Natural Gas Scheduler / Cash Trader
About The Position
As a Natural Gas Scheduler / Cash Trader on Intersect's Origination and Trading team, you'll manage daily physical next-day and intra-day cash trading alongside underlying pipeline nominations and logistics. In this remote, dual-function role, you'll balance physical positions and partner closely with the broader trading team to optimize pipeline transport capacity, storage, and fuel supply across regional hubs. You will serve as the commercial and operational execution engine for our natural gas desk, ensuring seamless alignment between trade capture, EBB pipeline schedules, and back-office settlement. Your active management of Operational Flow Orders (OFOs), imbalance cash-outs, and market inefficiencies will directly protect portfolio margins and drive long-run value.

- 3+ years of experience in physical natural gas scheduling, with at least 1 year actively executing intra-day/next-day physical gas trades.
- Strong physical natural gas scheduling experience on any pipeline network is required, with deep operational familiarity on NNG and NGPL being a strong plus.
- Operational experience with ETRM platforms, trade capture workflows, pipeline imbalance management, and transport settlement reconciliation.
- Availability to participate in a rotating weekend and evening on-call schedule to manage weekend gas flows, emergency OFO announcements, and pipeline cuts.
- Composure under tight operational deadlines, acute attention to detail, and a proactive, ownership-driven mindset.
- Alignment with Intersect's core values: Equity, Humility, Authenticity, Long-run Value, and People Come First.
Responsibilities
- Trade daily next-day and intra-day physical natural gas across regional hubs to meet portfolio supply/demand obligations and capture market inefficiencies.

- Monitor pipeline maintenance, Operational Flow Orders (OFOs), and capacity constraints, adjusting flows dynamically to prevent cuts or penalties.

- Track daily pipeline imbalances, line pack, and cash-out provisions to minimize financial risk and eliminate operational penalties.
- Capture all trades, transport contracts, and scheduled volumes accurately in the ETRM system in real time.
- Collaborate with back-office accounting and Market Risk teams to resolve transport invoice discrepancies, commodity bills, perform monthly true-ups, and maintain strict FERC/CFTC/NAESB compliance.
