Are you interested in the bigger drivers behind the energy markets? Do you enjoy following market developments closely and using analysis to identify trading opportunities across power, gas, and emissions? As Senior Trader in Cross-Commodity Trading, you will join a team working with proprietary market views, fundamental analysis, and trading across different energy commodities and tenors.
The team
Cross-Commodity Trading works across power, gas, and emissions markets with a strong focus on fundamental market analysis for both short term and long term trading. The team follows developments across the global energy markets and works closely with desk analysts and software developers to make effective trading decisions. The environment is collaborative, and discussions around market direction, positioning, and risk management are a natural part of the daily work.
The role
As Senior Trader, you will spend most of your time analysing developments across the energy markets and using those insights to identify trading opportunities across power, gas, and emissions. You can work with both the short term markets from day ahead to front month or the long term markets from front month and further out, dependent on your expertise and experience.
The role combines market analysis, strategy development, and trading execution. You will make daily trading decisions, risk management, and discussions around market positioning, while also contributing to the team’s longer-term market views and trading strategies.

- Manage market risk and ensure compliance with relevant regulations.
- Build and maintain relationships with market participants, partners, and stakeholders.
