  • Maintain a strong audit trail and document management best practice in the electronic tracking and logging of contracts and all related documents and correspondence.
  • Ensure that best practice contract management is applied at all critical control points.
  • Identify potential problems; address issues as they arise, monitoring and escalating where appropriate.
  • Assist with GT&C reviews.
  • Identify process gaps and assist in the implementation of process and system enhancements.
  • Contribute to risk management goals and support synergies across functions.
  • Contribute to the effectiveness of the team through close collaboration with colleagues and the sharing of information, skills and responsibilities.
  • Special projects, as and when required.


ESSENTIAL EXPERIENCE REQUIRED:


  • Experience as a Contracts Analyst within the physical commodities sector, preferably in waterborne oil contracts.
  • Prior experience in standardised Confirmation processes a plus but not essential.
  • Strong understanding of contract lifecycle management.
