About The Position

The Energy & Infrastructure team works closely with Teneo’s Management Consulting division, creating opportunities for team members to work with leading companies, investors and governments globally on the most important issues impacting their leadership teams and boards, with a particular focus on seizing growth opportunities and managing the risks associated with decarbonisation. Provide strategic advice at the most senior levels of organisations, using our in-depth understanding of energy and infrastructure sector technology, economics and policy to support strategy, stakeholder communications, risk management, and access to and optimisation of capital. We leverage Teneo’s broader capabilities in strategic communications, financial advisory, risk and people advisory, alongside our strategic relationships with leading policy and clean technology advisors and our extensive network of senior advisors, to provide clients with perspectives and capabilities that extend beyond traditional management consulting.

We focus on excellence, camaraderie and client impact, while carefully managing hours to make this a fulfilling and sustainable career choice. We are hiring at both the Consultant and Senior Consultant levels for this opportunity. Candidates will be considered for the level that best aligns with their experience, skills and capabilities. The responsibilities and expectations calibrated accordingly. As a Consultant or Senior Consultant, you’ll be an accomplished and effective member of the Teneo Management Consulting team, playing an important role in delivering high-quality client work and contributing to development of the wider team. You will bring strong analytical, problem-solving and communication skills, alongside a genuine interest in the energy and infrastructure sectors. You will work closely with senior colleagues and clients to tackle complex strategic questions, taking ownership of defined areas of work and translating rigorous analysis into clear, practical recommendations. The role will serve leading companies and investors across energy and infrastructure on issues surrounding policy, technology and innovation, growth and financial strategy, with a particular focus on sustainability, decarbonisation and the energy transition. Typical clients include US and global utilities, independent power producers, renewable energy, energy storage and EV infrastructure businesses, equipment manufacturers, private equity firms, pension funds and other infrastructure investors.
