Oil Analyst • Entry-Level

Who you are

You have 1-3 years of experience in a relevant role at a top-tier trading house, oil major, bank, or hedge fund — you understand the intricacies of financial markets and have a keen interest in commodities. Your educational background includes a Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in finance, economics, or a similar quantitative discipline, equipping you with the analytical skills necessary for this role.

Exceptional quantitative and programming skills are your forte — you are proficient in Python and SQL, allowing you to manipulate data effectively and develop robust models. You possess strong written and oral communication skills, enabling you to articulate complex ideas clearly and collaborate effectively with team members and stakeholders.

Critical thinking and a strong attention to detail are second nature to you — you approach problems with an independent mindset and are motivated to innovate and improve processes. Your intellectual curiosity drives you to explore cross-commodity opportunities, including Gas & Power, Precious Metals, and Base Metals.

You thrive in a high-energy, time-sensitive team environment — your ability to work collaboratively with others while managing multiple tasks is a key strength. You are eager to learn from senior risk takers across Fixed Income, FX, and Equities, and you are committed to developing your expertise in the commodities space.

Desirable

A background in relationship management with Bank Research and Sales desks, as well as experience working with data vendors, would be advantageous. Familiarity with the oil products market and a genuine interest in financial markets will set you apart as a candidate.

What you'll do

In your role as an Oil Products Analyst, you will initially focus on developing a supply and demand model for the Atlantic Basin Diesel market — this foundational work will set the stage for expanding your analysis into all Oil Products and Crude globally. You will collaborate closely with the Portfolio Manager, supporting them in relationship management with Bank Research and Sales desks, ensuring that you are well-informed and able to provide valuable insights.

As you build out your expertise, you will have the opportunity to look cross-commodity, exploring areas such as Gas & Power, Precious Metals, and Base Metals — this will not only enhance your analytical skills but also broaden your understanding of the commodities landscape. Your contributions will be integral to the Swiss Macro team, where you will gain exposure to senior risk takers and learn from their experience in navigating complex financial markets.

You will be responsible for analyzing market trends and data, providing actionable insights that will inform investment strategies — your ability to synthesize information and present it clearly will be crucial in this role. You will also engage in continuous learning, seeking out new methodologies and approaches to improve your models and analyses.
