Working closely with the physical trading teams, you will help develop trading strategies, identify opportunities across crude and/or refined products, and take ownership of risk and P&L within an established business with significant physical operations.

We are ideally looking for someone with both physical and derivatives trading experience—someone who understands how underlying flows, logistics and market fundamentals translate into profitable trading decisions.

You will bring:

• A strong track record in energy trading, with direct P&L responsibility.
• Experience in crude and/or refined products markets.
• Sound commercial judgement and disciplined risk management.

For a trader seeking greater ownership and the opportunity to influence how a trading capability develops, this offers an exciting next step.

Based in Houston. Relocation support available.
