    Your Job

    INVISTA is seeking a Market Analyst to join our Propylene Team! As a key contributor, you will help shape and execute business strategies, deliver actionable market insights and drive long-term value creation for our propylene business. You will leverage your strong analytical skills, principled entrepreneurship, curiosity and the ability to collaborate across functions to maximize your contributions to this team. In this role, you'll have the autonomy to develop market perspectives, identify opportunities and challenge assumptions - all while fostering to a culture of continuous improvement and upholding Koch's values.

    Our Team

    Located in The Woodlands, Texas or at our Wichita, Kansas headquarters, you will collaborate with a diverse group of internal stakeholders and industry partners. Our team values integrity, open knowledge sharing, constructive challenge, and a commitment to achieving superior business outcomes.

    What You Will Do

    • Develop and maintain a well-informed point of view of propylene and propane markets based on supply/demand fundamentals and broader market dynamics. Your perspective directly informs our strategies - so it must be grounded in evidence, informed by multiple perspectives and open to constructive challenge.
    • Gather, analyze, and interpret data on market trends, competitor activity and pricing to inform commercial strategy and decision-making. Surface what matters, challenge what doesn''t add up and move fast when the market shifts.
    • Build and maintain analytical models and dashboards that create competitive advantage - whether that's capturing margin, optimizing inventory positions or structuring deals others can't see.
    • Shape the development and execution of business strategies and priorities for the Propylene Team. Bring forward opportunities and challenge plans that don't align with market reality.
    • Own analytical support for managing financial and physical inventory positions, margin optimization and risk management. Your analysis guides real decisions with real consequences - not theoretical exercises.
    • Conduct economic and marginal analysis to guide pricing and deal structure. Evaluate trade-offs, opportunity costs and when we're foregoing value -then make the case for action.
    • Develop and deliver regular market reports and presentations for senior leadership that are clear and actionable.
    • Collaborate across functions (e.g., supply chain, operations, finance, strategic business development, credit, risk) to maximize team performance and value creation. Bring your expertise, challenge when you see gaps and help others make better decisions.
    • Identify and act on opportunities to improve processes, eliminate waste and capture value others miss through data-driven insights. If you see inefficiency or a better way, you own bringing it forward and making it happen.
    • Share knowledge openly, solicit feedback and help teammates grow, contributing to a culture of integrity, accountability and continuous improvement.
