Job description
Job Title: Head of Intraday & Algorithmic Execution
Focus: Real-time, tech-driven trading in the "Silicon Valley" of energy.
The Role
Denmark is the global laboratory for high-frequency energy volatility. As the Head of Intraday, you will be responsible for the real-time optimization of a massive automated portfolio across the Nordics and Germany. Your mission is to automate the mundane and capitalize on the chaotic shifts of the 15-minute intraday markets.
Key Responsibilities
Automation Strategy: Design and implement automated execution algorithms for the M7 trading system.
Volatility Capture: Trade real-time renewable imbalances and negative price events across Nord Pool and EPEX.
Tech Collaboration: Bridge the gap between human intuition and machine execution by working daily with Python developers and Data Scientists.
Shift Leadership: Oversee a 24/7 desk operation, ensuring strategies are robust through weekend and evening volatility.
Candidate Profile
Experience: 5+ years in short-term/intraday power trading.
Quant Skills: Proficient in Python or SQL; ability to build and backtest your own signals.
Mindset: Entrepreneurial and "startup-ready"—willing to build tools from scratch rather than just using off-the-shelf software.
Education: Master’s in Computer Science or Quantitative Finance.
