Energy Aspects has a new and exciting opportunity for a Senior Carbon Markets Analyst to join our growing research team, based in New York. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Markets Analyst, with knowledge and understanding of North American carbon markets, to join an award-winning and rapidly growing energy research consultancy and assist with the ongoing development and delivery of our carbon market product offerings.

As a passionate Carbon Markets Analyst, you will play a key role in our Emissions service, closely following and anticipating the curve of North American carbon market developments.

You will work closely across our Research teams, collaborating to decipher different aspects of the North American markets (particularly California, Washington, New York and the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative).

Our clients value our views and insights, so you will be shaping forward-looking views and not just conducting historical analysis. You are expected to continuously work to develop the products, improve our processes, and enhance the breadth and depth of our available data sources.

All team members are encouraged to build their professional reputation within the industry and are supported by some of the most well-regarded energy and emissions sector commentators.
