Trader Trainee - Intraday

Would you thrive in a high-paced environment? Are you able to think clearly under pressure and make fast, high-quality decisions? Does the idea of working abroad excite you? Then this opportunity might be for you!

We are looking to hire an ambitious and energic Trader Trainee to join our Intraday Power Trading team. Here, you will learn from and collaborate with some of Europe's most skilled and experienced professionals in their fields in a hands-on setting, where your decisions directly impact the bottom line.

Your Journey as a Trader Trainee

During your 6-month Trader Trainee period, you will gain a deep understanding of the power markets while receiving a thorough introduction to our business and organization. From day one, you will be equipped to take ownership of your responsibilities, working with our in-house-developed tools, analysis, and forecasts - key components in the hundreds of trading decisions we make daily.

Guided by experienced intraday traders and collaborating closely with our quantitative analysts, you will also contribute to strategy and tool development projects. With a high degree of autonomy, responsibility and guidance from your team, you can expect a steep learning curve and broad exposure to the power markets, enabling you to unlock your full potential in this role.

If you are in your final semester, you can start your journey as a Student Trader and work 15-25 hours per week until graduation, after which you will become a full-time Trader Trainee.

Responsibilities – you will:

Trade and optimize the intraday portfolio across Europe
Develop and act on new and existing trading strategies
Participate in our 24/7 shift rotation (including evening, night, and weekend work)

Qualifications – we imagine that you:

Hold a bachelor's or master’s degree in economics, finance, mathematics, or a related field (or in your final semester)
Preferably, have experience in stock trading, sports betting, poker etc. (an advantage but not a requirement)
Are driven, resilient, and determined to become the best trader
Are fluent in English – both written and oral

Personal skills – we expect that you:

Are result-oriented with high-performance standards
Have a can-do attitude and a competitive mindset
Stay calm under pressure and make sound decisions in fast-moving situations
Can be direct with your colleagues and give/receive constructive feedback
Are a team player who will do what is best for the team and InCommodities

What you can expect from us:

A steep learning curve in an ever-changing intraday power market
Exceptional colleagues who are bold, honest, ambitious, and the best in their field
A unique company culture where we live up to our values: Honesty, Transparency, and Rethink and where 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
A bunch of great events - both in the teams and in the entire organization
The opportunity to develop both professionally and personally
The opportunity to work abroad for 1-2 years in our office in Austin, Texas.

We’re InCommodities: One of the fastest growing trading companies in the world. The energy market is transitioning away from fossil fuels to renewable energy, and we take part in making that happen! 

At InCommodities, we support the transition by acting as the middleman between sellers and buyers of power and gas - we transport energy across borders where it’s needed, or we store it and sell it later, providing a vital function in the value chain from production to consumption. InCommodities’ business and decision-making are driven by a deep understanding of the energy markets and based on quantitative analysis and rethinking what we do.

Making InCommodities outstanding requires all types of people with different personalities, backgrounds, and approaches to solving different tasks and projects. But one thing connects us: we're fuelled by new ideas and rethinking the status quo.

Our Culture

We value a strong social culture with a high frequency of employee events outside the office. We want to win and be the best in class – therefore, you'll be surrounded by like-minded people who are bold, honest, ambitious, and the smartest in their field, and who root for one another, as we value a genuine sense of team spirit.

To help each other grow, we use honest and constructive feedback and sparring within and across teams. Personality and cultural fit are important to us because we want you to be happy here. 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. 

In other words, InCommodities is not your average workplace – it’s awesome.
