Job description

​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.
