Valuation and Structuring Quant Analyst, LNG

What you will do

Develop, implement, and maintain quantitative valuation and optimization models supporting LNG trading, portfolio management, structured transactions, and commercial decision-making. Partner directly with LNG traders, originators, and structuring teams to provide real-time valuation, optionality analysis, and quantitative support for commercial opportunities. Evaluate and price embedded optionality across LNG supply and offtake agreements, destination flexibility, cargo diversion rights, volume tolerances, storage agreements, shipping portfolios, and regasification capacity. Support traders and originators in structuring commercial transactions, including development of pricing methodologies, exposure analysis, valuation approaches, sensitivities, and commercial recommendations. Build analytical frameworks to assess LNG portfolio optimization opportunities across global gas markets, including sourcing, transportation, storage, shipping, and market placement decisions. Develop and enhance pricing, valuation, and optimization models utilizing stochastic methods, scenario analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, and optimization techniques. Analyze market relationships across LNG, natural gas, shipping, storage, and related commodity markets to identify drivers of value, portfolio optimization opportunities, and commercial risks. Support valuation and risk assessment of long-term LNG contracts, spot transactions, shipping agreements, tolling arrangements, regasification agreements, and other structured commercial opportunities. Advise traders and originators on hedging strategies and risk mitigation approaches by identifying hedgeable and residual exposures across LNG and related gas markets. Provide independent valuation and quantitative challenge to proposed transactions, ensuring robust commercial decision-making and transparent risk assessment.
