Aurora's mission is to provide data-driven intelligence to support the energy transition. To support this mission, we are looking for a (Senior) Analyst to join our Global Energy Markets team in Austin, Texas. The Global Energy Markets team produces Aurora's central outlook and scenarios for the development of gas, oil, and coal markets, which underpin Aurora's analysis of power markets.
The successful candidate will focus on US, Canadian, and Mexican commodities markets, in addition to broader analysis of global markets, with a focus on generation fuels, especially natural gas. You will play a critical role in all aspects of product delivery and development, as well as client engagement, and represent the company externally. You will generate research in North American commodities markets, deliver existing publications, conduct novel analysis, identify client business opportunities, and develop new services. Although the role is based in our Research team, the successful candidate will also play a role in supporting projects undertaken in our Advisory team - which in the past has included transactions and strategic advisory assignments.
This is an exciting opportunity for experienced analysts or consultants from top-tier strategic or economic consultancies, energy companies, financial services companies, or knowledge-driven firms or institutions. Prior experience in natural gas is essential. You will report to the Austin-based Global Energy Markets product manager and work within Aurora's larger Research team, spread across multiple offices.
  • Generate Aurora's research in North American natural gas markets and work closely with Aurora's commodities modelling and various North American power teams to develop regular market forecasts and novel analysis.
  • Produce regular reports on North American and global gas, oil, and coal markets to support Aurora's commodities forecasts.

  • Coordinate with other teams in the company across global offices and keep colleagues and senior stakeholders informed of developments in North America.
  • Develop timely and rigorous quantitative analyses to enhance clients' decision making, e.g. in supporting financial transactions for energy assets.
  • Contribute to Aurora's product development by identifying new opportunities for intellectually interesting and commercially relevant areas of analysis and helping to expand our capabilities, subscription base, and impact.
Required attributes:
  • Up to three years of experience in energy commodities markets at an energy company, leading strategic or economic consultancy, energy trading house or brokerage, or financial services company
  • Experience and knowledge in US and Canadian natural gas markets
  • Demonstrated success in managing and delivering time-critical projects in team-oriented environments
  • Substantial experience delivering professional content to both senior internal stakeholders and external clients
  • Self-starter, entrepreneurial mindset, and desire to grow the business
  • Demonstrated ability to collect, analyze, and interpret complex quantitative data and information
  • Excellence in both written and spoken communication and collaborating with both technical and non-technical parties
  • Proficiency in relevant data and analysis tools, such as SQL, Power BI, and advanced Excel
A college degree is required with evidence of strong academic performance in:
  • A quantitative subject (e.g. Math, Economics, Physics, Engineering, Finance) and/or
  • A social science, environmental studies or a related field, coupled with an interest in quantitative analysis
Desirable attributes:
  • Knowledge of the US domestic coal marketย 
  • Experience in other natural gas, coal, oil, or refined product marketsย 
  • Familiarity with key financial metrics and economic principles (NPV, IRR, DCF)ย 
  • Experience with advanced data analytics e.g., ArcGIS, R, Python, GAMS, Matlabย 
  • Fluency in Spanish
We strongly encourage women and candidates from diverse backgrounds to apply. There is evidence that people from under-represented groups may be less likely to apply unless they meet virtually every selection criterion. We urge candidates who meet at least some of the criteria to consider applying, especially if you are passionate about climate, energy, economics, data analytics, software, strategy, or consulting - there's a role that'll fit you at Aurora.ย 
  • A competitive salary and benefits packageย 
  • The opportunity to substantially influence major decisions in the energy sectorย 
  • Direct engagement with clients through Aurora conferences, workshops, and webinarsย 
  • The opportunity to grow into a publicly visible industry expertย 
  • A fun, informal, collaborative, and international work cultureย 
  • A brand-new office space in the vibrant and culturally rich East Austin area.ย 
  • Access to the Aurora Academy, our training program offering a range of opportunities to develop your skillsย
