- Lead the valuation process for long-term deals, accurately capturing the impact of a range of market scenarios to reflect the risk-to-reward ratios of new projects, and identifying the key sensitivities associated with them
- Provide risk analysis in assessing new trading strategies, trading limits, and other business assessment of risk across a range of commodities (crude & refined products, gas, LNG, carbon)
- Lead and/or support systems strategies for the market risk and trade control functions with respect to exposure management and management information systems
- Manage trade control systems where we use Horizon/FEA
