Title: Power & Gas Trader
Location: Lugano, Switzerland CH
Salary: circa 100,000CHF + bonus
Imperium Commodity Search is confidentially retained by a small energy trading house business in Lugano, seeking to recruit a junior-mid level power and gas trader to their growing front office team.
You will join an experienced, down to earth and pragmatic bunch from a mix of backgrounds at majors, boutiques and power/gas businesses, helping the firm to continue its organic expansions across the European market in power and gas.
Primarily hedging customer demand along the curve, the position will merge into a mixed utility, short-term power trading desk over time as the unit expands. There will be a strong focus on the Italian power and gas market, and thus, proficiency in Italian is preferred.
Lugano is a beautiful place, but one that is low on power and gas trading businesses. Our client is aware that relocation is likely for the successful candidate and is able to support this.
Responsibilities:
* Delivery and expansion of PnL targets trading across the Italian/European Power & Gas markets
* Closely monitor and communicate risks on personal power and gas trading book, working with internal stakeholders on timely reporting and monitoring
* Keep up to date on industry news/events and macro events to ensure profitable and timely capture of trading opportunities in power and gas
* Work with senior management on organic growth of the desk, building experience and confidence in personal trading portfolio with the view to develop customer hedging on the curve into intraday and short term power trading
* Manage and build relationships in the gas trading space and ensure PnL targets are met in target markets/asset classes
* Work with internal teams to manage and build supply & demand curves, balancing and optimization with relevant trading tools
We would love to speak with you if you have:
* 1-3+ years experience in the Gas and/or Power trading space, ideally in the Italian/southern European markets
* Good understanding of power trading dynamics, particularly in hedging customer demand on the curve
* Fluency in English and ideally Italian (both written and verbal)
* Excellent numeracy skills
* Understanding of risk metrics/management in a power/gas trading setting
* The ability to work in/relocate to Lugano, Switzerland
