Entry-level power trader

In the role, your primary function will be to optimise Danske Commodities portfolio, including wind, solar and consumption. Concretely, your areas of responsibility will include the following:

• trade power across Europe and help handle Intraday Power Trading’s portfolio in active grids
• conduct, evaluate and act on market analyses
• develop trading strategies and tools based on a quantitative setup in collaboration with other teams
• participate in the team’s 24/7 trading shift scheme

As our new trader, you will join Danske Commodities’ Intraday Power Trading team which trades power 24/7. Besides trading, we continuously analyse the market and look for new opportunities which, potentially, can be fed into the advanced algorithm setup we use when trading.

The team is characterised by trust, openness and transparency. We always support each other – and we rely on each other to be able to run a 24/7 trading setup. We are a team of highly motivated people who always aim for great results, and who always look for ways to become better at what we do.

As you will be working in a dynamic environment with short-term trading, we imagine that you thrive on fast decision-making and are able to keep a cool head. You are also able to analyse, act fast and reflect; in the job, you will conduct many analyses to be acted on, but most importantly, you should be able to reflect on the decisions made – only then will we become better tomorrow than we were today.

Furthermore, we imagine that you:

• are a recent graduate from an education within Finance, Economics, Mathematics or similar (or are about to graduate this year)
• are interested in trading and bring motivation to the floor
• know the basics of coding in SQL, R, Python or similar
• are proficient in English – both written and verbal

Please note that it is not a requirement to have prior knowledge of the energy industry to enter this role.
