  • Provide commercial leadership on complex, high-value negotiations — setting strategy, leading counterparty engagement, and securing favourable terms on pricing, risk allocation, flexibility, and optionality.
  • Originate and manage a portfolio of counterparties, targeting both established and new markets to grow trading volumes and margin.
  • Oversee contract structuring and finalisation, partnering with Legal and Risk to ensure alignment with commercial objectives and regulatory requirements.
  • Build and maintain senior-level relationships with key LNG suppliers, buyers, portfolio players, and strategic partners, acting as a primary commercial point of contact.
  • Work closely with the Trading, LNG & Origination desks to assess portfolio fit, short- and medium-term exposure, and value of prospective deals.
  • Prepare and present deal proposals, market analysis, and business cases to senior management and investment/commitment committees.
  • Monitor global LNG and gas market fundamentals, pricing dynamics, and regulatory developments, translating insight into actionable commercial recommendations.
  • Mentor junior origination and trading staff and contribute to the broader development of the origination function.

 

Required Experience and Skills:

  • 5-10+ years of experience in LNG Origination, with a track record of leading and closing complex transactions.
  • Demonstrated network of counterparties across LNG buyers, sellers, portfolio players, and shipping/infrastructure stakeholders.
  • Experience negotiating SPAs, master trading agreements, and other long-form LNG/gas commercial contracts.
  • Prior exposure to deal structuring, pricing mechanisms, and risk allocation in LNG sale and purchase agreements.
  • Experience working cross-functionally with Trading, Legal, Shipping, Risk, and Finance teams.

Skills & Attributes

  • Excellent negotiation, stakeholder management, and communication skills, with credibility at senior/executive level.
  • Sound quantitative and contractual skills; comfortable with financial modelling and deal economics.
  • Self-motivated, resilient, and able to operate with autonomy in a fast-moving, global market.
  • Cultural fluency and comfort working across time zones with teams in London, Singapore, Houston, and other regional offices.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
