Role Overview

We are seeking a Quantitative Analyst to join our high-performing front office Valuation and Structuring team focused on LNG trading, portfolio optimization, and structured LNG transactions. This role involves providing clear, independent, commercial valuation insights, particularly in modeling and pricing complex physical and financial optionality embedded in our LNG portfolio.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver fair valuations and independent risk assessments for LNG deals encompassing DES/FOB cargoes, storage/reload options, destination flexibility, shipping economics, and structured LNG contracts, capturing logistical, contractual, volume, and market optionalities.
• Assist traders and originators in designing trade structures including cargo optimization, destination/exercise criteria, pricing indices (JKM, TTF, Henry Hub, oil-linked), and mapping of exposures, sensitivities, and optionality value drivers.
• Develop models and analytical tools for LNG portfolios capable of simulating cargo scheduling, shipping optimization, regasification constraints, and cross-basin arbitrage using probabilistic, scenario-based, and optimization methodologies.
• Contribute analytic insight into large-scale global projects such as long-term LNG supply agreements, cross-basin portfolio optimization, and the integration of downstream gas and power markets.
• Advise on hedging methods for complex LNG exposures across key hubs, identifying hedgeable versus residual risks related to basis, logistics, and timing optionality.
• Perform back-testing, validate assumptions, research parameters including calibration of illiquid LNG curves, volatility, freight dynamics, and cross-basin correlations.
• Collaborate with quant modeling, technology, and data teams to ensure rigorous model implementation and integration within front office tools to support portfolio optimization and cargo decision workflows.

Candidate Profile

• Advanced quantitative background (Master's/PhD preferred) with experience in LNG, gas, or commodity valuation, structuring, or optimization in front office roles.
• Deep expertise in LNG valuation models, cargo optimization, shipping/destination optionality, option pricing, and curve/volatility modeling.
• Proficiency in Python programming for pricing tools, optimization routines, and developing scalable portfolio analytics.
• Excellent communication skills to clearly explain complex valuation, logistics, and optionality concepts to traders and commercial teams.
• Experience in calibrating parameters and conducting back-tests for LNG and gas optionality models.
• Strong knowledge of global LNG markets including Atlantic and Pacific basin dynamics, associated shipping and regasification infrastructure, contract structures, and pricing mechanisms across JKM, TTF, and Henry Hub.
• Insight into Asia Pacific LNG market conditions with Singapore’s pivotal role as a regional trading hub and exposure to cross-basin arbitrage flows.
• Meticulous attention to detail, disciplined documentation practices, and a proactive approach to continuous improvement.
