Director - Consulting

About the role

Wood Mackenzie is the global leader in analytics, insights and proprietary data across the entire energy and natural resources landscape. For over 50 years our work has guided the decisions of the world’s most influential energy producers, utilities companies, financial institutions and governments. Now, with the world’s energy system more complex and interconnected than ever before, sector-specific views are no longer enough. That’s why we’ve redefined what’s possible with Intelligence Connected. By fusing our unparalleled proprietary data with the sharpest analytical minds, all supercharged by Synoptic AI, we deliver a clear, interconnected view of the entire value chain. Our trusted team of 2,700 experts across 30 countries breaks siloes and connects industries, markets and regions across the globe. This empowers our customers to identify risk sooner, spot opportunities faster and recalibrate strategy with confidence – whether planning days, weeks, months or decades ahead. With ambitious growth goals over the next four to five years, WoodMac Supply Chain Consulting is an exciting place to continue one’s career. One of the most important aspects of our team’s success will be our expanded ability to build and maintain foundational relationships with our clients. For this to happen we’ll need a combination of our existing staff and new joiners to step up to the challenge of leading new customer engagements. These people will need to be familiar with the energy industry and supply chain and will be passionate about serving customers and developing the team. In your role as Director, you will inevitably have opportunity to forge and foster relationships with clients that will enable this growth. Under your leadership our projects teams will develop and deliver insights drawn from our unparalleled industry data and experience, increasing the likelihood that these new customer relationships will grow and even become the foundational clients of tomorrow. You will serve as the conduit between your project execution team and management and will supply observations and hypotheses needed to run the business and formulate business development strategies.

The ideal candidate will work in close proximity of one of our offices in Calgary, Houston, Boston, or New York and will be expected in the office 2‑3 days per week (hybrid role). This position does not provide visa sponsorship and precludes part‑time or flexible working arrangements.
