Jackson Parthasarathy - Graduate Analyst

Through analysis and insights based on leading modelling of energy markets, we support strategy, policy and investment decisions for a spectrum of energy market participants.

We’ve developed trusting relationships with hundreds of clients, including energy companies, investment funds, banks, network operators and governments.

Our success is built on a supportive team culture that helps talented people to develop their skills and expertise, excel in their work, and make a difference to the world.

Opportunities at Aurora

Have an impact on the global transition to a cleaner, more efficient energy system

In countries around the world, the energy system is decarbonising, decentralising and digitalising. At Aurora, you will help companies and governments make better decisions to navigate this transition by providing independent analysis and insights.

Your thinking will contribute to tackling some of the biggest energy challenges, including climate change, access to electricity, and the cost and security of energy supplies.

Apply and develop your problem-solving, communications and analytical skills
At Aurora, you will apply the skills you have developed through your studies to solving some of our clients’ most interesting and intricate problems.

Through a mix of structured training programmes and on-the-job learning, we will help you raise your abilities to the next level, preparing you to build trusting relationships with clients, develop new business opportunities, nurture teams and communicate complex ideas with crystal clarity.

Join a diverse, ambitious, friendly and supportive team

We’re committed to building a company where everyone can achieve their potential in an inclusive and welcoming environment. Aurora brings together people from over 30 countries around the world, and with a broad range of professional and life experiences. We seek to provide further support and opportunities for groups under-represented in the energy sector.

Help build a rapidly growing and innovative company

Founded in 2013, Aurora has grown rapidly to around 350 people but retains the entrepreneurial atmosphere of a start-up. We continue to seek opportunities from new markets, new modelling approaches and new ways of thinking. At Aurora, you will learn from leading experts on the energy markets, develop your own ideas and help map out the future course for our business.

Influence the public debate and inform the strategy of high-profile clients

At Aurora, you will contribute to reports for our clients, engage with them through consulting projects and subscriber meetings, and help us run conferences that regularly attract hundreds of delegates from across the energy sector. Aurora’s work has been influential in changing the course of policy decisions in our key markets.

Work with some of Europe’s most advanced energy system modelling

Our modelling team produces sophisticated and flexible proprietary forecasting of the energy market that sets us apart from other companies. As an analyst at Aurora, you will use the findings of the modelling team’s work to understand the energy system more clearly, in more depth, and with more impact.
