Reporting to Sr Manager, Asia Market Analysis, the Advisor, Market Research (LPG & Naphtha) supports the Singapore commodity trading group with a timely, accurate, and forward-looking view of LPG and naphtha fundamentals, balances, flows, margins, and infrastructure across Asia and other key global markets.

This role goes beyond publishing routine market updates. He / she is expected to integrate a range of market, operational, and commercial inputs into clear, commercially useful insights on supply and demand trends, margins, price direction, and trade-relevant market shifts.

This role also supports digitalization and workflow modernization by improving dashboards, automating recurring processes, and helping move desk output beyond fragile spreadsheet and email-based workflows into more scalable tools.

What You’ll Do

• Develop actionable LPG and naphtha market insights for Singapore by interpreting raw market and internal data to evaluate supply, demand, balances, and price-spread direction for trading use.
• Produce and continuously improve recurring market analysis, dashboards, and updates covering LPG and naphtha fundamentals, margins, trade flows, and key market developments.
• Build and maintain market views using a range of internal and external data sources, identifying key changes and their commercial implications.
• Maintain and improve datasets, models, and reporting inputs covering supply, demand, operations, balances, and trade flows.
• Translate refinery, petrochemical, and related operating changes into actionable insights on supply,-demand fundamentals, margins, and regional trade dynamics.
• Develop supply and demand balances, trade flow analysis, and visualizations that support market understanding and decision-making.
• Contribute to regional and global market views by helping to connect local developments to broader NGL trends across key markets.
• Support forecasting and market insight generation by turning data and intelligence into clear, decision-useful analysis.
• Improve digitalization through Power BI and other analytical tools, helping reduce manual work, improve transparency, and scale analytical output.
• Partner closely with traders, global LPG and naphtha teams, and interns to validate assumptions, pressure-test market views, and ensure outputs are accurate, current, and commercially useful.

What You’ll Bring – Required

• Bachelor’s degree or higher.
• 2 or more year(s) of relevant experience in market analysis, refining, petrochemicals, NGL/LPG/naphtha, trading support, ship-tracking, or related commercial analytics. Experience in adjacent products, such as crude, distillates, or fuel oil, may also be considered.
• Candidates with less direct experience may also be considered if they demonstrate strong analytical capability, commercial acumen and learning agility.
• Intermediate or greater proficiency in Microsoft Excel.
• Experience using Power BI, Excel, Python, or other analytical tools to organize data, automate analysis, and present market insights.
• Ability to synthesize multiple data sources into clear balances, flow views, and actionable commercial takeaways.
• Working knowledge of refinery and petrochemical operations, cracker and PDH economics, or the ability to quickly develop this knowledge and translate operational changes into market implications.

What Makes You Stand Out

• Prior LPG, naphtha, petrochemical, ship-tracking, refining, or trade-flow experience in Asia markets.
• Experience building balances, dashboards, or trader-facing analytical tools using Power BI, Excel, Python, or similar platforms.
• Experience using AI agents or automation tools to create Excel dashboards, improve workflows, or scale analytical output.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with experience supporting cross-functional discussions and challenging assumptions constructively with traders and peer analysts.
