Trading Analyst

Trading Analyst

Power Markets (Short-Term / Curve)

Berlin (in-office to start, moving to hybrid after ramp-up)

Company Overview

Our client is a founder-led power trading house based in Berlin, active across day-ahead, intraday and week-ahead to month-ahead power, gas and emissions markets. The desk trades systematically, has grown its curve capability with several recent senior hires, and is now expanding from short-term trading into asset management.

Why They're Hiring

This is a build-out role rather than a replacement. As the desk scales towards asset management by the end of the year, it needs someone to own quantitative modelling for short-term power and curve bidding, working alongside the strategist as delivery volumes grow. It is a project-style hire: the desk wants someone who will help shape this capability, not simply step into a fixed process.

The Opportunity

This is an analyst position, not a trading seat. You'll work closely with the Head of Trading and the wider desk, with direct exposure to how a fast-moving, founder-led trading business operates. There is genuine scope to build something from an early stage, with a clear line of sight to the desk's move into asset management.

What You'll Do

• Develop and maintain stack models for short-term power markets
• Build and refine bid and offer curve models
• Work closely with the strategist on delivery and booking
• Support the desk's expansion into asset management over the next 6-12 months

What We're Looking For

• Around 3 years' experience in a relevant analyst or quantitative role
• Direct, hands-on experience with stack models
• Experience modelling short-term power markets and curve bidding
• Comfortable in an analyst function, rather than seeking a trading path
• Willing to be based in or relocate to Berlin, working in-office from day one

What's on Offer

• Base salary: EUR 70,000-80,000, negotiable depending on experience
• Discretionary bonus of up to 10% of PnL contribution
• Hybrid working (3 days/week) after an initial in-office ramp-up period of around 3 months
• Direct exposure to the desk's founders and senior trading leadership

Why This Role

This suits someone who wants to build something rather than inherit it. You'll be joining at a genuine inflection point for the business, with the chance to shape how quantitative and curve modelling capability develops as the desk grows into asset management.
