About the role

Our trading desk sits at the centre of the business. Every flex-contracted client is counting on us to time the market better than they would alone. You will be a front-line trader with real client-facing responsibility from day one, working with a small, experienced team where your calls actually move the book.

What you'll do

  • Monitor NBP gas and N2EX power day-ahead, forward curves, and imbalance signals throughout each trading day
  • Execute tranche purchases for flex clients against pre-agreed trigger matrices
  • Produce daily market commentary and weekly client briefings
  • Work with account managers on tender timing for fixed and blend-and-extend contracts
  • Contribute to the trigger-matrix methodology and risk framework

What we look for

  • 3+ years in UK wholesale energy trading, broking, or procurement consultancy
  • Working knowledge of NBP, TTF, N2EX/EPEX, half-hourly settlement, and tolerance bands
  • Numerate, calm under pressure, and comfortable making real-money decisions with incomplete information
  • Clear written communication, ourclients read what you write

Nice to have

  • Python or SQL for pulling your own market data
  • Experience with SECR or CRC reporting
  • Working knowledge of UK ETS and EU ETS

How we hire

  1. 1A 30-minute intro call with our talent team to check mutual fit.
  2. 2A 60-minute conversation with the Head of Trading covering your experience and the role in more depth.
  3. 3A practical exercise: a short take-home or a live session with the team, tailored to the role.
  4. 4A final meeting with 1 to 2 cross-functional leaders and an offer within 3 working days.
