Power trader for Singapore trading desk
Are you a recent graduate? Or do you have trading experience from the financial markets with the desire to enter the dynamic world of power trading? Then grab this opportunity to become a trader in Danske Commodities’ Intraday Power Trading team from our office in Singapore!
Here’s what the job entails
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, where you will handle the European night hours from the day shifts in Singapore together with three other colleagues based in Singapore
Meet the team
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. In the role, you join our Singapore power trading desk which is part of our HQ Intraday Power Trading team located in Aarhus, Denmark. We are a team of 16 trading professionals, covering both asset trading and proprietary 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.
In an ever-changing intraday market driven by volatile supply and demand in Europe, you will most likely never experience a dull day
But enough about us… over to you!
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 are today.
Furthermore, we expect that you:
- are a recent graduate from an education within Finance, Economics, Mathematics or similar or have 1-2 years of financial trading experience
- are interested in trading and bring motivation to the floor
- know the basics of coding in SQL, R, Python or similar
