Wood Mackenzie was founded 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. In 1973, our equity analysts published the first oil report, and since then we have gone on to build out our global research and consultancy business alongside the needs of our customers.
Having cultivated deep expertise in upstream oil and gas, we carefully broadened our focus to deliver the same level of detailed insight for every interconnected sector of the energy, chemicals, metals, and mining, and the power and renewables industries we now serve around the world.
As a global research and consultancy business, we partner with organizations and governments to inspire better decision-making. For nearly 50 years, Wood Mackenzie has been providing quality data, analytics, and insights used to power the natural resources industry.
With dedicated oil, gas & LNG, power & renewables, chemicals, and metals & mining sector teams located around the world, we place intelligence at the heart of changing markets. And our quality research and consultancy are trusted to provide our customers with a first-mover advantage.
In 2015, we were acquired by Verisk, making us part of a global powerhouse in analytics solutions.
Every day, we work alongside some of the most inspiring people in our industry. Experts at the forefront of new ideas, technologies, and possibilities. This focus on human expertise – and our commitment to an inclusive culture – creates a work environment like no other.
The interview process at Wood Mackenzie includes multiple rounds of face-to-face interviews and some assignments related to the job.

We look beyond our offices, providing support to our neighboring communities and environments. Through our Community Engagement program, everyone in the business is given one day of paid leave each year to volunteer at a charity or give their time in other ways. We also provide matched fundraising of up to US$5,000 per employee per year and run multiple events with local charities to support them throughout the year. During the festive season, Wood Mackenzie employees are allowed to select charities that the company donates to on their behalf.
