RWEST's expansion within the Asia-Pacific region has been rapid. Our Singapore trading floor is now home to around 80 colleagues and continues to grow. We have additional offices in China, Japan and Indonesia, and are building our footprint in Australia. As the business expands, we need a strong Market Risk team in Singapore to partner with the traders and ensure the resilience and continued success of our business in the whole Asia-Pacific region.
Back Office is responsible for the trade lifecycle management of all deals concluded by our Front Office. This includes sending out deal confirmations, managing margin and collateral payments, controlling balancing group accounts, sending out invoices and settling deals. We work closely with all major departments including the Trading Desks, Risk, Finance, Accounting and Legal. We have Back Office teams in Essen (Germany), Swindon (UK) and Singapore which support our traders in various offices across the globe: UK, Europe, China, Singapore, India, Japan, Indonesia and Australia.
In alignment with the commercial growth in the region, the Back Office Team in Singapore is also grown over the last couple of years and you would be the fourth person to join our Team.
The business in APAC is continuing to grow both in terms of the products we trade and the desks we support. We are currently looking to recruit for a Back Office Analyst position in Singapore, to enable us to actively contribute to growth initiatives in APAC by getting involved in ensuring readiness to trade, by preparing the relevant support and controls required to facilitate smooth daily operations for existing and new products and markets and by improving and automating processes to increase overall efficiency.

Details that make your life more enjoyable
A job at RWE Supply & Trading gives you the opportunity to join one of Europe's leading energy trading houses. Within Back Office you will gain a thorough understanding of RWESTs trading portfolio and work closely with many other departments supporting the trade lifecycle. We offer the opportunity to travel to our headquarters in Essen, Germany and sometimes even further afield. We also offer all our employees a wide variety of training opportunities. Once you have spent some time with us, your knowledge will have vastly developed and you will have influenced projects to help the team succeed. There are then opportunities to develop further within Back office, or within the wider RWEST family
Our offer
Working in our Singapore office provides the best of both worlds: the chance to join a leading European energy company, combined with the fast pace of a smaller start up.
We are a friendly team, with a strong focus on supporting one another to get the job done. We believe in continuous improvement and are always open to new ideas. You will be given responsibility from the word go, and will have the chance to influence the way we do things.
