• Prepare, analyse and present monthly performance reports and trading KPIs, providing insights into trading performance, market trends, risk metrics and key commercial impact, and developing tools to improve in-house forecasts of wholesale commodity movements.
• Support senior management in the formulation, implementation and ongoing review of gas trading and hedging strategies, including monitoring fixed- and variable-price customer exposures across all Yuno Books to ensure consistency between systems of record and demand assumptions.
• Support senior management with gas tariff reviews for supply-side operations, including analysis of market conditions, costs and commercial impacts.
• Execute forward trades in electricity, gas, carbon and environmental certificates in line with the approved trading strategy and appropriate approvals, including flex trades on behalf of commercial customers, while maintaining strong broker and counterparty relationships and ensuring collateral is in place ahead of trading windows.
• Analyse the impact of new regulations and support new business opportunities, such as vertical integration and asset acquisitions.
• Develop, test and maintain internal systems, data pipelines and automated processes supporting trade reconciliation, trade administration (including trade logging, counterparty confirmations and EMIR/REMIT reporting where applicable) and other desk workflows, ensuring accurate, timely and auditable outputs.
