5. Integrate analysis into traders' decision-making processes, creating systematic frameworks for monetising analysis via profitable trading strategies.
6. Devise effective visual methods to display market opportunities and risks.
7. Collaborate proactively with other parts of the global business and external contacts to enhance analysis quality and utility.
8. Utilise technology to increase efficiency and automate LNG market analysis, including data capture, interpretation, and report/tool production for traders.

What we're looking for / Skills that will help you in the role

• Significant experience providing successful LNG market analysis for a trading desk in an energy trading environment; utilities, producers, or trading houses preferred.
• Deep knowledge of physical and financial LNG markets, with understanding of gas and power markets, regulatory issues, and demand.
• Experience working in small, high-performance teams is a plus.
• Strong numerical and analytical skills.
• Strategic thinking and practical problem-solving abilities.
• A positive attitude, self-motivated, and capable of managing stress effectively.
• Flexibility, innovation, decisiveness, planning, and control.
• Good interpersonal and communication skills.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, standard software, and trading-specific software.
• Knowledge of stochastic modelling techniques such as sensitivity analysis or Monte Carlo simulation.
• Programming skills (e.g., SQL, Python) and experience working with large data sets.
• Ability to learn new skills and adapt to market developments.
