About the role
As a member of the EMEA Solutions team at Energy Exemplar, the focus of this role is to support our power trading customer base and prospects.

- Conduct market research and provide thought leadership on emerging trends in power trading, generating insights that can be shared with customers and at industry events.
- Develop original studies on power trading topics, starting with Energy Exemplar's simulation-ready datasets, and present findings in webinars and conferences.
This is a customer facing role, and therefore successful candidates will not only have strong modelling capabilities and domain expertise, but also have excellent communication skills, be outgoing, professional, driven and able to multi-task in a dynamic and often changing environment.
Our customers use our products to help shape the future of the energy industry, and as such this role offers the opportunity to work with cutting edge technologies, collaborate with key players in energy markets, and solve the most fundamental problems facing the energy sector today.
