Business Analyst Developer (PL SQL)

Are you a passionate, entrepreneurially minded PLSQL developer who wants to build the analytical systems that orchestrate global energy flows? Do you thrive in a flat hierarchy, team-oriented environment that values ideas and individual contributions? Then we are looking for you to join us at Vitol!

We have developed our own Commodity Trading Risk Management (CTRM) system that covers all aspects of our business activities across the globe: from trade entry through middle-office with P&L reporting and price risk management down to invoicing and for whichever commodity we are trading: electricity, renewables, gas, crude oil, refined products, biofuels, or carbon certificates. Vitol is unique in the energy trading world in making our CTRM the core of our business processes that everyone at Vitol works with, often on a daily basis.
As a member of the CTRM team, located in Geneva, Switzerland, you will:

Build a new exciting Master Data platform, unifying all our applications and integrating them with a common set of entities – examples: locations, vessels, contracts and others.
Analyse the business and understand what use-cases are required for the disparate systems and how to best design for them.
Actively contribute to the development of our core system by developing new features based on user requirements to meet our evolving business needs
Work closely with a wide range of users to identify & prioritize requirements and design technical solutions
Maintain & further improve system modules, including the ones you will help build but also existing ones
Our core technologies, including PL/SQL and Oracle Forms Builder, are still an important part of what we do, and they have enabled the Vitol success story. When you join, you will work with our established technologies to get familiar with the data model and business logic, and quickly start adding value to our business. For those interested, we will also create opportunities further down the line to be part of this important technology migration.
