The Policy & Advocacy Analyst will support the planning, production and launch of flagship IGU reports, as well as the design and production of advocacy material (data, case-studies & key messages).

The role will directly support the Director of Strategy & Advocacy.

Key Responsibilities:

Support development and publication of IGU flagship reports (Global Gas Report, LNG Report, Wholesale Gas Price Survey) and well as ad-hoc, tailored research papers on thematic or regional aspects of the global gas industry.

Collaborate to develop and refine IGU policy positions, including collating third-party input and support. Liaison with IGU members and other supportive associations on policy advocacy activities, strategies, and messaging.

Monitor key industry developments and latest research, including analysis and internal dissemination of key implications, take-aways and the potential for use in future advocacy or external outreach.

Qualifications and Experience:

Excellent communication skills and the maturity to initiate, develop and maintain strong relationships with – often senior – industry leaders.

Superb command of the English language – particularly written – is imperative, as is the candidate’s ability to proofread and understand geopolitical & multicultural nuances.

Comfort working with energy industry data & research reports, as well as the ability to source, understand & interpret charts and graphs which highlight key aspects of energy markets.

Self-starter & team player.
