You’ll analyze trends and opportunities across the energy storage landscape—including battery energy storage systems (BESS), long-duration energy storage (LDES), and grid-scale applications. You’ll build the tools and proprietary market models and decision tools, and collaborate with developers, utilities, investors, and regulators to deliver strategic insights.

You’ll bring a deep understanding of the energy storage ecosystem—from cell manufacturing to project deployment—and a passion for translating data into strategic recommendations. You should be comfortable using AI tools and basic coding to enhance workflows and modeling.

You will be part of the firm’s think tank for innovation and decision support across the energy storage value chain. We help business leaders and policymakers solve critical challenges to accelerate the global clean energy transition.

Working closely with our global network of energy experts, you’ll help shape client strategies with data-backed perspectives on technologies, market outlooks, value pools, and optimization opportunities across geographies.

You’ll join one of our hubs—Munich, Amsterdam —as part of the broader Battery Accelerator Team, with 250+ members.
