Trading & Operations Data Analyst

Office-based | 9:00am–5:30pm (37.5 hrs) | £30,000–£35,000 |
Driving licence preferred | Training provided

Are you someone who cares about data quality, enjoys getting into the detail, and wants to work closer to real trading and operational decisions?

We’re looking for a Trading & Operations Data Analyst to join our Trading & Risk function within a regulated UK fuel and energy trading environment.

This role is suitable for:

• early-career analysts looking to build strong foundations, or

• experienced data analysts who may not have worked in trading or energy before but bring strong core skills, curiosity, and the right attitude.

Full training will be provided in our systems, processes, and trading environment.

What you’ll be doing

• Validating and reconciling trading and operational data

• Supporting daily, weekly, and monthly trading and operational reporting

• Ensuring data is accurate, consistent, and clearly explained

• Maintaining documentation and audit trails

• Identifying data issues and supporting process improvements

• Working closely with Trading, Operations, Finance, Compliance, and IT

What matters most to us

Essential:

• Strong analytical and numerical capability

• Solid Excel skills (formulas, pivot tables; Power Query a plus)

• A careful, methodical approach to working with data

• Willingness to ask questions, learn, and adapt

• Genuine interest in how trading and operations work

Experience we welcome (but don’t require):

• Previous data analyst experience in any sector

• Exposure to operations, finance, logistics, or regulated environments

• Experience with Power BI, SQL, Tableau, or similar tools

• Knowledge of energy, commodities, or trading (helpful, not essential)

A full UK driving license is preferred, as occasional travel between company sites may be required.

What we offer

• £30,000–£35,000 salary depending on experience

• Training and support tailored to your background

• Exposure to real trading and operational data

• A role where data accuracy genuinely matters

• Clear development opportunities as the function grows

We’re more interested in how you think and how you work than whether you’ve done this exact role before. If you bring strong core skills, curiosity, and care about doing things properly, we’re happy to train you.
