BloombergNEF North America Research Team Leader

BloombergNEF (BNEF) is seeking a highly talented, motivated individual to serve as North America Team Leader (NA TL), a senior role leading our US and Canada research efforts based out of New York City. The appropriate candidate will have a deep interest in virtually every facet of North American energy, including power markets, renewables, carbon markets, demand response, gas production/distribution, large-scale data centers, industrial energy use and transportation. The candidate will have significant (10 years+) experience in at least one of these areas.

The NA TL will be charged with implementing BNEF’s overall research strategy for the US and Canada by working across multiple teams to coordinate output. They will appreciate deep dives into the wide array of federal, regional, state and occasionally even local energy policies critical to the region’s energy sector. The best candidate will relish connecting dots between various market segments and relevant policies to draw conclusions about the market’s overall direction. They will embrace the chance to build and motivate teams by fostering the growth of analysts to their maximum potential.

The NA TL will have direct oversight of a small team of analysts focused specifically on US and Canadian markets and regulatory developments broadly. They will also have “dotted-line” oversight of a larger group of analysts from BNEF teams focused on renewables, energy storage, power markets. They will serve as a leading spokesperson for BNEF in North America, regularly presenting the group’s research at conferences and in media appearances.
