Role Description

As a Short-Term Power Trader, you will manage and optimise our European power portfolio and develop trading strategies to identify opportunities across various trading horizons. Your primary focus will be on markets ranging from Day Ahead to Month Ahead, although candidates with experience in Day Ahead to Intraday markets will also be considered. Working closely with analysts and systematic traders, you will utilise advanced tools and insights to maximise profitability. Mandatory for this role is demonstrable experience in Nordic power markets.

What We Offer

• A full-time role on our innovative Commercial team.


• Competitive compensation with performance-based bonuses and equity participation for top performers.


• A stimulating and fulfilling career in an active trading environment.


• Comprehensive support for your professional development and success.

Responsibilities

• Develop and execute trading strategies across multiple European markets, focusing on horizons from Day Ahead to Month Ahead.


• Identify and capitalise on market inefficiencies by analysing price movements, renewable forecasts, and grid constraints – with a keen focus on opportunities in the Nordics.


• Collaborate with systematic traders to blend quantitative methods with discretionary strategies.


• Produce clear, data-driven market reports detailing trade rationales and performance drivers.


• Provide round-the-clock market coverage as part of our dedicated trading team.

Requirements

• 2+ years’ confirmed track record of solid performance trading in short-term European power markets.


• Mandatory: Demonstrable expertise and a proven track record in Nordic power markets.


• Exceptional analytical skills with proficiency in quantitative tools such as Python, R, or Excel VBA.


• Complementary Skillsets: While we already possess a deep understanding of price drivers across Great Britain and continental Europe, you should bring additional capabilities—such as advanced risk management, innovative quantitative modelling, or expertise in emerging market trends—to further enhance our analytical edge.


• Ability to make high-stakes decisions under pressure.


• Experience in cross-border trading and capacity markets is advantageous.


• Resilience, adaptability, and an unwavering pursuit of excellence.

If you are passionate about trading, thrive in high-pressure environments, and have a proven track record in power markets – particularly with experience in the Nordics – we invite you to apply and join our global team at Cobblestone Energy
