Senior Business Analyst | Commodities & Energy Brokerage | £90,000 + Strong Bonus | 2-3 days office, Ldn
My client is a global, utility-backed energy trading business with a strong focus on commodities and the management of complex flows across LNG, coal, power, and freight markets. With exposure to multiple international trading environments, the company places significant value on accurate data modelling and clear trade-lifecycle insight to support informed decision-making. As their Commodities & Energy Brokerage division undergoes a period of technology and data transformation, they are modernising systems and improving how data is captured, processed, and leveraged across the front-to-back trading process. Their model combines physical trading, market optimisation, and data-led analysis, creating an environment where Senior Business Analysts play a central role in shaping workflows, enhancing reporting, and supporting the day-to-day needs of global trading teams. As such, strong business knowledge around commodities and energy is critical for this Senior Business Analyst role, along with proven experience delivering data projects, exposure to front office processes, and strong SQL skills to query, analyse, and validate data effectively.
As a Senior Business Analyst, you will be required to support data engineers managing the Databricks platform and data pipelining, as well as understand the commodities and energy trade lifecycle and the data required from both front and middle office to develop extensive system and application knowledge across different trades. The Senior Business Analyst will be expected to proactively engage with users, working collaboratively to translate business needs into structured data requirements and deliver actionable insights. You must take ownership of creating clear, structured documentation (e.g., backlogs of user stories) and be able to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Location: Hybrid, 2–3 days from the office, based in Euston Square, London
