BloombergNEF (BNEF) is seeking a talented and highly motivated individual to join our commodities team as a weather risk analyst. To succeed in this role you will have a genuine passion for understanding the impact of weather on the transition, and want to be at the forefront of this exciting industry. You naturally form original opinions, and have an exceptional ability to communicate these to your audience via robust, defendable and well-structured analysis. You will have strong quantitative and qualitative analysis skills along with a particular aptitude for critically analysing complex subjects. 
 
BNEF is a strategic research provider covering global commodity markets and the disruptive technologies driving the transition to a low-carbon economy.
