Compliance & Market Access Specialist – North America

Are you detail- and process-oriented? Can you navigate in a complex and fast-paced environment, engaging with both internal and external stakeholders? If you resonate with the above, you could be our Compliance & Market Access Specialist!

We are currently looking for a Compliance & Market Access Specialist to ensure compliance with energy trading regulations, research new markets, and prepare key reports. With a focus on structure, high pace, and communication, you'll collaborate with top industry minds and engage with stakeholders to drive success. Ready to make an impact?

Be part of our North American growth adventure

At InCommodities, we are on a mission to rethink how data and technology are used in energy trading. Since our founding in 2017, we have grown rapidly into a global team of over 200 talented professionals from 22 countries. Headquartered in Aarhus, Denmark— often referred to as the Silicon Valley of energy trading— we operate with a truly global perspective, extending our activities across Europe, Asia Pacific, and North America.

In 2020, we expanded our US presence by establishing an office in Austin, Texas. Today, our NA organization covers both power and natural gas. You will join our CFO Office and be the first member of our Compliance & Market Access team.

Your journey as Compliance & Market Access Specialist

You will work closely with our colleagues in Europe to transition the NA function from the team in Europe who currently covers the entire span of our business’s compliance & market access globally. Your responsibility will revolve around understanding the federal, state and local regulatory framework to ensure operational compliance for our energy trading activities. You will also be responsible for researching and understanding new markets and preparing required reporting for existing markets. This involves investigating regulatory requirements, gaining access to ISO’s, trading venues, and related market entities.

It is a role where structure and overview are essential and time to market for the business is crucial. Moreover, effective written and verbal communication skills are paramount due to the extensive engagement with a wide array of internal and external stakeholders.

We will ensure you get properly introduced to the team, our organization, and our business so you can manage your role with a high degree of autonomy. You can look forward to working alongside some of the brightest minds in the industry and have supportive colleagues and sparring partners around you.

Work closely with all relevant stakeholders across the organization, such as our various Trading teams, IT, Finance and Risk

A people-first culture

We value a strong social community with frequent events outside the office. The work culture is relaxed; you don’t have to abide by a dress code or a strict hierarchy, so you won’t be frustrated with too many rules, policies, or bureaucratic processes.

Our core values - honesty, transparency, and rethinking - are fundamental to how we engage with each other. Without honesty and transparency, we can't build trust, and trust among team members is the foundation of effective relationships and collaboration, ultimately for achieving better outcomes together. And as for rethinking, it’s deeply rooted in our DNA, pushing us to challenge status quo and continuously develop and innovate.
