REMIT SME / Business Analyst

We are seeking an experienced REMIT SME / Business Analyst to support a European energy/commodities organisation in assessing, strengthening and implementing its REMIT compliance framework across multiple branches. The role requires a combination of REMIT regulatory knowledge, commodities/trading domain expertise and hands-on implementation experience. The successful candidate should be able to translate regulatory requirements into practical operating processes and controls, rather than providing purely legal or policy advice.

Responsibilities

• Perform a current-state assessment and gap analysis of existing REMIT processes, controls and operating practices across relevant branches and functions.
• Translate REMIT requirements into practical business and operational requirements, including processes, controls, procedures, governance, roles and responsibilities.
• Assess consistency of REMIT implementation across different locations/functions and identify areas of regulatory or operational risk.
• Work with Front Office, Compliance, Operations, Technology, Risk and other stakeholders to define the target-state REMIT operating model.
• Define and prioritise remediation actions and workstreams, supporting the development of an actionable implementation roadmap.
• Support and, where appropriate, lead remediation through design, implementation and closure, ensuring recommendations are translated into sustainable operational processes.
• Review areas such as transaction and fundamental data reporting, market conduct/market abuse controls, inside information and disclosure obligations, where applicable to the client's activities.
• Define business requirements and support changes to processes, controls, data and systems required to achieve compliance.
• Produce appropriate documentation and evidence to support internal governance, Compliance and audit/regulatory reviews.
• Coordinate across branches to drive a consistent approach to REMIT compliance while recognising legitimate local or business-specific requirements.

Skills

• MUST HAVE: Strong practical knowledge of REMIT and European energy/commodity market regulation.
• Experience within energy and/or commodities trading, with an understanding of the trade lifecycle and associated operational processes.
• Demonstrable experience translating regulation into business processes, controls and operating procedures.
• Experience performing regulatory gap assessments, implementation programmes, audit/compliance assessments and/or regulatory remediation.
• Strong Business Analysis capabilities, including requirements gathering, process mapping, gap analysis and stakeholder management.
• Ability to work effectively with Compliance, Front Office/Trading, Operations and Technology stakeholders.
• Experience working across multiple legal entities, branches or jurisdictions would be advantageous.

Nice to have

• Working experience with Endur (trading system) and SCILA (surveillance).
• Knowledge of EMIR and other European transaction/regulatory reporting regimes, particularly where experience is transferable to REMIT.
• Understanding of REMIT reporting processes, data requirements and interaction with Registered Reporting Mechanisms (RRMs) and ACER.
• Experience with market surveillance, market abuse controls and regulatory reporting controls within commodities/energy trading.
• Previous involvement in regulatory remediation following an internal audit, compliance review or regulatory assessment.
• Experience working within Switzerland and/or supporting European organisations with cross-border operations.
