- Provide daily independent performance commentary to the Board, offering insights into the Biofuels trading desk's operations, profit and loss, and trading strategies. - Ensure rigorous risk control and performance measurement practices, playing a pivotal role in maintaining the desk's financial health. - Identify and communicate potential operational, credit, and liquidity risks to the Front Office, enabling informed decision-making and risk mitigation. - Enhanced the onboarding process for new team members by creating training exercises that simulate daily procedures, fostering a better understanding of commodity trading dynamics.

IT - Developed Advanced Excel, VBA and Microstrategy skills. In addition used industry specific software such as Endur. Presentation - Gave fortnightly and monthly updates on the trading desks performance to the head of Risk and to other departments. Analytical - Developed an understanding of the factors that drove daily changes in market prices and how this impacted P&L for the desk.

Daily reporting on Biofuels desk performance, this report would be sent directly to the board in order to be scrutinised. Tasked with improving existing systems and processes to ensure Risk department was able to perform and successfully mitigate old and new risks when making business decisions or developing a trading strategy. Tasked with improving the onboarding process to ensure my successor was able to take over my position without impacting the team.

Was immediately tasked with reporting the Desk daily P&L with limited support. This led to multiple published errors and missed deadlines at the start. I raised this and has now been resolved.

Fantastic company culture, was able to work with various departments as well as used HR schemes where I could meet individuals from various parts of the company as well as those in other RWE subsidiary's. A highlight was meeting the head of Structuring and Valuation. I was also able to participate in company 5/7 a side football twice a week as well as play in company golf/cricket tournaments.

Fantastic opportunity which I would recommend to everyone
