Full Job Posting
About the Role
- We are looking for a Senior Business Analyst who can operate with equal confidence in a boardroom and a data model.
- You understand how physical energy markets operate — from trade capture and settlement through to logistics, risk management, and financial reporting.
- This is a hands on role at the intersection of domain expertise and technology.
- You will translate operational knowledge of commodity trading into structured requirements, process schemas, and business rules.
- You will own workstreams end to end — from defining the problem to presenting recommendations to senior stakeholders.
What You Will Do
- Map and document business processes across Trading, Finance, Logistics, and Risk Management — from trade capture and confirmation through settlement, P&L reporting, inventory management, and delivery.
- Define functional requirements and acceptance criteria that translate operational workflows into system logic, data models, and business rules.
- Design process schemas and data flows for commodity trading platforms, covering deal lifecycle, cost allocation, scheduling & nominations, shipment tracking, and treasury integration.
- Work with the development team to plan and validate the business architecture of trading solutions, ensuring built features accurately reflect how physical markets operate.
- Prioritise across releases, helping the team sequence what gets built and when based on business value and operational dependencies.
- Produce clear, structured documentation — including functional specifications, process diagrams, and data dictionaries — that bridge the gap between domain knowledge and engineering.
- Contribute to the development of AI enabled workflows and advisory tools by turning industry knowledge into scalable logic and systems.
- Support stakeholder engagement, from problem definition and analysis to delivery of commercially relevant recommendations.
Requirements
- Deep understanding of physical commodity trading operations: deal lifecycle, trade confirmation, settlement, P&L reporting, cost allocation.
- Hands on experience with CTRM systems (e.g. Aspect, RightAngle, Allegro, Eka, or bespoke/in house platforms) — as a user, business analyst, or implementation lead.
- Familiarity with finance functions in commodity trading: invoicing, accruals, financial reporting, treasury integration.
- Understanding of logistics workflows in oil and energy markets: scheduling, nominations, shipment tracking, bill of lading, delivery confirmation, terminal operations.
- Proven ability to translate business processes into structured requirements, functional specifications, or data models.
- Experience creating process diagrams (BPMN or equivalent) and working directly with development teams.
- Strong financial modelling and commercial analysis capability.
- Fluent in English and Russian.
- 5+ years of relevant experience in physical commodity trading, energy markets, or CTRM systems.
Nice to Have
- Exposure to oil and gas markets specifically — crude, refined products, or LNG trading flows.
- Experience with risk management functions: market risk, credit risk, position management, limit monitoring, VaR.
- Experience with pricing data sources: Platts, Argus, ICE, forward curves, netback calculations.
- Hands on experience with LLMs, automation tools, or AI assisted workflows in a commercial context.
- Chartering, newbuilding, or sale and purchase exposure in shipping markets.
- Published industry research or thought leadership.
Why This Role
- Shape how commodity trading platforms are built — direct influence on architecture, features, and priorities from day one.
- Work at the intersection of deep domain expertise and modern technology, including AI driven development workflows.
- Direct exposure to physical oil, energy, and shipping markets with senior industry stakeholders.
- High ownership, high impact role with visibility across the full project lifecycle.
- Opportunity to define how data and AI are applied in a commercially driven environment.
Location
