• Review and challenge optimization algorithms for CCGTs and battery assets across relevant electricity markets.
• Design, implement, and monitor portfolio risk metrics and performance indicators such as Profit at Risk (PaR), drawdown, Sharpe ratio, and other exposure measures.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Front Office, Middle Office, energy data management, finance, and IT teams to validate data, resolve discrepancies, and strengthen reporting processes.
• Participate in discussions on market trends, trading strategies, portfolio optimization, and risk management.
• Develop and maintain a strong understanding of Trading Power desks’ businesses and stay current on their positions, products, and market activities.

Accountabilities

• Run in‑depth quantitative analysis and research to measure the performance and risks of TotalEnergies’ power trading businesses.
• Present senior management and traders with regular, decision‑ready analyses that support the design and management of a profitable, well-balanced portfolio.
• Organize and lead the monthly performance committee, ensuring clear insights, accountability, and follow‑through on action items.
• Challenge pricing assumptions, hedging strategies, and commercial methodologies to drive stronger, data‑backed decision‑making across the trading organization.
