Short Term Power Trader

Oxford | Shift Pattern | Competitive Base + Bonus

We are working with a fast growing energy trading firm in Oxford looking to add a Power Trader to its expanding team.

The business has built a strong reputation within UK power markets, operating with a highly collaborative and entrepreneurial culture across trading and technology. The desk is active across intraday and day-ahead markets, with increasing focus around battery optimisation and short-term power strategies.

• Trading UK power markets across intraday and day-ahead products
• Analysing and executing trades within fast-moving market conditions
• Supporting battery optimisation activity and strategy development
• Working closely with experienced traders and technologists
• Using analytical tools such as Excel and Python to support trading decisions

The desk primarily focuses on short-term trading, although positions may occasionally be held further out the curve.

• 1-4 years’ experience trading UK power markets
• Exposure to, or strong interest in, battery storage optimisation
• Comfort operating within a live shift-pattern trading environment
• Strong analytical capability, including Excel and/or Python
• A collaborative and commercially driven mindset

This is a strong opportunity to join an ambitious and growing trading environment at an early stage, with direct exposure to experienced market participants and increasing involvement across optimisation and broader energy transition themes.
