Activities

• Operate, maintain and continuously enhance the in-house European power fundamental forecasting framework, including stack, optimization and delta models, asset-valuation tools, model inputs and market assumptions; challenge outputs and rapidly translate deviations into actionable insights for trading desks.
• Develop and communicate clear short- and medium-term market views across European power markets, combining fundamentals, weather, fuels, CO₂, interconnections, outages, flows and positioning indicators, while actively contributing to and challenging the desk’s collective market view.
• Generate, structure and assess trading ideas and strategies derived from quantitative models and market analysis, defining catalysts, scenarios, timing and risks; back-test signals, monitor live performance and use market feedback to continuously refine the analytical framework.
• Develop high-impact analytical tools, dashboards and quantitative research, leveraging large and diverse datasets to uncover new signals, explore scenarios and sensitivities, and deliver commercially relevant insights to traders.
• Contribute to the automation and industrialization of analytical workflows, working closely with IT and data-engineering teams to build robust and scalable cloud-based data pipelines, models and applications, while exploring pragmatic AI and agentic-AI solutions to improve market intelligence, model monitoring and operational efficiency.

Key accountabilities

• Ensure the quality and reliability of analytical tools and processes.
• Balance daily operations, urgent trading requests and longer-term developments.
• Communicate complex quantitative insights, uncertainties and risks clearly.
