• Proven track record of asset-backed trading and portfolio optimisation with direct P&L responsibility
• Demonstrated ability to take and manage market views across both physical and paper markets
• Strong understanding of the LNG value chain and global gas market dynamics

Technical & Trading Expertise

• Experience trading derivatives and managing basis/spread risks across regions
