Head of Market Risk (Energy Trading)

Our client is a leading global energy organisation with a significant and well-established presence across the full energy value chain, including upstream, downstream, and integrated trading operations. The firm operates a sophisticated Supply & Trading platform that plays a critical role in supporting global production, supply optimisation, and market access.

With Singapore serving as a key regional trading hub, the business has built a strong footprint across LNG, gas, and broader energy markets in Asia Pacific and the Middle East.

The organisation is known for its strong emphasis on operational excellence, risk discipline, and long-term value creation. It offers a collaborative and high-performance environment where risk functions are viewed as strategic partners to the business, rather than purely control functions.

• Drive adherence to trading policies, delegated authorities, and internal controls, while identifying opportunities to enhance processes, systems, and reporting capabilities.
• Manage and mentor a team of risk professionals in Singapore, fostering strong technical capability, collaboration, and alignment with global risk functions.
