Are you curious about how fast-paced markets work and motivated to learn how to make decisions based on real-time data? Then you might be our new Student Trader. We are looking for a student who is competitive, curious, and eager to learn how trading works in one of the most dynamic markets.
You will join our US Power team and become part of a fast-growing trading setup operating in one of the world’s most dynamic energy markets.
From early on, you will work close to the market, monitoring real-time developments, supporting trading decisions, and gradually building your understanding of how trading strategies are executed in practice. You will collaborate with experienced traders, analysts, and developers, where learning is hands-on and feedback is direct.

You are currently studying a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Finance, Economics, Mathematical Economics, or a related field
You are interested in financial or commodity markets and motivated to learn what drives them
You are comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and willing to take ownership as you learn
You think analytically and are motivated to develop structured problem-solving skills; technical skills are a plus, not a requirement

You are curious, proactive, and quick to learn – especially when facing new and complex challenges

A flexible student position (15–20 hours per week) designed to fit alongside your studies
An international team where things move quickly, and the work changes as the market changes
Talented and ambitious colleagues who challenge and support you as you learn
A role with a high degree of responsibility and clear opportunities to grow - including the potential to transition into a full-time position
A culture where we celebrate both big and small successes – and luckily, we have many reasons to do so
Mind boggling lunch conversations (e.g. physicists explaining space-time and Schrödinger's cat or debates on the differences between wizards and sorcerers)
