JOB SUMMARY
We are seeking a Senior Quantitative Risk Manager to develop, enhance, and
govern quantitative models used to value, risk assess, and explain exposures
across natural gas, LNG, power, and related structured/optional physical and
financial transactions in a commodity trading business. The role will partner
closely with trading, structuring, origination, middle office, risk, technology,
and finance to deliver decision-quality analytics, robust model governance, and
scalable reporting.
This role is designed for a candidate who combines cross-commodity quantitative
rigor in their quantitative risk leadership with practical energy trading
valuation and risk-control orientation.
JOB DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
1) Quantitative Modeling, Valuation, and Analytics
* Develop and maintain quantitative models for valuation, exposure measurement,
and risk assessment across physical and financial natural gas, LNG, and power
portfolios.
* Build and enhance models for optional and structured transactions, including
storage, transport, tolling, heat-rate optionality, basis/spread structures,
swing optionality, and other asset-backed or logistics-driven exposures.
* Support mark-to-market, fair value, forward curve construction, volatility
surfaces, scenario analysis, and P&L attribution for complex positions and
portfolios.
* Design and improve analytical frameworks for VaR, Expected Shortfall, stress
testing, backtesting, component risk, sensitivity analysis, and scenario
analysis.
2) Trading and Commercial Support
* Partner directly with traders, originators, and structurers to evaluate
transactions, challenge assumptions, explain model outputs, and support
hedging and optimization decisions.
* Translate market views, deal structures, and operational realities into
actionable analytics that support commercial decisions across gas, LNG, and
power.
* Provide analysis of risk drivers, spread movements, optionality value, and
changes in valuation or risk metrics to risk committees and senior
leadership.
3) Risk Framework, Controls, and Governance
* Strengthen the quantitative underpinnings of the firm’s market risk
framework, including model documentation, assumptions governance, testing
standards, and auditability.
* Lead or support model review, model validation readiness, model governance,
and remediation of model limitations and control gaps.
* Ensure analytics and reporting align with board-approved risk tolerances,
internal policies, and evolving control requirements.
4) Systems, Data, and Automation
* Build or enhance scalable analytics in Python and related tools to automate
recurring calculations, improve transparency, and reduce manual risk
processes.
* Work with ETRM/CTRM systems and market data infrastructure to ensure robust
integration of curves, positions, valuation logic, and risk outputs.
Experience with systems such as Endur, Allegro, ZEMA, or comparable platforms
is valuable.
* Create reports, dashboards, and visualizations that communicate complex
quantitative results clearly to both technical and non-technical
stakeholders.
JOB SPECIFIC SKILLS
* Advanced Python skills for quantitative analytics, risk engines, data
pipelines, and automated reporting; familiarity with pandas, NumPy, SciPy,
and production-quality coding practices is expected.
* Additional programming capability in one or more of SQL, C#, C++, VBA, or
similar languages.
* Strong understanding of probability, statistics, stochastic modeling, option
pricing, numerical methods, Monte Carlo simulation, and time-series analysis.
* Experience with data visualization and reporting tools and the ability to
present quantitative insights clearly to senior stakeholders.
* Practical use of AI-enabled tools to accelerate coding, research, workflow
automation, data exploration, or insight generation, with appropriate
controls for model risk, reproducibility, and governance.
* Familiarity with Git/GitHub/GitLab, software lifecycle controls, and
documentation standards is highly desirable.
EDUCATION
* Bachelor's degree from an accredited University required in a quantitative
discipline such as Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Engineering, Computer
Science, Econometrics, Finance, Applied Economics or related.
* Master’s degree or PhD preferred in a quantitative discipline such as
Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science,
Econometrics, Finance, Applied Economics or related.
EXPERIENCE
* Experience in quantitative risk, quantitative analytics, structuring,
valuation, or model development in a commodity trading, energy trading,
merchant energy, utility trading, hedge fund, or investment banking
environment.
* Demonstrated hands-on experience modeling, valuing, and risk assessing
instruments and portfolios in natural gas, LNG, and power.
* Strong understanding of both physical and financial commodity markets,
including forwards, swaps, options, structured transactions, and asset-backed
exposures.
* Experience with market risk metrics, including VaR/GMaR/EaR/stress/scenario
frameworks, and the ability to explain risk in a trading context rather than
only from a theoretical perspective.
* Experience in asset-backed trading, including storage, transport, generation,
renewables, batteries, or tolling structures in North America gas markets.
* Proven success working cross-functionally with front office, risk,
operations, finance, and technology teams.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preferred Experience / Strong Pluses
* Experience spanning both financial trading and physical energy trading,
especially where the role bridged derivatives pricing with logistics,
dispatch, storage, or LNG optionality.
* Model validation, model governance, or formal model review experience.
* Exposure to LNG portfolio modeling, shipping/scheduling optionality, or
international gas/LNG valuation frameworks.
* Experience supporting power market analytics such as nodal pricing,
CRRs/FTRs, heat-rate modeling, dispatch logic, congestion analysis, or
ISO/RTO market behavior.
* Ability to mentor junior analysts and influence standards for quantitative
methods across the organization.
ADDITIONAL QUALIFICATIONS
Core Competencies
* Strong commercial judgment with the ability to connect quantitative outputs
to real trading decisions.
* Clear communicator who can explain complex model behavior, assumptions, and
limitations to traders, risk managers, finance, and executives.
* High standards for accuracy, transparency, governance, and documentation.
* Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, front-office-adjacent trading
environment where priorities evolve and analytics must be both rigorous and
timely.
