Senior Energy Derivatives Trader - Energy Conglomerate

Senior Energy Derivatives Trader - Energy Conglomerate

Overview
This is a diversified energy conglomerate, looking to build its trading capabilities in Singapore. The Group is committed to building a disciplined and modern trading function that safeguards physical margins while growing its derivatives capabilities. As the organisation strengthens its commercial portfolio, it is seeking an experienced Derivatives Trader to drive the design and execution of paperhedging strategies that protect and stabilise P&L performance. This is an exciting role for an individual who thrives in markets, enjoys structure and analytics, and is passionate about embedding strong risk governance.

Role
Reporting to the Managing Director, the Senior Energy Derivatives Trader will take ownership of translating physical market exposures into effective hedge strategies through disciplined use of derivatives instruments, initially centred around vanilla swaps. You will execute trades across approved venues, manage positions through their full lifecycle, and ensure close alignment with risk limits, governance protocols, and the organisation's noproprietarytrading mandate. A key focus will be on monitoring hedge effectiveness, identifying basis risks, and recommending enhancements to improve coverage and stability.
Beyond daytoday trading, you will help shape the organisation's broader derivatives presence - building counterparty relationships, contributing to the development of market access, and gradually expanding into more sophisticated structures such as spreads, options, and tailored hedging solutions. Collaboration will be essential, as you work closely with Physical Traders, Risk, Finance, and Legal to ensure compliance, documentation completeness, and robust internal processes. You will also play a meaningful role in capability building by documenting methodologies and supporting junior team members.

Requirements
The successful candidate should hold a degree in Finance, Business, Engineering, or a related discipline, with advanced qualifications such as an MBA, CFA, or FRM considered advantageous. They bring at least five years of hands-on experience in commodity derivatives trading, ideally within coal, energy, or closely related markets. A strong track record in executing swap strategies, managing hedging programs, and stabilising P&L through disciplined exposure management is essential. You demonstrate a solid understanding of exchange-traded versus OTC structures, ISDA frameworks, clearing processes, margin mechanics, and end-to-end trade lifecycle workflows. Familiarity with ETRM systems and risk reporting tools, including VaR, stress testing, and mark-to-market analytics, is expected. You are also described as highly analytical, structured, and detail-oriented, with an unwavering commitment to controls, governance, and compliance standards, and are able to collaborate effectively across commercial, risk, finance, and legal stakeholders.
