Job Description

Digital Transformation plays a critical role across Statkraft’s value chains. In Markets, reliable digital solutions, strong analytical capabilities and close collaboration between business and technology are essential to manage risk, support financial reporting and make well-informed commercial decisions. Many of our business-critical systems are developed and maintained in-house. We are looking for a Senior Business Analyst to join the team responsible for Beacon, our Portfolio and Risk Management platform, as well as the team responsible for Risk IT Tools, a suite of business-critical solutions that bridge business and IT and support risk analysts, quant teams, and developers. Together, these teams play a key role in enabling efficient risk management, reporting, analytics, and process automation across Statkraft's trading landscape. 

As a Senior Business Analyst you will:

• Act as a key link between Markets and IT, connecting business needs with effective digital solutions.
• Work with business users, quantitative analysts and developers to understand needs and translate them into clear requirements and acceptance criteria.
• Analyse financial models, valuation methodologies, quantitative calculations and business processes to support solution development.
• Coordinate dependencies between Beacon, internal models and the wider Risk IT landscape.
• Drive priorities and support delivery from initial business need through implementation, testing and validation.
• Support the continuous improvement of risk management, reporting, analytics and process automation solutions.
• Collaborate across multidisciplinary teams to ensure solutions work effectively across systems and meet business needs.

The position may be based in either Oslo or Düsseldorf, depending on the competence and profile of the successful candidate.

• Relevant experience in areas such as energy trading, derivatives, risk management, valuation, market or credit risk, or financial reporting.
• Practical Python experience for data analysis, investigation, prototyping or automation, and the ability to understand and discuss code with technical colleagues.
• A structured, hands-on approach with the ability to work independently, explore details and take ownership through implementation and validation.
• Excellent communication, facilitation and stakeholder-management skills, combined with experience working in agile, multidisciplinary teams.
• Higher education in engineering, computer science, mathematics, economics, finance or a related field, or equivalent professional experience. Fluency in English is required; proficiency in a Scandinavian language is an advantage.
