The Team: S&P Global Energy is seeking an experienced Analyst for its Commodity Risk Solutions team.

The Impact: The analyst will work across the value chain here at S&P Global Energy, starting with sales and product management to define the market opportunity, then with both S&P Global Energy editorial and analytical staff to develop new forward curves and other products, through development of the code to publish the curves, and monitoring curve performance every day. They will leverage their knowledge of markets and our products to assist sales in defining and describing our products to customers.

• Develops algorithms for new forward pricing points for illiquid locations/commodities.

• Works well in a team environment, focusing on collaboration and adapting to the needs of a diverse team.

• Adept at managing multiple tasks and adhering to regular deadlines. Able to adjust priorities throughout the day.

• Self-Starter required – you will be working remotely from management and must be able to diligently pursue tasks and manage priorities.

• The ideal candidate will be comfortable developing quantitatively-derived forward curves in coordination with other experts in the company, as well as implementing them in an every-day, without-fail environment, with little direct supervision.
