Gas Analyst

Venture Search is hiring a Gas Analyst in the UK to support trading desks with real-time analytics and market modeling. The role involves developing quantitative models for gas flows and price forecasting, utilizing statistical and machine learning methods, and collaborating with traders. Key responsibilities include maintaining datasets and supporting automated data systems. The position is full-time with no degree requirement specified.
Company Overview:

We’re working with a fast-moving proprietary trading firm known for its strong quantitative culture and market-driven approach. With growing exposure across European gas markets, the firm is looking to hire a commercially minded Gas Analyst to support its trading desks with real-time analytics and robust market modelling.

Role Overview:

This role sits directly alongside the trading team and leans heavily toward quantitative modelling and data-driven forecasting. That said, a solid grounding in fundamentals — flows, storage, infrastructure, and regulatory impact — is essential to contextualize and validate modelling outputs.

Key Responsibilities:
• Develop and refine quantitative models for gas flows, storage, and price forecasting across key European hubs (TTF, NBP, VTP, PEG, etc.)
• Use statistical, machine learning, and time series methods to build predictive tools that drive trading decisions
• Maintain and enhance datasets covering fundamentals: interconnectors, LNG imports, outages, demand forecasts, and weather
• Collaborate closely with traders to translate analysis into actionable ideas and trading strategies
• Support automated data pipelines, dashboards, and alert systems for live market monitoring
• Backrest trading signals and quantify their historical and theoretical edge
