Overview

Why This Role Matters

Energy and Commodities (E&C) Trading organisations have invested heavily in E/CTRM platforms over the last two decades. Yet the organisations creating real competitive advantage today are not simply the ones with the best trading systems. They are the ones building the data ecosystems, user experiences and intelligent decision-support capabilities around them. As the industry accelerates towards AI-enabled operations and increasingly data-driven trading models, the focus is shifting from system implementation to enterprise-wide trading transformation.

Publicis Sapient partners with many of the world's leading Energy Trading organisations to navigate that shift. Our teams work across the full trading technology landscape, helping clients modernise ETRM estates, architect data-led ecosystems and unlock greater value from their trading platforms. This creates opportunities for experienced practitioners to apply their expertise beyond traditional package implementation, influencing how the next generation of trading organisations operate, scale and compete.

As Senior ETRM Architect at Publicis Sapient, you will utilise your deep ETRM architecture expertise, technical consulting capabilities and practical delivery experience to help clients modernise and evolve their Energy Trading technology ecosystems across multiple commodities such as Oil, Gas and Power. Working at the intersection of business, technology and transformation, you will play a key role in shaping and delivering next-generation Energy Trading and Risk Management solutions that support data-led architectures, AI-enabled operating models and the future of energy trading.

As Senior ETRM Architect you will operate in a senior hands-on delivery role, not a governance-only position. You will spend the majority of your time working inside client Endur programmes across derivatives and physical trading, from solution design through to configuration, integration and go-live.
