This is a great opportunity for someone who thrives in fast‑moving environments and loves turning complex information into clear advantages.

What You’ll Do

Purchase, sell, and structure energy and derivatives transactions across short‑term and intermediate markets, using a fundamentals‑driven approach to identify value.

Negotiate pricing and terms with strategic partners while ensuring compliance with policies, regulatory requirements, and defined risk parameters.

Apply advanced understanding of market dynamics, financial indicators, and trading techniques to solve complex problems and unlock commercial opportunities.

Partner with physical trading, origination, analytics, and risk teams to align derivatives activity with customer needs and broader commercial strategies.

Support demand forecasting, pricing strategy, and the development of customer‑focused risk‑management solutions.

Contribute to business planning by developing business cases, forecasting performance, and evaluating financial implications of key initiatives.

Help strengthen trading tools, analytics, and processes to improve efficiency, transparency, and decision‑making.

Serve as a subject‑matter expert by staying current on regulation and market best practices, sharing insights, and contributing to team capability development.

What You’ll Bring – Required

Strong understanding of market dynamics, pricing principles, and risk considerations relevant to energy and derivatives markets

Ability to analyze complex information, make sound commercial decisions, and execute with discipline

Proven collaboration skills with the ability to work effectively across teams and stakeholders

Excellent verbal communication skills and the capability to convey ideas clearly and confidently
