The Team / The Business:

You will be part of the EMEA Gas and Power Analytics team of specialists with outstanding knowledge of European and global gas, power, carbon, and renewable fuel markets. The team works closely with global gas and LNG teams, with whom collaboration is essential.

• Research, collect, organize, standardize, process, and analyse gas market data.
• Develop and adhere to independent, transparent methodology for all analytical processes.
• Demonstrate a dynamic approach to learning and a passion for the natural gas industry.

Communicate expertise

• Exhibit best practice behaviours in all business activities to uphold ethical and business standards.

Knowledge & Skills:

• Strong quantitative background.
• An interest in the energy industry and aptitude for problem-solving is imperative.
• Experience in analysing natural gas or closely related markets (such as power or LNG) in commercial or consulting environments is beneficial.
• Experience in other energy commodity markets such as LNG, power, coal, and oil is highly advantageous.
• Self-driven, naturally curious, with excellent team and communication skills, eager to grow into a commodity expert.
