Front Office Data Analyst (Oil) - Commodity Trading House

Here you’ll sit between the oil desk and the data infrastructure, and you make both sides better.

This is a front office data role at a commodity trading firm where the pace is genuinely different. New ideas do not sit in approval queues for months. If you have a good idea, you are implementing it within weeks. You take real ownership here, and that matters.

Day to day you are working closely with the oil desk, supporting pricing and fundamentals data, facing off to traders directly and understanding what they need from the data. You are not a pure desk analyst and you are not a pure engineer. You live in the middle. You can talk to quants and developers, and you can talk to the desk. That combination is what makes this role work.

On the technical side, you are comfortable in Python and SQL, and you are already using AI assisted coding tools or you are actively keen to. You do not need to be designing systems from the ground up, but you can read code, make small changes, and push things forward without waiting for someone else to do it for you. You know your way around an IDE.

One of the projects you will be involved in is a re-engineering of the pricing infrastructure, so there is real substance to get into from the start.

Ideally, you’ll have solid knowledge of oil market data and fundamental data. You understand what the numbers mean, not just how to move them around.

This would suit someone who has come from a data or technology background in commodities and built genuine market knowledge, or someone who started on the analytical side and has since developed real technical ability.
