ETRM Business Analyst
Energy Trading Implementation
Current Houston, TX Candidates Only
25% remote
6+ month contract
If you’ve ever sat in a room with traders and thought, “That’s not how the system should handle that trade,” this role is probably for you.
We’re looking for a hands on ETRM Business Analyst who understands energy trading from the inside out. Not just how it’s supposed to work on paper, but how it actually flows from trade capture to settlement to accounting and how P&L behaves along the way.
This role sits close to the business. You’ll be partnering directly with trading, risk, credit, operations, and finance teams. The vendor will handle technical configuration, but you’ll own the functional side. Requirements. Validation. Testing. Reality checks.
This is not a documentation only position. You’ll be in the system. Testing scenarios. Walking through trade lifecycle flows. Validating MTM and daily P&L. Asking the uncomfortable but necessary questions when something doesn’t reflect real world trading.
Must haves
• 5 to 8+ years of experience as an ETRM or Trading Business Analyst
• Strong knowledge of physical and or financial energy trading workflows
• Solid understanding of MTM, realized and unrealized P&L, and valuation concepts
• Experience supporting trading system implementations or major enhancements
• Strong UAT leadership experience including planning and scenario design
• Ability to work directly with business stakeholders and confidently challenge vendors when needed
Nice to have
• Experience in a wholesale energy trading environment
• Exposure to credit and counterparty limit workflows
• Experience migrating from a legacy ETRM platform
You’ll be mapping and validating full trade lifecycle processes, translating business requirements into clear functional specs, identifying gaps, supporting data migration and reconciliation, and helping ensure the system truly supports how the business operates.
At iSphere, we value professionals who aren’t afraid to lean in and ask the right questions. This role requires someone who understands trading mechanics, communicates clearly, and takes ownership of outcomes.
If you’re in Houston and enjoy sitting at the intersection of trading reality and system design, we should talk.
