VAKT is disrupting the physical global energy trading industry. Built on a foundation of blockchain and AI, and backed by a consortium of oil majors (including Shell and TOTSA), trading houses (Gunvor, Mercuria) and price reporting agencies (Argus Media), VAKT sits at the intersection of deep commodity domain expertise and frontier technology. Our next chapter is VAKT Agentic Logistics - an autonomous, multi-agent AI system purpose-built for commodity operations desks. This is not a dashboard or a chatbot. It is eight specialised AI agents working autonomously across the operational layer that the industry still runs on email and spreadsheets: pre-ops scheduling, nomination management, document processing, contract compliance, vessel tracking, and post-ops coordination. The Role Reporting to a Product Manager (PM), the Business Analyst is the domain expert who turns complex physical oil trading workflows into clear, build-ready requirements for the development team. You will partner with the PM on discovery and delivery - owning requirements analysis, documentation and stakeholder elicitation - while the PM owns the product vision, roadmap and prioritisation decisions. Key Responsibilities Requirements analysis - elicit detailed business and user requirements through workshops, trader/operator shadowing and process analysis; capture them as user stories with clear acceptance criteria; Documentation - produce process flows, lifecycle event maps, data models and functional specifications that engineers and QA can build and test against; Stakeholder liaison - work day-to-day with Originators, trading desks, schedulers, operators and back-office (tax, market operations, compliance, legal) to surface needs and validate solutions; Backlog support - refine and groom backlog items with the PM and dev team; slice work into deliverable increments; Domain expertise - act as the team's SME on the physical oil trade lifecycle and the various Modes of Transport (MOTs). Domain Knowledge You should be comfortable as a peer with traders, operators and schedulers across the physical oil trade lifecycle, including: Trade lifecycle: trade capture, confirmations, nominations and scheduling, inspection and loading/discharge, actualisation, invoicing, demurrage and settlement; Modes of Transport (MOTs): marine (charter parties, NOR, SOF, BLs, laytime/demurrage), pipeline (nominations, batching, custody transfer), rail, truck and barge - plus multi-leg movements across storage; Commercial mechanics: Incoterms (FOB, CIF, CFR, DAP, etc), pricing structures and benchmarks (Dated Brent, WTI, Argus, Platts), inventory management and waterborne movements; Adjacent areas (helpful): P&L reporting, position management, funding, compliance, tax and insurance. Skills and Experience Previous experience as a Business Analyst, Product Owner or Project Manager in commodities or trading technology - or a minimum of 3 years as an oil products commercial operator / scheduler moving into a product role; Hands on knowledge of the physical oil trade lifecycle from execution through settlement, with exposure to multiple MOTs; Familiarity with CTRM/ETRM systems (RightAngle, Allegro, Endur or similar); Strong analytical and problem solving skills; able to work with data to derive insights and prioritise effectively; Detail oriented with a sense of urgency and accountability; able to multi task and respond to tight deadlines; Experience in Agile / Scrum teams (user stories, acceptance criteria, refinement, demos); Excellent verbal and written communication; comfortable working with remote teams across time zones; Nice to have: developing understanding of AI Intelligent Document Processing (IDP); exposure to blockchain / DLT or post trade digitisation; awareness of REMIT, EMIR, MiFID II or sanctions regimes. What We Offer A seat at the intersection of physical commodity trading and frontier technology - your work directly changes how the world's largest energy companies operate; A consortium backed company with the stability of major industry sponsors and the energy of a focused product organisation; A collaborative, low ego culture, with hybrid and flexible working, competitive compensation and a strong learning and wellbeing offer. If you're excited about this role or about working at VAKT, we'd love to hear from you.
