Aurora Energy Research

Stockholm, Sweden

Join the management of our Stockholm-based Advisory team and shape client decisions that accelerate the energy transition across the Nordics & Baltics, leveraging Aurora’s AI-enabled toolkit. You will lead advisory projects at the forefront of the power-market transition - shaping investment and strategy on renewables business models, storage (from batteries to new technologies), market design, and load growth from data centres.

Reporting directly to the Head of Nordics & Baltics, you will help develop our Advisory strategy, influence service development, and build a successful team with a strong culture and efficient operational processes. You will leverage your external profile via conference and press activities, and also collaborate with our software teams to productise insights.

The successful applicant will be a proven team leader with a strong track record, a business development mindset, and excellent communication and relationship-management skills, paired with energy market/policy expertise and strong analytical capability.

Key Responsibilities

• Leadership: You will deliver Advisory projects by leading and coaching associates, analysts, and modellers, developing capability and performance in line with Aurora’s values. You will have line management responsibilities for 4-5 team members.
• Project delivery: You will build a clear understanding of our client’s business and expectations, scope projects, and manage delivery to time and budget. You will oversee multiple project teams, guiding teams and clients through critical phases. You will ensure delivery meets clients’ expectations by selecting the analytical approach, leading complex problem-solving, and ensuring high-quality quantitative analysis and clear narratives. The analysis is underpinned by top-in-class fundamental market and dispatch models, with AI applied where it strengthens insight and speed. Projects will range from commercial due diligence on energy assets and companies to market entry strategies and other strategic engagements.
• Developing new business: You will build and deepen client relationships as a trusted advisor, win new projects, and collaborate with internal stakeholders to respond to inbound RfPs. You will travel 3-6 times a year across the Nordics, Baltics, Germany or the UK.
• Thought leadership: You will develop thought leadership on current power market topics such as renewables, storage, electrification, powering computing demand, and market design. You will develop your external profile through Aurora conferences across Europe, external events, podcasts, and webinars.
