The key deliverables for this role are measuring and monitoring the region\xe2\x80\x99s Market Risk Exposure from crude, feedstocks and products. These would include but not limited to the following functions:

• Measure forecast accuracy to assess reasonableness of data used for exposure management and decision making
• Publish routine reports to management and stakeholders
• Contribute to the roll out of Global Price Exposure Management Policy
• Collaborate with onshore risk management teams for business process integrity, accuracy and continuous improvement opportunities

The most demanding type of decision to be made by this role is to ensure that exposure data measurement is completed timely and accurately. This is a very time-sensitive function. Many decision-making activities done above this role will be highly dependent on data provided by this role not only from a day-to-day operational perspective but also from a historical trend analysis requirement.

The role involves identifying and flagging exposures that seem abnormal. It includes deep dive analysis to understand where changes arise. This also involves personal decision in terms of whether or not any abnormalities are indeed valid.

The timeliness of both items above is critical in managing business exposure.

Early detection of structural business changes that may be evident in data collection and data trend analysis will always be a critical decision-making function for this role.

The role also involves stakeholder engagement to understand reasons behind changes in data. Sometimes this is not forthcoming from business, so there is a need to decide on materiality of some information.
