## Description

At Ampol, we believe in the Power of Us - the extraordinary power of people to connect, act, and make a difference. As a leading energy company operating across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and the United States, our work spans fuel supply, energy solutions, convenience retail, infrastructure, trading, and shipping. Every role at Ampol plays a part in something bigger - powering progress for our customers, communities, and people.

We are implementing a new Commodity Trading and Risk Management (CTRM) system - a transformational initiative that will modernise trading operations, strengthen controls, and enable data-driven decision-making across the Trading & Shipping value chain. As the Lead Functional Business Analyst, you will translate complex business needs into practical functional outcomes across Trading, Risk, Operations, and Finance, focusing on the Oil & Gas industry.

Acting as a trusted bridge between business stakeholders, technology teams, vendors, and program governance forums, you will ensure solution design, testing, and implementation align with business priorities and delivery milestones. This is a hands-on, business-facing leadership role requiring strong functional analysis, proven stakeholder management, structured problem-solving, and resilience.

Key Responsibilities:

- Leadership & Delivery Oversight: Lead and manage Business Analysts across the workstream, ensuring clear priorities, consistent standards, and high-quality delivery.

- Functional Analysis & Solution Design: Translate complex business requirements into clear functional specifications, user stories, acceptance criteria, and system configuration inputs.

- Process Design & Business Engagement: Build trusted relationships across Trading, Risk, Operations, and Finance, acting as a credible link between business stakeholders and delivery teams.

- Governance & Quality: Ensure requirements, decisions, assumptions, risks, dependencies, and sign-offs are documented, traceable, and appropriately governed.

- Testing & Go-Live Readiness: Oversee UAT planning and ensure test scenarios reflect signed-off functional designs and real business use.

Qualifications & Experience:

- Degree in Finance, Business, Technology, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.

- Significant experience leading business analysis or major workstreams within large-scale technology transformation or system implementation programs.

- Strong knowledge of physical commodities trading, ideally Oil & Products, across one or more areas such as Front Office, Risk, Operations, Logistics, Scheduling, or Finance.

- Demonstrated ability to translate complex business needs into practical, testable functional solutions.

- Exceptional stakeholder management and influencing skills, with a proven ability to build credibility, align diverse stakeholders, and maintain confidence through change.
