Job Description:

Exciting opportunity for a Senior Commercial Advisor specialising in ISDA Master Agreements to join this global Energy company.

This is an exciting time to join this world-leading Energy company as it evolves from a traditional Oil & Gas enterprise into a future-focused Energy leader. This transformation includes the establishment of a highly successful new Power Trading desk within the Energy Trading team and ventures into cutting-edge solutions that address the evolving demands of the Energy sector. These initiatives include advanced Gas infrastructure, LNG technology, effective Energy Storage systems, and Green Energy solutions. These innovations create opportunities for talented individuals to contribute to this evolution, working alongside industry professionals and leveraging the latest technology.

You must have in-depth knowledge of documentation and legal frameworks related to derivatives trading (e.g., ISDA, CSA/VMCSA, brokerage and master agreements) and a strong understanding of regulatory environments relevant to OTC derivatives.

Key Responsibilities:

• Serve as a subject matter expert, offering guidance on complex contractual frameworks including ISDAs, delegated reporting agreements, broker and service-level agreements, ensuring regulatory and internal compliance.
• Advise trading teams on contractual and commercial risks, ensuring agreements are robust and aligned with operational requirements.
• Support in resolving contractual disputes, engaging with legal counsel as needed.
• Monitor and interpret regulatory changes and assess their impact on business activities.
• Draft and negotiate tailored agreements to support new or complex trading strategies.
• Maintain records of negotiations and agreements for clarity to stakeholders.
• Ensure compliance with internal controls and external audit standards, especially regarding derivatives and SOX requirements.
• Provide commercial advice pre- and post-trades for optimal outcomes.
• Understand and ensure compliance with confirmations processes and regimes like EMIR.
• Support cross-team efforts to maintain business continuity.

This role requires a positive attitude and the ability to work within a large, globally dispersed project team in a multicultural environment. Candidates should be self-starters, logical thinkers, quick learners, and excellent communicators with strong interpersonal and presentation skills. We uphold equality of opportunity for all applicants regardless of gender, marital status, race, ethnicity, creed, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or age.

We focus on Energy Trading, Oil & Gas, Financial Markets, and Commodities. Our recruitment service is reliable and effective, ISO accredited, and backed by excellent TrustPilot reviews.
