Markets:
European Power or US Power
Location:

The Opportunity
We are working with a leading global proprietary trading firm looking to build out its systematic power trading platform by backing a senior power trader to establish and lead their own trading pod. The firm combines world-class research, technology, and execution infrastructure with significant capital and a highly entrepreneurial culture. Senior traders are given the autonomy, capital, and resources to build and scale their own teams and strategies, with compensation closely aligned to performance and pod-level P&L.
The Role
You will found and lead a systematic power trading pod across either European or US power markets, taking full ownership of strategy, risk, and team build-out. The firm is looking for a proven trader with a differentiated, scalable edge who is ready to move from running a book to running a business. You will define the pod’s strategy and research agenda, hire and manage researchers, developers, and junior traders, and retain ownership of P&L and risk. The firm provides the capital, technology, and infrastructure, allowing you to focus on building the pod and generating alpha.
