Workload: 80–100%

- Trade short- and long-term contracts across the CWE region, specifically focusing on France, Germany, and beyond, powered by your own market view.

- Participate in cross-border auctions and power tenders, turning volatility into opportunity.
Your Profile:
- Experience: Minimum of 5 years in European Power trading, with at least 4 years of proven success specifically within the CWE markets. Disciplined drawdown management.

- Academic Background: A Master’s degree in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Economics, or a related quantitative field.
- Personal Attributes: A genuinely entrepreneurial mindset—you think in risk-reward, not job descriptions. Composure under pressure, fluent analytics, and strategic agility.
- Technical Skills: Strong quantitative mindset. Proficiency in Python or SQL is highly preferred for data analysis and back-testing strategies.
- Languages: English is a must; German, French, or Italian is a welcomed advantage.
