Engelhart was founded in 2013 by BTG Pactual Group as a commodities trading company. Our business model is “asset light” and highly diversified – giving us the ability to adapt effectively and nimbly to changing market conditions. We have assembled successful multidisciplinary teams, leveraging advanced fundamental analysis with deep quantitative and weather research capabilities. Our activities are underpinned by strong risk management practices and by powerful technology and operational excellence. We have exceptional teams with diverse global backgrounds and decades of experience, and are driven by a highly collaborative culture, across products and competencies.
In 2024, Engelhart acquired Trailstone, a global energy trading and technology company. The acquisition provides us with new expertise, analytics and proprietary technology which is being used to provide risk management and optimisation services to help maximise the value of our clients’ renewable power. The acquisition also expanded Engelhart’s capabilities into physical natural gas across North America, a critical fuel to support the energy transition.
Our talented and experienced individuals work together according to its four company values: Performance, Agility, Collaboration, Entrepreneurship.
About the Role
Engelhart is looking to appoint an experienced Business Analyst to strengthen and expand its Business Change capability as it embarks on a multi-year cross-company transformation programme. This programme aims to change the core technology architecture and embed a new operating model and ways of working, including developing a centralised market data platform. This Business Analyst role will sit within our Business Change function, focusing on developing the new operating model across the organisation, with a particular focus on designing and driving the future-state market data platform.
Following the acquisition of Trailstone in 2024, Engelhart has focused on integrating the two companies, whilst simultaneously expanding its business into new and more complex businesses across commodities markets. However, some legacy processes and systems remain. To enable further business growth, Engelhart is embarking on a programme to take its core platform and operating model to the next level.
This role will work closely with stakeholders across front, middle and back office to challenge existing ways of working, design future‑state processes and identify solutions for market data problems. This role will also partner closely with the Data team in Technology to gather requirements for the future state.
This will be a contracting position, with the potential to transition to a permanent role, and will own the following responsibilities:
- Partnering with stakeholders across front office, middle office and back office teams to understand current‑state processes, pain points and constraints.
- Facilitating workshops and stakeholder discussions to challenge existing ways of working and support teams in defining a clear, forward-thinking future state.
- Acting as a bridge between business teams and technology, ensuring that business needs and outcomes remain central, while also driving delivery of activities.
- Defining business requirements for the ingestion, cleansing, validation, transformation and distribution of external market data feeds, trader marks and other market data.
- Translating business needs into technology requirements.
- Understanding, prioritising and coordinating market data initiatives to shape a coherent future state.
- Identifying opportunities to drive the operating model into the future, especially enabled by technology, data, automation or AI.
- Contributing to a portfolio of change initiatives, helping to prioritise work and align improvements with strategic objectives.
- Supporting the development of Engelhart’s change capability by introducing analysis best practices.

- Ability to collaborate with stakeholders, constructively challenging assumptions while building trust and alignment.
- Experience working with technology‑enabled and data-driven change, including automation and AI.
- Excellent communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to translate complex topics into clear, actionable technology solutions.
- Curious and improvement‑oriented, with a natural inclination to ask “why” and “what could be better”.
The following knowledge and experience is not explicitly required for application, but highly desirable for this role:
- Understanding of how market data integrates into CTRMs, risk engines and analytics platforms.
- Experience working with or alongside third-party market data tools and platforms.
