Commercial Opportunities

This programme is designed to accelerate the careers of successful graduates who have a strong commercial outlook and a genuine interest in commodities trading in our Energy division. We look for disciplined people who can demonstrate entrepreneurial ability, thrive on logistical challenges, and can provide practical solutions to complex problems applying mathematical and coding capability. Within the Commercial Programme you’ll have the opportunity to support traders and operators through a role in Risk Management, Credit Risk, Analytics, Sustainability or Operations, with opportunities to rotate between them.  

Our team of trading analysts works directly with traders, guiding their commercial strategy by providing data-driven insights into energy commodities markets. 

The team evaluates fundamental global market supply and demand of commodities traded in the energy division. Successful candidates in this team will both shape traders’ understanding of market dynamics and work cross-functionally with the shipping and technology teams, developing tools to drive results across the business. 

The fast-paced nature of the trading floor means no two days as a graduate analyst will be the same – however, you will be consistently called upon to provide practical solutions to complex problems using your mathematical aptitude and coding capabilities.

Our Risk team is an independent function, working closely with the energy division trading desks to make sure that the risk-reward of our trading books are properly balanced. Graduates who enter this team have the chance to work across three areas – product risk, market risk, and credit risk. 

Risk managers maintain physical and derivative exposure whilst assessing the accuracy and validity of mark-to-markets in order to produce profit and loss reports and risk metrics. They provide analysis, ensuring that hedging is executed in line with our trading team’s strategy.
