Job Description

About Role:

The Senior Business Development Analyst supports the Commercial team across the full deal cycle, from screening an opportunity to investment approval and signing. The role owns the financial models, market analysis and decision materials behind our business development work.

This is not an entry-level position. We expect someone who can run a workstream with little supervision, form a commercial view of their own and defend it in front of senior colleagues and counterparties.

Key responsibilities

Financial and commercial modelling. Build, maintain and stress-test project and deal models for LNG terminals, FSRUs, LNG-to-power and LNG supply, including tariffs, returns, sensitivities and financing structures.
Opportunity screening. Assess new opportunities and markets on demand, competition, regulation and economics, and recommend which ones merit the team's time.
Market and pricing analysis. Track LNG, gas and power market fundamentals, price benchmarks and policy developments, and turn them into clear views on supply cost, netbacks and customer pricing.
Deal support. Support the negotiation of MOUs, term sheets and definitive agreements by analysing commercial terms, preparing negotiation materials, managing data rooms and coordinating due diligence.
Decision materials. Draft business cases, investment committee papers and management and board presentations to a standard that needs little rework.
Counterparty research. Profile customers, partners, suppliers and competitors to support origination and partner selection.
Pipeline reporting. Maintain the commercial pipeline and report progress, risks and next steps to the Head of Commercial and senior management.
Internal collaboration. Work with project development, technical, finance and legal colleagues in Singapore and Dubai to make sure commercial assumptions hold up.

Candidate profile

[4 to 7 years] of relevant experience, gained in one or more of the following:
Business development, commercial or corporate development at an LNG, gas, power or energy infrastructure company
Investment banking, project finance or infrastructure investment with an energy focus
Strategy or commercial advisory work for energy clients
Strong financial modelling skills. Able to build a project or deal model from a blank sheet and explain what drives it.
Working knowledge of the LNG and gas value chain, including pricing and the main commercial agreements. Exposure to Asian gas and power markets is an advantage.
Clear, concise writer. Able to turn analysis into a recommendation and a paper that senior management can act on.
Self-directed and comfortable in a lean team where priorities move quickly and the analyst works directly with senior colleagues.
Degree in finance, economics, engineering, business or a related field. A postgraduate or professional qualification such as an MBA or CFA is an advantage.
Fluent in English; willing to travel regionally.
