Reporting to the Director, Asia Market Analysis, the Advisor, Heavies Market Research supports the Singapore commodity trading group with timely, accurate, and forward‑looking views of high‑sulphur and low‑sulphur fuel oil fundamentals, balances, flows, margins, and infrastructure across East of Suez and other key global markets. The role goes beyond routine market updates: it integrates market, operational, and commercial inputs into clear reads on supply and demand, the Hi‑5 and scrubber spreads, crack and time‑spread direction, and trade‑relevant shifts across the residual fuel complex - from Middle East straight‑run and cracked HSFO to Russian residue routing into Asia.

This is an experienced individual‑contributor analyst role. The candidate will independently own HSFO and LSFO coverage and handle more complex, ambiguous questions that a foundational analyst would escalte. He/she will apply market‑research methods in new or less‑defined commercial contexts, connect the regional view to the global balance, and translate analysis into actionable recommendations that shape desk assumptions.

What You’ll Do

• Independently own HSFO and LSFO coverage, developing insights and market outlooks on supply, demand, balances, and crack and spread direction across the product set.
• Continuously improve recurring analysis and dashboards, adding new views and methods as market drivers evolve.
• Integrate the regional HSFO and LSFO view to the global balance and reconcile flows against balance assumptions independently.
• Translate refinery and operational changes into market implications and actionable, trade‑relevant recommendations.
• Handle non‑routine and ambiguous questions independently, applying judgment where methods are not fully defined.
• Partner with traders and peers across desks to pressure‑test views and constructively challenge assumptions.
• Track physical fuel oil flows using ship‑tracking and internal data across key East‑of‑Suez and global swing regions.

What You’ll Bring – Required

• Bachelor’s degree or higher.
• 4 or more years of relevant experience in market analysis, refining, fuel oil / residual products, ship‑tracking, trading support, or related commercial analytics, with a track record of independent coverage ownership.
• Intermediate or greater proficiency in Microsoft Excel; working proficiency with Power BI, Python, or similar tools to organize data, automate analysis, and present insight.
• Ability to apply market‑research methods in new or complex commercial contexts and translate findings into actionable recommendations.
• Solid working knowledge of residue economics - coking, vacuum distillation, FCC/RFCC, and blending.

What Makes You Stand Out

• Prior fuel oil, residual products, bunker, ship‑tracking, refining, or trade‑flow experience in Asia or Middle East markets.
• Familiarity with the residual fuel complex - Hi‑5 and scrubber spreads, straight‑run vs cracked HSFO, VGO, sulfur cutters, and the drivers behind bunker, power‑generation, and refinery feedstock demand.
• Experience building balances, dashboards, or trader‑facing tools using Databricks, Python, Power BI, or Excel.
• Experience using AI agents or automation tools to build dashboards, improve workflows, or scale output.
• Strong stakeholder management across the Singapore, London, and Houston desks.
