The Role
We’re looking for an Economic and Data Analyst to deliver purposeful analysis across client accounts, to inform industry decision-making, strategy development, and investment working in Talan’s Strategy and Energy Consulting Team. Based in Birmingham and London, the Strategy and Energy Consulting team consists of around 50 dynamic policy analysts, economists, consultants and project managers passionate about tackling climate change and making an impact for our clients.
This is a fast‑paced consulting role for analytically strong individuals who want to shape low‑carbon policy and investment decisions. From day one you will be placed at the heart of the energy transition, working across hydrogen, heat pumps, biofuels, and a range of other low-carbon technologies, developing your profile as a low‑carbon expert with a holistic understanding of technological and policy opportunities, challenges, and limitations. You’ll be trusted to apply economic judgement, not just technical analysis, in shaping recommendations for clients.
This will be underpinned by your ability to create evidence‑based numerical analysis and communicate it to key industry decision makers (including MPs, CEOs, managing directors and boards). Previous analysis has been used by senior leadership to drive decisions in both public and private organisation, quoted by MPs and Ministers in debates in Parliament, has shaped new policies and has featured widely across leading news outlets.
Currently, the energy industry is undergoing a generational transition to decarbonise, which brings unprecedented challenge and opportunity. This has kickstarted discussions regarding the optimum pathway to a net zero future. Your work will inform and support the delivery of that transition.
What you’ll gain
- Direct exposure to senior policymakers, industry leaders, and board‑level decision‑makers
- The opportunity to see your analysis influence real‑world policy and investment decisions.
- Contribution to the development of Talan’s data capabilities and infrastructure
- Structured development as both an economist, data analyst and a trusted client advisor. You’ll receive hands‑on coaching from experienced consultants, regular feedback on your analytical and consulting skills, and clear progression criteria as you develop towards senior consulting roles.
Responsibilities
The role will require the completion of varied assignments working with industry and government clients to shape low carbon energy policy and analyse the costs and benefits of the net zero transition. You will work within project teams to deliver client outcomes. This will include a likely mix of project and retainer account work.
