Working in Trading & Origination 

As part of the Trading & Origination Department, the Southern European Origination team manages a portfolio of short- and long-term third-party contracts in Spain, France and Italy, typically standardized route-to-market services for renewable energy, tailor-made Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), and long-term sales contracts to large end customers. The plan is to foster the leading position as PPA and route-to-market services provider and further grow the portfolio, expanding activities on both a product and regional level. The team’s responsibilities are split between Origination and Portfolio Management and include the origination, sales, structuring, pricing and portfolio management of all non-standard power contracts in the aforementioned countries, with team members located in in Düsseldorf, Lyon, Paris, Milan and Madrid. 

For the Portfolio Management team based in Düsseldorf, we are looking to strengthen our structuring and portfolio management support specifically for Italian and French origination activities.

• Work closely with the analysts on the team on calibrating and further developing stochastic and fundamental models
• Liaise with middle office on PnL and risk reporting
• Work with internal intraday trading team to optimise value capture in short-term markets
• Deal with day-to-day administrative issues related to the portfolio

 

About you: 

• At least 5 years’ experience managing energy derivative portfolios

• A good understanding of the supply & demand fundamentals of the Italian and French power markets
