• 5–10 years of experience with ION Openlink Endur
• 5+ years of experience with natural gas trading
• 2+ years of experience with power trading
• 1–2 years of experience with AVS, JVS, or Open Components
• Hands‑on experience with trade booking, valuation, risk modeling on a forward basis, pricing, settlement, and scheduling
• Strong understanding of ETRM processes across front, middle, and back office
• Able to write SQL queries using the Endur data model
• Strong communication and organizational skills
• Relevant bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience

Nice to Have
