Trade Analyst-Houston, TX

Trade Analyst - Houston, TX

iSphere is looking for a Trade Analyst for a 12+ month onsite opportunity in Houston.

This role is all about making sure the trades and physical movements in the system actually match what happened. The client needs someone who is detail-oriented enough to catch discrepancies, comfortable working directly with traders and schedulers, and not intimidated by a fast-moving trade floor where daily deadlines really are daily.

You will support the US trading desk by entering trader deals, confirming activity against trader recaps and broker confirmations, monitoring internal transactions, and working through pricing, volume, and contractual discrepancies when something does not line up.

You will also spend time in the Discrepancy Error Workbench working with Trading and Scheduling to get issues resolved quickly. In this environment, “close enough” is still wrong, so accuracy matters.

What we need:

• 1+ year of experience in Commercial, Trading support, or a related Commercial Support function

• Strong Excel skills

• Experience working with trade capture systems, ideally S4 and/or Trade66

• Strong attention to detail and accuracy

• Ability to work under pressure with daily deadlines and deliverables

• Analytical skills to identify and explain data anomalies

• Strong documentation skills

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• Ability to work across multiple teams in an open trade floor environment

• Associate degree

You should be comfortable working directly with Trading, Scheduling, Commercial Business Services, and Risk, and willing to chase down the details when a trade, price, volume, or contract term does not match what everyone expected.

If you are the kind of person who notices the one number that does not belong and cannot leave it alone until you know why, we should talk.
