Job title: Senior Business Analyst – Physical Trading / NEM
A market-leading energy business is looking for a Senior Business Analyst with genuine Physical Trading Markets experience to partner with their Physical Markets Trading team on a high-impact body of work.
This is not a generalist BA role. You’ll be working shoulder-to-shoulder with physical markets traders, so you need to genuinely understand what a day in the life of a physical markets trader looks like, how decisions get made on the desk, and the data and tooling they rely on to operate.
What you’ll bring
You’ll have deep, hands-on knowledge of the National Electricity Market (NEM): how the marketplace actually works, dispatch, settlement, bidding, and the rhythms of the trading day. You’ll have worked on AER physical trading-related initiatives and understand the regulatory backdrop traders operate within.
You’ll bring strong exposure to high-end energy markets and the commercial dynamics that drive them. Critically, you’ll have worked on battery integrations, whether that’s retail batteries (VPP, behind-the-meter) or large-scale grid batteries, and you’ll understand state of charge, why it matters commercially and operationally, and how it feeds into trading decisions and market participation.
Day-to-day you’ll be:
- Eliciting requirements directly from physical markets traders and translating trading workflows into clear, actionable specifications
- Mapping current and future state processes across trading, dispatch, and battery operations
- Producing functional and non-functional requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria
- Working closely with engineering, data, and product teams to shape solutions
- Facilitating workshops with technical and commercial stakeholders
- Supporting testing, UAT coordination, and go-live activities
- Documenting trading logic, market interfaces, and integration points with downstream systems
About you
- Proven Senior BA experience delivering in physical trading / energy markets environments
- Deep working knowledge of the NEM
- AER physical trading experience
- Battery integration experience (utility-scale)
- Strong understanding of state of charge and its commercial significance
- Comfortable operating in a fast-paced trading environment alongside commercially sharp stakeholders
- Excellent stakeholder management, workshop facilitation, and documentation skills
- Australian working rights essential
The offer
Rate up to $1100/day + GST.
Long contract with a respected energy player, working on genuinely interesting market and battery integration work.
