Aurora’s mission is to provide data-driven intelligence to support the energy transition. To support this mission, we are looking for a (Senior) Analyst to join our Global Energy Markets team in Austin, Texas. The Global Energy Markets team produces Aurora’s central outlook and scenarios for the development of gas, oil, and coal markets, which underpin Aurora’s analysis of power markets.
