Chris ParkUnited StatesSENIORPosted 14h ago
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced derivatives and risk professional to help turn real client problems into practical analysis, useful broker and trading-desk conversations, and successful pilots. This role involves working with commercial clients, brokers, and trading desks to understand event risk, compare contract terms, and evaluate potential hedges.
Key Responsibilities
• Work directly with clients to define their exposures, objectives, constraints and required decisions.
• Compare relevant event contracts with conventional futures, options and swaps, accounting for differences in benchmarks, payouts, available size, costs and payment timing.
• Build and validate the analysis, explain the remaining risks, and work with brokers and trading desks on clearly defined client requests.
• Own scoped pilots from discovery through delivery, customer feedback and the decision to continue on a paid basis.
• Turn recurring customer needs into precise requirements for our product and engineering work.
Requirements
• Ideally 5+ years of relevant experience in derivatives structuring, commodity risk, quantitative client solutions, treasury or hedging advisory.
• Experience delivering real client projects, including working through incomplete information and practical market constraints.
• A strong understanding of basis risk, liquidity, fees, funding, settlement timing and the difference between a contract’s payout and the protection it provides.
• Clear communication with commercial clients, brokers, traders and engineers.
• Ownership, attention to detail and the judgment to challenge assumptions—including recognising when a proposed hedge does not fit the client’s needs.
• Experience in US energy markets, particularly natural gas, power or oil, would be especially relevant.
