  • Participate in diverse business development initiatives to identify new value sources from both internal and external financial partners.
  • Champion and enhance PRM's internal execution platform.
  • Drive both short-term and medium-term strategic initiatives.
  • Maintain strict compliance with all Shell Policies & Procedures, the Code of Conduct, and the Compliance Manual.
Qualifications:
  • Legal authorization to work in the US on a full-time basis for any employer other than the current one.
  • A Bachelor's degree or equivalent relevant experience is required.
  • A minimum of 5 years of experience in crude and/or products derivatives trading.
  • Proven track record in energy commodities derivatives trading, including initiating, implementing, and managing significant positions/strategies that have consistently yielded substantial profitability over the years.
  • Experience in metals trading is highly advantageous.
  • Background in business development, particularly in deal structuring and relationship management with third parties, is a strong plus.
  • Demonstrated focus on profitability and proficiency in risk and exposure management.
  • Exceptional interpersonal skills, professional maturity, and a strong work ethic are essential for success in this role. A proven history of effectively engaging with customers and stakeholders to negotiate and finalize deals is required.
  • A proactive self-starter with strong problem-solving skills and commercial insight, capable of adapting trading strategies in a fast-paced and evolving market environment. Team collaboration is vital.

The base salary range for this position is competitive and commensurate with experience. In addition to salary, employees enjoy a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision coverage, life insurance, and participation in a pension plan and 401(k) plan. Paid leave includes generous vacation time, paid holidays, and parental leave options. Additional benefits may include financial reimbursement for various personal and professional development expenses.
