Climate Action Network Europe is looking for a Gas Data Analyst (80%) with a strong policy focus
Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe is Europe’s largest coalition working on climate and energy issues. With over 200 member organisations in more than 40 countries – representing over 1700 NGO’s and more than 40 million citizens. CAN Europe works to prevent dangerous climate change and promote sustainable climate and energy policy in Europe.
We are currently seeking a highly motivated, dynamic and results-driven Data Analyst to join CAN Europe’s Energy Team in Brussels (80% work regime). This is a unique opportunity to apply data and policy analysis to change legal frameworks and contribute to CAN Europe’s mission in achieving fossil gas phase out from the EU’s energy system by 2035. In addition to a strong data analyst background, this role requires political awareness and strategic communications skills.
The successful candidate will demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the European energy sector and policies, in particular fossil gas phase out with a specific focus on the EU Methane Regulation (EUMR). You will have the ability to place the Regulation’s content into the wider fossil gas and energy policy spectrum including gas and hydrogen markets, LNG trading, energy and in particular electricity prices. You will have expertise in analytical packages such as Python, R or similar. Your work will feed directly into the policy and advocacy work of CAN Europe’s gas sub team, part of the energy team. You will work in close cooperation with CAN Europe’s Gas Policy Coordinator.
