We are looking to hire a Front Office Business Analyst with deep Oil trading domain experience (physical & derivatives) to support trading, risk, and commercial teams across the full trade lifecycle. This role is front‑office facing, focused on product onboarding, valuation, P&L, risk, and scheduling rather than hands‑on ETRM experience.
