About the Role

This role is for high-performing professionals from top-tier advisory firms with existing knowledge of the gas and LNG business who wish to convert their strategy toolkit into recognised sector expertise without giving up the pace, rigour or client seniority they have been used to. As a Principal in the EMEA Gas & LNG team, you will lead delivery of commercial and strategic consulting engagements, translating client questions into structured, evidence-based answers, and those structured answers into lasting client relationships.

Responsibilities

Own workstreams from day one, running analysis, shaping the narrative and presenting to senior client stakeholders.
Rapidly build a high-value specialism in Gas and LNG.
Receive full access to Wood Mackenzie’s proprietary data and IP, and the people and processes behind it.
Progress quickly, transparently and based upon merit, with a clear path for progression to Director.
Manage and coach a team of highly skilled consultants.
Gain direct exposure to the company’s leadership and help shape new offerings and intellectual property.
Receive global exposure, working for clients and on projects across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, with the possibility to be part of cross-border mandates with the Americas and APAC teams.
Enjoy a genuine work-life balance.
Lead the delivery of consulting assignments and support wider business development activities.
Structure project plans, hypotheses and storyboards for client deliverables.
Coordinate internal experts (research analysts, data analysts, subject-matter specialists).
Select the right analytical frameworks, tools and proprietary Wood Mackenzie data and analysis for each assignment.
Ensure findings are rigorous, well-evidenced and directly aligned to client priorities.
Manage timelines, budgets and stakeholder communication to commercial standards.
Develop a genuine and current command of the gas and LNG sector across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and global markets.
Coach and mentor a team of consultants, helping them to bring structured problem-solving discipline and clear communication to a specialist and data-rich environment.
Collaborate with adjacent sector teams to deliver integrated, cross-value-chain perspectives.
Help convert client conversations and open-ended questions into well-scoped proposals, contributing directly to business growth.
Uphold Wood Mackenzie's consulting methodology and quality standards across every engagement.

Requirements

A bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline (business, economics, finance, statistics, engineering or similar); a master's degree or MBA is a plus.
At least 8 years of total professional experience, including meaningful time at a top-tier strategy / management consulting firm or a comparable energy-focused advisory firm.
An energy sector background, including some exposure to gas and LNG (this could be prior consulting casework, an in-house strategy role at an energy company, or relevant technical/commercial experience), and genuine interest in further building deep gas and LNG expertise.
Strong structured problem-solving and quantitative analysis skills, honed through rigorous casework or equivalent commercial experience.
A track record of managing workstreams or projects, and of building trust quickly with senior stakeholders.
Sharp client-facing communication (comfortable in distilling complex analysis into a clear point of view for a senior audience).
Intellectual curiosity and the appetite to become a credible, go-to voice on gas and LNG topics quickly.
Existing relationships or connections with clients across the EMEA energy market are highly valued, alongside a proven or emerging track record of commercial acumen.
Additional language skills are a plus, though not required.
