- Bachelor's degree equivalent knowledge of Economics, Mathematics/Statistics, Data Science, Engineering, or Petroleum studies from a reputable university. A Master’s or technical specialization/certification would be an advantage.

- Very strong experience of at least 8-10 years in the physical product markets or a research house, either as a trader or analyst, with strong understanding in market fundamentals and the oil and gas value chain.

- Collaborative and flexible approach to delivering value-additive outcomes for clients.

- Understanding of financial markets, and their impact on the oil industry.

- Network of physical trading contacts in Asia and, potentially, other regions.

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to effectively convey information at various levels within the organization, as well as external clients.

- Experience building global supply and demand models, either as part of a Research advisory organization or for an oil company, is highly desirable.

- Proficiency in advanced Excel (VBA coding would be a plus) and other Microsoft Office applications is a must. Knowledge of Python or MATLAB is a strong advantage, as is advanced knowledge of PowerBI.

- Strong time management skills for balancing multiple tasks simultaneously, while completing work within allocated timeframes.
