Job description

I'm currently working with a growing energy trading business that is looking to hire a Senior Front Office Business Analyst to support a significant expansion across trading desks, products, and international markets.

This is not a traditional Business Analyst role. The position sits at the heart of the trading floor, working directly with traders, operations, and technology teams to deliver front-office initiatives that enable the launch of new trading desks, onboard new geographies, and support the continued growth of both traditional and renewable energy trading activities.

The environment is fast-paced and highly commercial, requiring someone who can quickly understand complex trading concepts and translate business requirements into scalable technology solutions. The team is looking for a BA who is comfortable challenging stakeholders, driving requirements from inception through delivery, and operating within a front-office trading environment where decisions are made in real time.

This is an opportunity to work across a broad range of energy products while helping shape the future of a rapidly evolving trading business. You'll be involved in initiatives spanning physical and financial trading, renewable energy markets, and the onboarding of new trading capabilities across multiple regions.

• Strong Front Office Business Analysis experience within Energy Trading
• Experience working with Gas, Power, LNG, or broader commodities trading environments
• Knowledge of trade lifecycle processes including nominations, scheduling, trade capture, pricing, and P&L reporting
• Understanding of fixed-price and index-linked trading products
• Experience delivering business and technology change initiatives within trading organisations
• Ability to engage directly with traders and senior front-office stakeholders
• Exposure to renewable energy markets including solar, wind, and energy storage is highly desirable

Responsibilities

• Collaborating with technology, operations, risk, and trading stakeholders to deliver strategic initiatives
• Driving process improvement and front-office platform enhancements
• Supporting the growth of renewable energy trading across solar, wind, and storage markets

Salary and Benefits:

• Up to £150,000 + Bonus + Benefits
• Office: five days a week
