Associate - AI, Research & Innovation

Overview

Energy Impact Partners (EIP) is a global investment platform leading the transition to a sustainable energy future. EIP brings together entrepreneurs and some of the world's most forward-looking energy, real estate, and industrial companies to advance clean energy innovation. With over $4 billion in assets under management, EIP invests globally across venture, growth, and credit.

We're seeking an Associate to join our Research & Innovation group : the team at EIP responsible for the strategic platform bridging EIP's investment teams, LPs, and portfolio companies. This cross-functional AI-focused role will support our grid operations, built environment, distributed energy resources, and industrial sectors. Within these domains, this role will develop deep market insights and apply them to : A) support our investment deal flow for AI-specific companies; B) assist our strategic LPs in understanding and applying AI technologies; and C) accelerate commercialization for our AI-focused portfolio companies.

This is an opportunity to work on a growing focus area in an established firm driving innovation and resilience across the energy ecosystem. EIP is committed to the professional growth of its team members through continuous learning and mentorship, ensuring that responsibilities and challenges increase as you gain experience. We're looking for an insatiably curious, analytically minded market researcher, who's able to manage multiple workstreams and draw insights across an ecosystem spanning startup engineers and corporate finance.

While many firms chase generic AI opportunities, few focus on industrial operations and energy resilience. Our Research & Innovation team is why we are the preferred capital source for both startups and established firms in the energy ecosystem. This position will be based in Atlanta, though there will be considerations for applicants in New York City.
