About your role:
We are looking for a Market Risk Analyst to join our Group Financial Risk team! As a Market Risk Analyst within Centrica’s Group Financial Risk team, you’ll play a pivotal role in identifying, analysing, and communicating Group-level Market and Credit Risk exposures arising from our activities in commodity markets. Collaborating across all areas of the business, you’ll use Group-level risk models to assess portfolio-level risks and deliver insights that inform C-suite decision-making.
You’ll apply your market expertise to support modelling, review new transaction types, and provide ad hoc risk support to Business Units without dedicated Financial Risk functions.

Designing, maintaining, and operating Group-level risk models and methodologies.
Building strong relationships with Business Unit Risk teams to ensure alignment and collaboration.
Reviewing and enhancing market risk models and applications across the Group.
Preparing consolidated financial risk reports for senior leadership, combining Group and Business Unit insights.
Monitoring compliance with Group-level risk limits across market, liquidity, and credit domains.
Supporting senior management’s understanding of financial risk exposures.
Identifying process improvement opportunities aligned with Centrica’s finance transformation agenda.
Regularly reviewing and updating Group risk policies to reflect business growth.
Facilitating parental company guarantees for Centrica businesses.
Providing financial risk expertise to non-trading business units.
Contributing to the digitisation of risk processes.
Applying commodity market knowledge to develop stress testing scenarios.
Here's what we’re looking for:
Experience in commodity price risk management, preferably within the energy sector.
Strong grasp of risk management techniques (e.g. VaR, stress testing, option theory).
Proficiency in Microsoft tools (e.g. Power BI, Power Query).
A degree in an analytical or quantitative discipline.
Knowledge of financial risk governance, reporting, and controls.
Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.
Ability to navigate and analyse complex business structures.
Highly organised, hands-on, and detail-oriented.
Capable of producing high-quality work with minimal supervision.
