Role Summary

Aubay is seeking a Senior Business Analyst for our international energy client’s team to facilitate transformational change and associated efficiencies around market access, people, processes, and systems across commercial and operational priorities. The team plays a critical role in creating and prioritising the Strategic Roadmap delivery to meet the department's goals and vision, while also balancing operational change priorities to protect the “licence to operate” through robust change management frameworks. This role requires strong CTRM experience, with a preference for candidates familiar with LNG. However, experience in oil/gas or financials in a commodity trading context will also be considered. The ideal candidate will possess exceptional BA abilities and demonstrate an aptitude for quickly learning new commodities. This role involves significant travel to Doha, Qatar, with approximately 50% travel required (up to 30 days at a time). Further details regarding travel requirements will be discussed during the interview process. This is an exciting opportunity for a skilled Business Analyst to influence transformational change within a key energy sector client.

  • A minimum of 8 years of work experience in commodities trading with leading IOCs, trading houses, NOCs, or vendors in change, process, and technology. 
  • Strong CTRM experience is essential, with commodities experience preferred in LNG. 
  • Front-to-back-office Trade Lifecycle experience, with specialisation in areas such as Physical Trading, Cargo Growth, or Portfolio Optimisation. 
  • Familiarity with products such as Planlogic’s EOS, Veson Nautical, IMOS, and SAP is advantageous. 
  • Comprehensive, multi-disciplinary knowledge of commodities trading, shipping, and finance. 
  • A passion for technology as an enabler in commodities trading. 
  • Excellent communication, presentation, and influencing skills. 
  • Practical experience with agile frameworks; PMP or Prince2 certification is advantageous. 

Desired Skills and Experience

  • A postgraduate qualification (MSc, PhD, or MBA) is beneficial. 
  • LNG experience is highly desirable. 
  • Experience with ETRM tools such as Openlink, Allegro, or Salesforce is preferred. 

Key Role Responsibilities

  • Assist in developing and refining the strategic vision for transformation, ensuring alignment with long-term goals and architecture. 
  • Build and maintain partnerships with internal and external stakeholders, ensuring that transformation priorities are clear and projects are executed effectively. 
  • Implement change management strategies to facilitate smooth transitions during transformation projects in alignment with the Target Operating Model (TOM). 
  • Champion a continuous improvement culture through innovation, automation, and retrospectives to enhance efficiency and scalability for all stakeholders. 
  • Identify and manage high-risk areas or critical path dependencies, devising risk mitigation plans and promoting their adoption through change initiatives. 
  • Cultivate a deep understanding of the business’s mission, market dynamics, regulatory landscape, customer requirements, and trading intricacies to guide informed decision-making.
