Job Overview
The S&P Global Energy Commercial and Customer Experience Graduate Program offers ambitious graduates the chance to launch their careers at the center of the global energy and commodities industry. Although the journey begins with a rigorous five-week onboarding experience in London, this phase is strictly designed for orientation and immersive training. Once completed, participants will return to Abuja, where the main program is based.
Following onboarding, graduates will spend three months embedded within the EMEA Customer Success Team. During this period, participants will develop a strong understanding of commodity markets while sharpening core commercial and business skills. The role involves learning the ins and outs of S&P Global Energy’s research platforms, pricing intelligence, and analytical tools. As part of the Customer Success function, associates become trusted points of contact for clients—delivering timely solutions, conducting product training sessions virtually and onsite, and helping organizations maximize the value of S&P Global Energy products.
The program is intentionally rotational, exposing graduates to several business functions including Customer Success, Sales, Channel Management, and Marketing. This broad exposure allows participants to understand the business from multiple perspectives while building practical experience across departments. Alongside daily responsibilities, graduates are expected to complete certification milestones and pass a demanding evaluation process designed to stretch their capabilities and accelerate professional growth. As the program progresses, participants will gradually contribute to revenue-generating initiatives and support strategic sales efforts that drive business expansion.
At S&P Global Energy, graduates become part of an organization recognized globally for delivering trusted pricing benchmarks, market intelligence, and analytical insights to financial and commodity markets worldwide. With operations spanning more than 150 countries and a customer base exceeding 10,000 organizations, the company operates at the heart of global market transparency and efficiency. Employees work within a truly international environment supported by a collaborative culture, cutting-edge research, and data-driven innovation.
The company is searching for highly motivated graduates and final-year students who are eager to build a career in the fast-moving world of energy and commodities. Ideal candidates are intellectually curious, adaptable, creative thinkers who thrive in multicultural and high-performance environments. Strong collaboration, networking ability, and problem-solving skills are essential. In addition, candidates with hands-on knowledge of Generative AI tools and the ability to apply emerging technologies to business solutions will stand out.
What You’ll Gain
Graduates join a carefully selected cohort of Commercial and Customer Experience Associates and gain direct access to industry-leading experts, including economists, traders, and risk specialists. Participants attend presentations covering commodity markets, geopolitical developments, technology trends, sustainability, and global economic issues impacting the energy sector.
The learning experience extends beyond theory. Associates receive access to structured e-learning programs focused on commodity markets and technical product knowledge. Within just a few weeks, participants are encouraged to present insights and research findings directly to senior leadership teams, receiving practical feedback that supports rapid development.
Throughout the program, graduates will become proficient in a variety of industry tools and platforms, including S&P Global Energy-Platts, CERA, HORIZON solutions, CRM systems, and advanced Excel applications. The environment is fast-paced, intellectually demanding, and deeply rewarding.
Participants also gain exposure to an impressive client portfolio that includes governments, global banks, commodity trading firms, oil and gas corporations, hedge funds, and multinational organizations.
