About you and this role

Dow has an exciting opportunity for a Senior Commercial Manager, NGL Trading & Feedstocks located in Houston, TX! In this role, you will be part of Dow’s USGC NGL Feedstocks team and manage commercial activity across Dow’s NGL portfolio, which includes ethane, propane, butane, naphtha, and related feedstock streams.

Dow consumes significant volumes of natural gas liquids (NGLs) along the U.S. Gulf Coast to produce ethylene, propylene, and other olefins used in finished plastics and chemicals. Feedstock costs are exposed to market volatility driven by infrastructure constraints, supply and demand fundamentals, and broader energy price movements, including oil, natural gas, and gasoline. The U.S. NGL Feedstocks team plays a critical role in maintaining a reliable low-cost feedstock supply and protecting Dow’s earnings during periods of energy market volatility. 

You will be responsible for trading, contracting, and optimizing NGL feedstocks to ensure reliable supply, manage commercial risk, and maximize value across Dow's U.S. Gulf Coast feedstock portfolio. You will manage spot and near-term commercial activity, negotiate short-term supply agreements, develop market and pricing models, coordinate product movements through Dow’s logistics and asset network, and manage key internal and external interfaces.

You will also support strategic decisions related to long-term feedstock acquisition, capital projects, asset optimization, and infrastructure strategy across Dow’s U.S. manufacturing footprint.

Responsibilities

• Trading, contracting, and optimizing NGLs to meet Dow’s supply, inventory, and value capture objectives.
• Develop trading strategies to optimize Dow’s NGL position across product, time, location, logistics, storage, and asset optionality.
• Optimize the utilization of pipelines, storage, transportation, and other infrastructure assets to improve supply reliability, enhance operational flexibility, and maximize commercial value.
• Monitor and manage commercial exposure associated with commodity prices, basis differentials, logistics constraints, inventory positions, and contractual obligations.
• Develop and maintain NGL supply, demand, inventory, logistics, and pricing models.
• Manage external relationships with suppliers, customers, traders, brokers, midstream companies, and infrastructure providers.
• Communicate market strategies, transaction activity, and portfolio positions to team members, leadership, and supporting functions.
• Coordinate with manufacturing, supply chain, finance, legal, tax, and operations to support reliable feedstock supply.
