Specialist Headhunting for Short-Term Power Trading Across Europe
Why do you need top talent within short-term power trading?
It may seem obvious, but having top talent and market specialists on your team is more essential than ever within this space.
Trading and optimisation is rapidly growing and diversifying. With the rise of renewables and new tech, market activity across day-ahead, intraday and balancing markets continues to boom. However, the frameworks behind these markets are presenting new challenges, algo trading is becoming the new norm, and up to 90% of intraday trades are now being made automatically.
Teams must now have dynamic players who can act quickly, understand the data, and operate complex technical systems.
The right blend of talent depends on each team’s commercial strategy, volatility exposure, infrastructure and operational model.
