Senior Research Analyst - Upstream Oil and Gas at Wood Mackenzie Nigeria

Wood Mackenzie started life in 1923 as a small, relatively unknown, Edinburgh-based stockbroker. By the 1970s, we had become one of the top three stockbrokers in the UK, renowned for the quality of its equity research.

Our success has always been underpinned by the clear and simple principle of providing trusted research and advice that would make a difference to customers. This was true when the first oil report was published by our equity analysts in 1973, and remains just as relevant to us today.

We are recruiting to fill the position below:
