An energy sector momentum trader at Maverick focuses on the US energy complex — exploration and production, midstream pipelines, refiners, and oilfield services. The sector is cyclical, commodity-driven, and politically sensitive, which makes it both volatile and tradeable for someone who understands the macro and capital-cycle dynamics behind it.
Milwaukee, WI: Milwaukee hosts Northwestern Mutual's headquarters, Robert W. Baird (one of the largest middle-market investment banks), and Fiserv. The financial-services labor market is stronger than the metro's size suggests, and Central Time alignment with US markets is clean.
What you'll trade: Large-cap integrated names (XOM, CVX) for option liquidity and stability, E&P names for leveraged exposure to crude moves, midstream MLPs and corporations for income-plus-momentum plays, and refiners for the crack-spread cycle. ETFs (XLE, XOP, OIH) for thematic exposure.
Risk framework: Energy carries commodity correlation risk, geopolitical headline risk, and overnight gap risk on weekend news. Maverick caps single-name exposure, total sector exposure, and requires hedging plans for positions held over major inventory or OPEC events.
Why Maverick funds this role: Energy is one of the most cyclical sectors in US markets and one of the most tradeable when you understand the capital cycle. Maverick funds specialists here because the macro-fundamental linkage rewards expertise that doesn't translate from other sectors.
Traders who already follow crude, natural gas, and the OPEC calendar as part of their daily routine People with a macro mindset — energy moves on geopolitics as much as fundamentals Candidates with patience for cyclical positioning, not just short-term momentum Traders who can size for headline risk over weekends and holidays#J-18808-Ljbffr(If this job is in fact in your jurisdiction, then you may be using a Proxy or VPN to access this site, and to progress further, you should change your connectivity to another mobile device or PC).
