About the role

Are you energised by the idea of driving smart transformation at the heart of global energy trading? Join our highly skilled, cross-locational Risk Analyst Business Engineering team, where you’ll make a real impact by empowering Risk and Front Office to operate at their best. Dive into the fast-moving worlds of electricity and gas and help steer RWE’s ambitious market journey forward.

You'll become a sought-after subject matter expert, shaping new processes, and delivering best-in-class training as we adapt to the rapidly evolving trading landscape. This is your opportunity to develop deep knowledge in a global core system (Endur), work closely with diverse colleagues, and be at the centre of shaping new market entries and business models.

• Design, implement and maintain changes to Endur supporting the New Business Approval Process (NBAP)
• Tackle complex trade and price-curve modelling in Endur, including managing market data processes
• Operate and enhance trade capture and market data processes - both day-to-day and at a strategic level (e.g., developing deal templates, Nexus volume uploads)
• Respond to queries from Risk, Front Office and Back Office on trade capture and valuation, including stress testing and Value-at-Risk calculations
• Deliver engaging training to ensure alignment and adoption of agreed new processes within the business
• Champion continuous improvement and standardisation, always striving to make things work better across teams

Job requirements and experience

• A university degree in a numerate discipline such as Economics, Mathematics, Science, or equivalent
• Solid understanding of market risk, with a talent for analysing and solving complex challenges
• Familiarity with commodity trading and exposure to full trade lifecycle processes for both physical and financial instruments across electricity, gas, LNG, and RECs certificates
• Confident communicator, able to translate technical concepts for both specialist and non-specialist audiences
• Excellent organisational skills; comfortable managing multiple priorities with attention to detail
• Adept at building constructive working relationships in a collaborative, international environment
• Technical proficiency with OpenLink Endur, Oracle SQL, and Microsoft Excel
• High level of self-motivation with ability to quickly pick up new systems, tasks, and ways of working

Advantageous, but not essential

• Broader understanding of commodity trading (across Power, PPAs, Green Certificates, EUA, Metal, Weather, IR, FX, and Cross Commodities) and knowledge of global market nuances
• Good grasp of value-at-risk, option valuation theory, options “Greeks”, and stress testing methodologies

What we value most is someone who continuously demonstrates courage, thrives to create impact and seeks to build trusting, collaborative relationships. So, even if you think you do not yet display all of the skills listed above we would still like to hear from you.

Further we welcome applications from individuals who may not be able to commit to full-time roles. At RWEST, finding the right person for the job is our top priority, and we are willing to explore flexible arrangements.
