workflow optimisation.
• Data & Reporting: Supporting company‑wide tracking, analysis, and reporting improvements.

Why Join Us

This is a rare opportunity to shape a function that sits at the heart of Mint’s growth.

You’ll have the autonomy to lead projects, explore creative outlets, and take full ownership of this side of the business — think “Q” from James Bond, but for systems, data, and business intelligence.

You’ll join a dynamic, collaborative team with clear progression to management as we continue to scale across Europe’s clean energy landscape.

It’s a role for someone who thrives on curiosity, connection, and commercial impact— and who wants to make a visible difference in one of the most important industries of our time.

Interested?
