About the Role

The Analyst will conduct research and quantitative analysis using in-house models and other tools to design and analyze policy scenarios, interpret results, and share findings with stakeholders, focusing on supporting philanthropic organizations' grantmaking strategies. The role involves producing succinct written and visual communications materials.

Responsibilities

• Modify and run energy and climate models, including the Energy Policy Simulator (EPS), by designing, implementing, and running policy scenarios, finding and transforming data, calibrating scenarios, and adjusting model inputs.
• Assist in maintaining and contributing to the EPS, identifying bugs, proposing fixes, learning Vensim, and potentially implementing new features.
• Support the development of other models (e.g., spreadsheet, Vensim, GCAM) for energy and climate scenario analysis.
• Use AI agents to conduct research and develop quantitative models for research projects.
• Perform advanced data analysis on large datasets to identify trends and inform policy scenarios.
• Develop structured workflows to improve analytical processes.
• Synthesize and interpret model findings clearly, producing partner-facing reports, presentations, or graphics.
• Identify and utilize publicly available databases and research reports containing relevant economic, energy, and environmental data.
• Fill data gaps through original research.
• Answer questions about the energy and industrial system, energy and economic policy, and societal impacts clearly and succinctly, using appropriate models or data sets with clear citations.
• Conduct in-depth research on legislation, regulation, and the emissions impact of global climate and energy policy opportunities.
• Independently analyze data from various sources and translate language into settings for model use.
• Respond to short-term research requests from external partners.
• Communicate and present findings through presentations, reports, and memos to external partners and internal teams.
• Incorporate feedback and support clear and concise messaging of results for internal and external audiences.
• Maintain thorough documentation of analysis methods and results using established best practices.
• Demonstrate sensitivity to the political implications of researched topics and their presentation.
• Apply advanced understanding of energy models and systems, policy design, and quantitative methods to strengthen analysis rigor.
• Understand established and emerging clean energy technologies and their relevance for stakeholder analysis.
• Troubleshoot technical issues in modeling tools and apply advanced statistical or computational techniques to support analysis.
• Support data and policy research projects by contributing to project plans and executing key tasks.
• Assist with project coordination and help maintain alignment with team priorities.
• Work with the team and external partners to answer key policy research questions.
• Support and, in some cases, lead stakeholder relationships with key partners.
• Proactively collaborate with internal and external partners to ensure research results are presented in a clear and consistent frame.
• Conduct timely technical reviews of communication materials such as board dockets and presentations.

• Strong understanding of the fundamentals of scientific and technical subject matter relating to environmental systems, energy technologies, policy design, and implementation.
• Experience with mathematical calculations for physical systems, including energy conversions and mass balances.
• Ability to apply statistical, economic, and computational concepts—including advanced statistical or computational techniques—to quantitative analysis.
• Expert proficiency with AI agents for quantitative research and modeling.
• Expert proficiency with Microsoft Excel (data sets, data analysis).
• Aptitude to construct clear visual presentations of complex data.
• Knowledge of politics related to climate.
• Interest in and familiarity with international politics and policy.

About the Company

• Climate change is governed by physical facts—about carbon sources, accumulation, impacts, and timing. It’s also caused by economic and political systems that have led to a fossil fuel dependent energy system. These facts must inform strategy: they show that avoiding dangerous climate change is only possible through strong policy to cut carbon, promptly, in the biggest countries.
• To address these issues, Energy Innovation was established in 2012 as a clean energy and environmental policy firm to provide timely research and analysis on low-carbon energy policy options to policy makers, thought leaders, and members of the media.
• The Energy Innovation team has expertise in clean energy, industry, transportation, buildings, technological innovation, and energy policy design.
• In addition to conducting policy research, Energy Innovation also works with clients to inform philanthropic investments into technology and advocacy that help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
• Energy Innovation operates from two office locations in San Francisco, CA and Washington, DC.
• Employees based in those areas work from the office one to three days per week.
• We support a hybrid work environment and bring the full team together in person one to two times per year for organization-wide collaboration.
