Commodities Business Analyst / Project Manager – US Power & Gas

Engelhart • Houston, TX

4d • Hybrid

About The Position

Engelhart is looking to appoint an experienced and versatile BA/PM to strengthen and expand its Business Change capability, as we embark on a multi-year cross-company transformation programme while simultaneously continuing to grow our business, especially in physical power and gas. The multi-year programme aims to change our core technology architecture and embed a new operating model and ways of working. This role will sit within our Business Change function but will also work closely with our Business Management team coordinating US change initiatives across Power & Gas. The role will involve coordinating across teams, developing the new operating model and driving process transformation across the organisation. Following the acquisition of Trailstone in 2024, Engelhart has focused on integrating the two companies, whilst simultaneously expanding its business into new and more complex businesses across commodities markets. However, some legacy processes and systems remain. To enable further business growth, Engelhart is embarking on a programme to take its core platform and operating model to the next level. This BA/PM will work closely with stakeholders across front, middle and back office to challenge existing ways of working, design future‑state processes, and identify pragmatic paths to get there, often enabled by technology, data and automation. This is a business‑led role, acting as a trusted partner to key stakeholders to identify their needs while driving the company change agenda. This role will involve some travel between our Houston and Stamford offices, and has potential for international travel too. This will be a contracting position, with the potential to transition to a permanent role.
