As part of your role supporting the Structuring team, you will work alongside sales and trading to value and structure complex transactions with a primary focus on natural gas.

- A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a technical field (e.g. Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, Finance, Engineering, or Computer Science)
