  • Team Collaboration: This role thrives in a collaborative atmosphere where teamwork is essential. Candidates should be able to adjust their communication style to engage effectively with colleagues and stakeholders globally.
  • Accountability: In trading, calculated risks and thoughtful decision-making are crucial. Candidates should demonstrate responsibility for their choices and adhere to all relevant regulations, embodying Shell's values of honesty, integrity, and respect.
