Analyst - Consultant – Technology, Data & Digital Transformation in Energy and Commodities Trading

We are growing our Energy & Commodities Trading Practice in Singapore and are looking for people excited by technology, data, digital innovation and AI to help shape the future of trading across Asia.

Our Singapore based team works with leading energy, metals, mining and agricultural trading organisations across Asia to deliver strategic, digital, data and operational transformation. We help clients redesign how their trading businesses operate, modernise technology landscapes, improve decision-making through better data, and deliver complex change.

We are looking for individuals who are excited by technology-enabled transformation, data-driven problem solving and the rapidly evolving AI landscape. You do not need prior commodities or energy experience to apply, but you do need a genuine interest in these markets and an appetite to build your expertise in this sector.

• Designing risk management and control frameworks that support resilient, scalable and technology-enabled trading operations.
