Business Transformation Analyst in Genf

Business Transformation Analyst

IXM is one of the largest traders of physical non-ferrous metals and plays a key commercial role at each stage of the metals supply chain fueling the energy transition. IXM’s expert local teams provide global coverage for tailored sourcing, risk management, logistics and financing solutions to its wide network of clients in the metals industry.

The Role

IXM builds its own operational software – trading, logistics, risk – rather than buying it. The build team is small, part of the wider Tech function, and works embedded with the business. Plenty of the firm still runs on email, spreadsheets and people’s memory. You’ll help find those processes and replace them with tools the traders and operations teams actually use.

What You’ll Do

• Map manual processes – P&L calculations, document handling, email-driven workflows – and automate them end to end.
• Build tools people adopt. If a trader goes back to their spreadsheet, the tool failed.
• Pick the right tool for the job: a macro, a Python script, a proper application, or an LLM. Don’t over-engineer.
• Use LLMs where they earn their keep: extracting prices, quantities and commitments from unstructured counterparty emails and documents, at volume, with the controls a trading environment demands.
• Build agents that take routine work off people’s plates, and the checks that make them trustworthy.
• Measure what you ship in hours saved and P&L moved, and report it straight.

Education, Skills and Experience

• Degree in computer science, engineering, physics or a similar quantitative field
• 0–2 years’ experience
• Solid Python, with real automation work behind it (personal projects count)
• Hands‑on with LLM APIs and agentic tooling
• Excel/VBA – the business runs on it; you’ll need to read it and occasionally write it
• SQL and basic data handling
• Useful extras: document parsing, web scraping, workflow automation

The Ideal Candidate

• Treats every project as something that has to pay for itself
• Finds problems without being pointed at them, and solves them without waiting
• Prefers simple solutions that work over elegant ones that don’t
• Picks up how a trading desk operates quickly, and asks when they don’t understand
• Can explain a technical choice to a trader in two sentences
• Comfortable in a small team shipping fast inside a large trading house
• Trading or finance background is a plus, not a requirement
• Based in Geneva or willing to relocate
