- Help evolve our energy risk offering and contribute to broader climate risk projects across the company.
What We're Looking For
- Master's degree or PhD in Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, Engineering, Physics, or a related quantitative field.
- 3+ years of experience in risk modelling, quantitative analysis, or related disciplines.
- Strong knowledge of statistical modelling, uncertainty analysis, and probabilistic methods.
- Experience working with Python, R, or similar analytical tools.
- Understanding of the energy sector, particularly renewable energy, asset risk, portfolio management, or financial impacts.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to explain complex concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment with a high degree of autonomy.

- Structured feedback and mentorship programs
- A dog-friendly office
- Opportunities to work on cutting-edge climate risk solutions with global impact
Diversity & Inclusion
We're committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive. We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences.
This version is much more aligned with how modern climate-tech and science companies present roles on their websites. It focuses on impact, mission, and outcomes, while removing some of the internal-process wording that candidates generally don't care about. It will likely attract stronger applicants than the original draft. Based on the uploaded JD, I also removed a few repetitive points and tightened the requirements section.
