Position Overview

Eurasia Group is looking for a skilled and motivated Analyst to join its Global Environment & Sustainability Practice, focusing on climate policy. The Analyst will play a key role in advancing Eurasia Group's coverage of policies and regulations such as the CSRD, CSDDD, the broader EU Green Deal agenda, the IRA, and climate-related duty of vigilance (DoV) laws.

The ideal candidate should have a graduate degree and at least three years of experience in relevant research and advisory roles, with demonstrated expertise in analyzing climate-related risks and opportunities across various industries.

We require a candidate who is comfortable with a fast-moving, changing, small-company environment; someone who can deal with ambiguity and a lack of formal structures. We need someone who is low-ego, a team player, and someone who focuses on solving problems.

The Analyst could be based in Mexico City or Nairobi.
