Blunomy is an international strategic advisory firm, dedicated to accelerating the climate and environmental transition of its clients.

We have been operating since 2007, previously trading as Enea Consulting, and continue to expand our international team. Our high performing, multidisciplinary team of 100 is based across 6 offices: Melbourne, Sydney, Paris, Singapore, Hong Kong and London.

Our team is composed of business leaders coming from the industry (e.g. Isabelle Kocher de Leyritz, previous CEO of ENGIE, Sebastien Guillo, previous head of Strategy and Corporate Coverage at HSBC), long-lasting advisory professionals and transition experts (e.g energy resources, infrastructure, circularity, nature, carbon, impact).

What differentiates Blunomy in the market is its capacity to:

-        Connect Sustainability to business strategy and corporate financial value

-        Act as a strategic and operating partner to our clients. We position ourselves as clients’ partners rather than consultants.

-        Bring core and independent transition expertise coming from our 17-year track record on climate transition and our global network of experts

-        Develop tools and methodologies to scale the impact of our advisory work

We are looking for a passionate and engaging Principal to work primarily with Financial Institutions clients (Banks, diversified Asset Managers, Asset Owners) to join our team in Europe.

What we offer

·        A strategic advisory firm solely focused on Climate and Environmental transition with a passionate team at all levels of the organization. Being focused radically changes the level of expertise and knowledge we bring to our clients.

·        A senior team of former industry leaders that have led corporate transformation, focused on tangible results for our clients. This differentiates us radically from other advisory firms on the market.

·        A strong entrepreneurial culture where people are truly empowered to innovate, create new business streams and develop client relationships.

·        A very healthy culture with a strong attention to work-life balance. We provide flexibility, work-from-home policy and part-time contracts at all levels of seniority.
