About the position

Based in Tokyo, Japan, you will contribute to the firm, by developing analysis and conveying insights to enhance clients’ decision-making as they navigate the energy transition. You will be part of a fast-growing team that will be the Japan “start-up” within the broader APAC team.

Successful candidates will work in a dynamic, intellectually stimulating, and demanding yet supportive environment. They will enjoy autonomy, the opportunity to substantially influence major decisions in the energy sector, and to grow into industry experts under the guidance of directors with deep experience addressing major strategic issues at the world’s leading advisory firms.

The position suits a recent STEM graduate of a bachelor’s or master’s programme.
