East Natural Gas Trader

About the Role

Exxon Mobil’s Americas Gas & Power Trading group is looking for a Natural Gas Trader to join our East Region Book, reporting directly to East Book Lead. This is a seat at one of the largest energy companies in the world, with access to a physical asset base, supply portfolio, and market intelligence that independent trading houses simply cannot replicate. You will be responsible for trading physical natural gas across the East U.S. market spanning from Texas, Gulf, and Southeast to the Northeast - managing daily cash and forward positions, building and optimizing term deals, analyzing supply/demand fundamentals, and developing counter party relationships across producers, utilities, pipelines, and end-users.

You will work in close coordination with scheduling, risk, and origination and market analytics teams to maximize the value of Exxon Mobil’s East region book.

• Execute physical natural gas trades across prompt and near‑term markets in the Eastern U.S., including key hubs and basis markets relevant to the region
• Manage and optimize physical gas transport and storage assets, ensuring maximum value creation
• Develop and manage counter party relationships with producers and end‑users

• Collaborate with scheduling, risk management, origination, and market analytics teams to optimize book positioning
• Contribute to the growth and development of the East region book in alignment with the broader Americas Gas & Power strategy

• 3+ years of experience in physical natural gas trading
• Understanding of Eastern U.S. gas markets, infrastructure, and basin dynamics
• Demonstrated analytical ability and commercial instinct
• Collaborative mindset — this role is about building something, not just running a position
