We are looking for a high-calibre Senior Power Trader to play a pivotal role in driving trading performance and strategic growth. In this dynamic position, you will support the Head of Trading in maximizing speculative P&L while managing fixed-price risk and ensuring the wider business has a robust route to market.

This role is ideal for a proactive, analytical trader who thrives on mid-to-long-term market views and wants to make a real impact on a globally-minded team with a footprint across the UK, US, and Australia.

  • Market Insight & Analytics: Coordinate with the Trading Analysis team to enhance fundamental modeling, price forecasting, and market insights.

  • Expansion & Innovation: Support the entry into new international energy markets and collaborate on the development of new trading products and market access tools.

  • Mentorship: Act as a technical authority on the desk, providing backup across trading books and supporting the development of junior team members.


The Profile

  • Substantial Experience: A proven track record in Power and Gas trading (specifically Curve/Forward markets).

  • Technical Expertise: Strong knowledge of UK Power Auctions and the mechanics of traded energy markets.

  • Analytical Power: Ability to translate complex data and modeling into actionable trading strategies.

  • Commercial Drive: A proactive approach to identifying pricing inefficiencies and maximizing P&L opportunities.

  • Relationship Management: Experience in providing route-to-market services and collaborating with cross-functional teams (Flow, Risk, and Analysis).


Why Join This Team?

  • Global Impact: Join a firm that is actively expanding its reach across Europe and the Americas, offering a unique opportunity to shape a global roadmap.

  • Strategic Autonomy: You will be empowered to take ownership of your desk and contribute directly to the 2026/2030 growth strategy.

  • Inclusive Culture: A business that celebrates diversity as a key driver of innovation, providing an environment where different perspectives are valued and encouraged.
