Description & Requirements

BloombergNEF (BNEF) is seeking a talented, highly motivated individual to join our oil analysis team in New York to develop unique insights, data and analytical tools that help our clients navigate the opportunities and challenges across the sector.

BloombergNEF (BNEF) is a strategic research provider covering global commodity markets and the disruptive technologies driving the transition to a low-carbon economy. Our expert coverage assesses pathways for the power, transport, industry, buildings and agriculture sectors to adapt to the energy transition. We help commodity trading, corporate strategy, finance and policy professionals navigate change and generate opportunities. BNEF has over 250 staff based across the globe.

OUR TEAM:

You will be based in our New York office, working as part of the upstream oil research team, with colleagues primarily based in New York and London. Our work focuses on the fundamentals of global oil supply, including upstream costs, production outlooks, company strategy, investment trends and decline dynamics across key producing regions.

Our data-driven research helps clients stay ahead of developments in upstream oil markets, supported by the unique depth and breadth of the Bloomberg Terminal and BNEF platforms.

The upstream oil team works closely with oil markets, downstream oil, renewable fuels and broader commodity research teams to deliver integrated, market-facing analysis. The successful candidate will gain deep exposure to upstream oil fundamentals while understanding how supply dynamics interact with prices, policy, capital allocation and the energy transition.

Our team of experts translates complex technical and economic drivers into clear, strategic insights for industry leaders across oil and gas, finance, government and the wider energy ecosystem.

BNEF TEAM ETHOS:

To succeed at BNEF we need people who can work in an independent manner and show initiative to develop their own viewpoints, yet be collaborative with colleagues. We don't rely on the status quo, we look for innovative yet pragmatic thinking that turns big ideas into real insights and impact. Working at BNEF sometimes feels chaotic; we need teams that are both dynamic and structured to generate the unique perspectives our clients really value. Our teams are diverse, creative, focused, and fun!

What's the role?

This is a data-intensive role requiring confidence in building, maintaining and interpreting complex models and datasets related to upstream oil supply and costs. The successful candidate will contribute to regular research publications and develop their own areas of expertise, focusing on short- and medium-term trends shaping global upstream oil production and investment.

You will also work closely with commercial and client-facing teams to ensure that upstream oil research delivers clear value to Bloomberg and BNEF customers.

WE WILL TRUST YOU TO:

• Become an authority on upstream oil supply, working as part of a global team with colleagues and clients from different cultures

• Research and write about upstream oil fundamentals, including production, costs, decline rates, capital expenditure and project pipelines

• Analyze company activity, policy, regulatory and fiscal regimes and their implications for upstream investment and supply growth

• Develop and maintain datasets and analytical tools that strengthen BNEF's upstream oil capabilities

• Contribute to the team's recurring reports, including taking ownership of data updates or publications.

• Translate technical and economic analysis into clear, compelling insights for market-facing clients, engaging directly with them to support our research usage.

• Build a network of industry contacts and represent BNEF with senior stakeholders across industry, finance and policy

• Have fun working with experienced people on sophisticated and evolving energy topics

YOU'LL NEED TO HAVE:

• Outstanding communication skills in English, including clear and concise writing for research publications and confident verbal communication with clients and stakeholders

• Strong quantitative skills, with significant experience using Excel and comfort working with large datasets and economic models

• A Bachelor's degree in Economics, Finance, Engineering, Geology, Mathematics, Physics or another quantitative rigor

• The ability to think critically, form independent views and cut through large volumes of data and industry narratives

• A strong interest in data visualization and presenting sophisticated ideas clearly

• Proven track record to source information through both digital research and direct industry engagement

• Strong attention to detail and willingness to work hands-on with data, models and assumptions

• A dedication to inclusion and the ability to collaborate effectively with colleagues from varied backgrounds

WE'D LOVE TO SEE:

• Post-graduate qualifications or professional experience in petroleum engineering, geology, energy economics or a commodities-focused role

• Experience coding in Python (or a similar language) to support data collection, processing and analysis
