Oil Block Trade Broker – Futures & Options

Location: London

Compensation: Competitive base salary + performance-linked bonus

Imperium Commodity Search is confidentially retained to recruit an experienced Oil Block Trade Broker to join a growing and established energy brokerage business in London.

Our client is a recognised participant in the European wholesale energy markets, operating a highly regarded voice and electronic execution model and continuing to expand its product capability across energy derivatives.

Following continued investment in the business, they are now looking to develop their presence within the oil derivatives and block trading markets and are interested in speaking with experienced brokers who can bring genuine product knowledge, strong market relationships and a proven execution track record.

The Role – Oil Block Trading

The successful individual will focus on arranging and executing block trades across the oil derivatives markets, working with professional trading counterparties including oil majors, trading houses, banks, hedge funds, refiners and other institutional market participants.

Depending on individual product expertise, coverage could include areas such as:

• Brent and WTI crude oil futures and options
• Gasoil, diesel and middle distillates
• Gasoline / RBOB
• Heating oil
• Fuel oil
• Crude and refined-product spreads
• Related ICE and CME/NYMEX contracts

The business is open to brokers with particular strength in an individual part of the barrel as well as those covering a broader range of oil products.

Key responsibilities include:

• Arranging and executing sizeable block transactions across oil futures and options markets
• Working orders through a predominantly relationship-led / voice-brokered model
• Developing liquidity and identifying counterparties for client orders
• Maintaining strong relationships with trading houses, oil majors, banks, refiners, funds and other professional market participants
• Providing clients with accurate market colour, pricing information and liquidity intelligence
• Managing trades from initial enquiry through execution and exchange registration
• Working closely with existing energy brokerage teams to identify cross-product opportunities
• Helping establish and grow the firm’s presence in the oil derivatives market

Candidate Profile

We are interested in speaking with established brokers currently operating within the oil futures, options or exchange-cleared derivatives markets.

You are likely to have:

• Direct experience broking oil futures, options or related derivatives
• Experience arranging block trades and executing sizeable off-screen transactions

The company offers:

• An established institutional client infrastructure
• Strong technology and exchange connectivity
