You work closely with front office teams across Commodities and Global Markets, gaining exposure to innovative hedging structures, physical commodity flows and new market opportunities. Your curiosity about global trade dynamics, fundamentals and geopolitical influences enables you to translate complex information into balanced risk decisions that shape outcomes for the organisation.

• Experience interpreting company financial statements and forming creditworthiness views.
• Ability to identify and assess key risks within structured transactions and anticipate potential challenges.
