- Lead and execute LNG commercial and accounting system implementations, with emphasis on Energy Components (or comparable LNG commercial platforms).
- Design and optimize LNG business processes including:
- Cargo lifecycle management (contracts → nominations → scheduling → lifting → settlement)
- LNG pricing, invoicing, and revenue recognition
- Inventory, imbalance, and accrual accounting
- Vessel scheduling, laytime, and demurrage
- Support greenfield LNG projects by helping clients stand up LNG commercial operations and supporting systems from FID through first cargo.
- Translate LNG commercial and accounting requirements into system configurations and technical solutions.
- Manage project teams and client stakeholders through complex LNG-focused implementations and transformations.
- Identify gaps in client processes or systems and provide practical, LNG-specific solutions.
Desired Skills & Experience:
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Engineering, Information Systems, or other applicable degree.
- 8 years of experience in LNG commercial operations, accounting, or system implementations within consulting, operations, or technology solutions firm.
- Direct experience with relevant software utilized by LNG operators, with an emphasis on Energy Components experience
- Strong understanding of LNG business fundamentals including:
- SPA structures and pricing
- Cargo economics and margin analysis
- LNG revenue recognition and accounting treatment
- Scheduling, nominations, and logistics
- Experience supporting large LNG operators or greenfield LNG projects.
- Proven experience leading or significantly contributing to system implementations or business process transformations.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
- Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
- Ability to work independently and in a team environment.
