  • Support traders and originators in structuring commercial transactions, including development of pricing methodologies, exposure analysis, valuation approaches, sensitivities, and commercial recommendations.
  • Build analytical frameworks to assess LNG portfolio optimization opportunities across global gas markets, including sourcing, transportation, storage, shipping, and market placement decisions.
  • Develop and enhance pricing, valuation, and optimization models utilizing stochastic methods, scenario analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, and optimization techniques.
  • Analyze market relationships across LNG, natural gas, shipping, storage, and related commodity markets to identify drivers of value, portfolio optimization opportunities, and commercial risks.
  • Support valuation and risk assessment of long-term LNG contracts, spot transactions, shipping agreements, tolling arrangements, regasification agreements, and other structured commercial opportunities.
  • Advise traders and originators on hedging strategies and risk mitigation approaches by identifying hedgeable and residual exposures across LNG and related gas markets.
  • Provide independent valuation and quantitative challenge to proposed transactions, ensuring robust commercial decision-making and transparent risk assessment.
  • Conduct back-testing, model validation, parameter calibration, and assumption analysis to improve model accuracy, robustness, and commercial relevance.
  • Collaborate closely with quantitative analysts, technology teams, and data engineers to develop scalable and production-ready analytical solutions.
  • Create and maintain valuation tools, optimization frameworks, dashboards, and model infrastructure that improve transparency, efficiency, and front-office decision support.
