Do you want to kick off your career in risk management by joining one of the fastest-growing energy trading companies in the world? Are you eager to gain valuable hands-on experience and advance your analytical, quantitative, and programming skills? Then, you might be just who we are looking for!

We are currently seeking a Risk Analyst to join our small, but dedicated Risk team. The team's primary purpose is to establish and maintain a solid risk management framework that, through extensive market knowledge, risk monitoring, and tool automation, ensures our front offices are well-equipped to take the best possible positions in the markets.

Your journey as a Risk Analyst Analyst 

You will be working on various tasks and projects related to risk management. This ranges from building and optimizing our multiple tools to ensuring a complete overview of our market, credit, liquidity, and operational risk. You will be involved in a broad spectrum of responsibilities, ranging from executing simple risk assessments to undertaking complex quantitative analyses for our larger-scale strategic projects. Moreover, the role involves conducting thorough risk assessments of current and potential new markets and products and ensuring secure onboarding and revision of our counterparts by performing credit analysis and Know Your Customer (KYC) assessments.

In this role, you have a unique chance to apply your academic skills in a professional setting where your work will directly impact our way of monitoring risk.
