Based in Singapore, you will be a senior member of Aurora’s Global Energy Markets (gas, oil, and coal) team. The Global Energy Markets team produces Aurora’s central outlook and scenarios for the development of gas, oil, and coal markets, which underpin Aurora’s analysis of power markets.

You will focus on Asia Pacific (APAC) commodities markets, in addition to broader analysis of global markets, with a focus on generation fuels like natural gas and thermal coal. You will play a critical role in all aspects of product delivery and development, as well as client engagement, and represent the company externally.
