About Us:

Vortexa was founded to solve the immense information gap that exists in the energy industry. By using massive amounts of new satellite data and pioneering work in artificial intelligence, Vortexa creates an unprecedented view of seaborne global energy flows in real-time, bringing transparency and efficiency to the energy markets and helping society as a whole.

The Role:

Vortexa combines deep domain expertise in the energy and shipping industries with advanced AI technology to provide users with actionable information and insights in real time.

As we continue our rapid growth, we are recruiting an oil market analyst, ideally with experience across the barrel (crude and petroleum products), as well as freight markets, and based in Singapore to join our Market Intelligence team. You will play a leading role in our data and market analytics, with a focus on the Asia Pacific region, but firmly part of a talented global team.

In this role, you will combine your deep market knowledge and analytical skills with our vast data resources and intuitive analytics platform to extract meaning, distill new trends ahead of others, and therefore provide unique market understanding to our users. Specific aspects of your analysis may include the analysis of trade flows, the relation to supply, demand and inventory changes, the pricing realm (oil prices and structure, arbitrage differentials, refining margins, freight costs), and the repercussions of shipping industry developments and fundamentals.

You will also work in close collaboration with market and data analyst colleagues in London, Dubai and Houston to build a complete view of the global oil and gas markets and identify the key implications and leading indicators of our data for our commodities and shipping clients.

Working to fulfill client requests on deadline in a fast-paced environment, you will provide customers with analytical support via weekly conference calls, presentations and succinct write-ups.

In addition, you will attend relevant industry events and take pride in building and maintaining a strong network of professional relationships.
