The Role
Opportunities like these are rare. This is the ideal career move for individuals with relevant industry experience who want to make the most of their talent and take it to new heights. Working as part of a regional team you'll be responsible for the production and development of quality research and analysis.
The vast natural resources of the Former Soviet Union mean companies cannot afford to ignore the region. Years of under-investment in both the upstream and midstream are now creating numerous opportunities for foreign investors of all sizes. Although many companies have been deterred by the political and fiscal instability that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union, the situation is now improving. However, state control of infrastructure and distribution networks is still tight, and upstream activities are monitored carefully to ensure maximum value is delivered. Nevertheless, investors who understand the local culture and operate to international standards are proving highly successful.
Your responsibilities will include
Researching and collating information, either by telephone or face-to-face meetings with key contacts in your region. This could be on particular assets, markets or companies with an emphasis on the commercial and financial aspects of the energy sector.
Reviewing, prioritising and analysing the data and information which you gather and using it to produce quantitative and qualitative in-depth reviews and updates of the highest quality.
Drawing upon your expertise to make a real contribution to the development and production of the energy subscription products for the region – and the team from day one. Your work will focus on different countries and issues each quarter, giving you real scope to demonstrate your expertise.
Making a real and valid contribution to the team with your ideas, enthusiasm and commitment to excellence.
