A leading proprietary trading business is looking to add an experienced Power Market Maker to its short term trading team.
This is a front office role focused on providing liquidity and actively trading European power markets across short term time horizons. You will have direct influence on the trading strategy, risk and PnL rather than operating within a traditional utility or asset backed structure.

- Make markets across European short term power products
- Trade across Intraday and Day Ahead markets
- Develop and refine pricing and market making strategies
- Identify short term market opportunities and manage risk dynamically
- Use market data, fundamental signals and quantitative tools to improve pricing and execution
- Work closely with quantitative researchers and developers to enhance trading strategies and infrastructure
- Work on HFT projects and improving the execution infrastructure
- Take ownership of trading performance and contribute directly to the growth of the proprietary trading book
What we are looking for:
- 2+ years experience in European power trading or market making
- Strong understanding of short term European power markets
- Experience across Intraday and/or Day Ahead power
- Strong understanding of order books, liquidity, execution and short term price formation
- Comfortable making decisions quickly in a fast moving market
- Quantitative mindset with strong analytical skills
- Experience working with Python or other programming languages is advantageous
- Commercial and entrepreneurial approach to trading
Why join?
This is an opportunity to join a dedicated proprietary power trading team where trading decisions are driven by market opportunity and PnL.
You will have the autonomy to develop your own ideas, work closely with quants and developers and play a key role in expanding the firm’s short term European power strategy.
