The job

Here’s what the job entails

• collaborate with portfolio managers, traders and analysts to value financial products linked to energy generation
• design valuation frameworks to support portfolio managers
• improve existing valuation and hedging tools
• support with ad-hoc analysis tasks
• streamline repetitive workflows and tasks

The team

Meet the team
As our new quantitative analyst, you will join our Power Markets Analysis team. We support the trading teams by analysing data thoroughly and giving a solid foundation for investment decisions. Our main focus is modelling the long term (up to 20 years) evolvement of the power market and prices across European zones.

We are a team of 10 specialists with backgrounds in engineering, physics, statistics and economics. We are curious and innovative, always digging deep into data for insights. We analyse with integrity and make sure to communicate results in a clear, understandable language. Our culture is informal and fun, with open communication and mutual respect.

You will have the chance to enter the engine room of the energy transition by helping evaluate financial contracts for wind and solar parks, batteries and hydropower plants. All while doing so, you will learn a lot about bringing renewable projects to life!
