• Trader: Support the trading desk with market monitoring, analysis and the day-to-day optimisation of positions.

• Strong analytical skills and comfort working with data
• Programming experience, e.g. Python (essential for the Quant and Developer tracks)
• An interest in energy and financial markets
• A structured mindset, initiative and the ability to work independently
• A collaborative team player who takes ownership of their work
• Fluency in Danish and English, written and spoken

• A full-time internship for the spring or autumn semester
• Direct responsibility and exposure from day one
