Job description

Research Analyst, Warsaw

Department: Research

Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time

Location: Warsaw, Poland

Compensation: zł113,450 / year

Description

Joining our Warsaw team, you will contribute to the company's work by developing analyses and conveying insights to enhance clients' decision making. This means forming hypotheses, conducting analyses, modelling and explaining power markets, and synthesizing conclusions into recommendations. In doing so, you will help to guide utilities, investors, and the government through the fundamental transition of the Polish, Czech and Slovak power markets, facing a rapid move away from coal towards renewables and batteries. There will be opportunities to present your results in meetings and workshops.

The successful applicant will combine strong quantitative ability with a track record of performance in team-oriented environments. You will work in a dynamic, intellectually stimulating, yet supportive environment. You will enjoy autonomy, the opportunity to substantially influence major decisions in the energy sector, and to grow into an industry expert under the guidance of leaders with deep experience in the market. Warsaw is a gateway for Aurora to various European markets, offering exciting opportunities to work on international projects, particularly in Central Eastern Europe, primarily focused on Poland and with some exposure to Czechia and Slovakia.

The position suits a recent graduate of a Bachelor's or Master's programme or a person with hands-on experience within the energy sector, consulting or research. The exact entry position will be dependent on experience and educational level. Unfortunately, we cannot consider applications that do not fulfil the language requirements for this role; we encourage applicants who do not speak Polish in addition to English to apply for other roles at Aurora.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop timely and rigorous quantitative analyses to enhance clients' decision making
• Work closely with our modelling team, structuring economic problems into quantifiable analyses and deriving insights from the model results
• Engage with clients to thoroughly understand their requirements
• Communicate findings to clients, turning analysis to insight by creating compelling presentations
• Contribute to Aurora's product development, by identifying new opportunities and expanding our capabilities
