- Manage bids and offers on interconnector capacities, understanding the dynamics of cross-border energy flows and their impact on power prices.
- Coordinate with other desks, functions and system operators to align strategies and manage the portfolio’s exposure. Participate in market operator forums to stay ahead of industry changes.
- Produce detailed reports on trading activities, performance metrics, and market conditions. Present findings and strategies to internal stakeholders.
- Ensure compliance with all relevant regulations and contractual customer obligations, including REMIT, the Grid Code and Shell policies.

- Proven track record for spec trading at short term power markets
- In-depth knowledge of the UK and European energy markets, understanding key market drivers and trading regulations.
- Strong quantitative skills, with proficiency in sophisticated trading and analytical platforms.
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Finance, Economics, Engineering, or a related field.
- Excellent decision-making abilities, capable of performing under pressure in a fast-paced environment.
