We are a small and global distributed team looking forward to expanding.

What you’ll do:

• Lead research for the transportation, mobility, and logistics sectors. This research will involve engaging innovators, incumbents, investors and a diverse group of participants across the ecosystem to understand and analyze the role of innovation in a complex market evolving to become more sustainable.
• Be a thought leader in transportation mobility – develop unique perspectives and represent company in related press discussions and at external conferences.
• Qualitative analysis on global market drivers, challenges, opportunities, activity and trends. Topics include (but are not limited to) electrification, mobility services, logistics & supply chain, sustainable aviation, maritime shipping and hydrogen.
• Develop, write and publish research insights. Research methodology includes primary interviews with industry stakeholders as well as secondary research.
• As the subject matter expert, support the consulting team to develop strategies for energy utilities, energy majors, automakers, suppliers, institutional investors and governments to engage external innovation.

• A natural passion for and interest in  transportation and logistics innovation.
• An ability to engage a wide variety of people and organizations in conversations about innovation, industry disruption and strategy.
• Understanding of industry and incumbent dynamics – how leading companies need to adjust to a changing transportation landscape and what drives them to engage innovative solutions. Understanding of the challenges industry incumbents face as they follow their own net-zero strategies and adapt to disruption.
• A passion to learn and engage with challenging questions.

As part of our team we expect you will also have

• A minimum of 3 years’ experience working in subscription-based research, consulting, corporate strategy, a startup or other relevant experience.
