WHAT YOU’LL DO

As a Market Risk Analyst, you'll enhance and build quantitative tools that help measure and monitor risk across our global environmental commodities portfolios.

Leverage SQL and Tableau (or similar tools) to build a data infrastructure that supports company-wide risk visibility
Contribute to cash flow forecasting and working capital modeling
Serve as a key partner to the trading desk, participating in daily discussions and evolving portfolio strategies
Assist in other risk department initiatives
