Success in this position requires strong analytical skills, meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to communicate effectively across multiple stakeholder groups.

Responsibilities

  • Draft, issue, and affirm trade confirmations for physical and financial deals in Power, Gas, and Oil markets, ensuring accuracy and compliance with internal and external standards.
  • Coordinate with Traders, Schedulers, Risk, Credit, and Legal teams to resolve discrepancies and validate trade terms.
  • Manage both short-form and long-form contract documentation, collaborating with Legal to finalize agreements and standardize language across counterparties.
  • Monitor and track outstanding confirmations to ensure timely execution and counterparty affirmation.

Trade & Data Reconciliation

  • Review and reconcile incoming counterparty and broker confirmations to firm records, identifying and resolving mismatches in trade terms, pricing, and volume.
  • Maintain audit trails and documentation to support trade compliance and reporting obligations.

  • Operational Oversight & Reporting

  • Generate daily, weekly, and monthly operational reports summarizing confirmation metrics, outstanding items, and key performance indicators.
  • Track and analyze operational errors or process gaps, implementing corrective measures and sharing best practices.
  • Support regulatory reporting, compliance attestations, and internal / external audits related to confirmations activity.
  • Continuous Improvement & Collaboration

  • Evaluate existing workflows and identify opportunities for process automation, efficiency, and risk reduction.
  • Partner with Technology and Operations teams to enhance system functionality and reduce manual touchpoints.
  • Participate in global initiatives to harmonize confirmations practices across commodities and regions.
  • Leadership, Team Oversight & Controls

  • Oversee daily confirmations workflow and queues across regions to ensure SLAs are met and backlogs are minimized.
  • Monitor and review daily control reports, KPIs, and aging dashboards; drive timely remediation of breaks, exceptions, and outstanding items.
  • Lead daily end-of-day checkouts; prioritize tasks, allocate work, and balance capacity across team members.
  • Perform quality reviews of confirmations output; coach, mentor, and develop analysts through feedback and targeted training.
  • Serve as escalation point for complex confirmations, disputes, or operational risk items; partner with Risk, Credit, Legal, and Front Office to resolve issues.
  • Maintain and enhance standard operating procedures and control documentation; support internal and external audits.
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, Business, Law, or related field.
  • 10+ years' experience in a confirmations or trade support role within the energy trading sector (Power, Gas, and / or Oil).
  • Prior experience with ETRM systems (e.g., CXL, Allegro, RightAngle, or similar)
  • Strong problem-solving and numerical analysis skills, with the ability to interpret complex trade data.
  • Exceptional attention to detail, accuracy, and follow-through.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills; able to liaise confidently with front office and external counterparties.
