ABOUT YOU

This person will be an experienced trading operations professional, and collaborative by nature.

As a Senior Analyst within the team, we also encourage applicants with prior exposure to, or interest in, mentoring and team leadership. In summary, we are looking for somebody with the following:

• European physical power markets experience - this is essential at this position’s level.
• Prior working experience supporting commodities trading desks directly.
• Strong analytical and data management skills.
• Proficiency in SQL and Python.
• Proficiency with Excel.

So if this position excites you but your qualifications or experience don’t perfectly align with the job description, we still urge you to apply. You could be the ideal candidate for this role, or perhaps another opportunity within our expanding business.
