Oil, Gas and Green Fuels Trading

Our Commodity and Energy Trading practice is looking for individuals at all levels of experience to join our newest office in Copenhagen.

Our commodities and energy trading focused team operates across all major commodities, including oil, metals and agriculture. It’s an exciting area to work in where the level and scale of investment has accelerated materially in the recent past in line with macro market factors. We continue to see significant investment from both new market entrants and existing players as they move into or expand their capabilities into different markets.

We work with clients to help them to translate strategy into action, to enter new markets, build new capabilities, and to revolutionize their trading businesses and IT landscapes. We’re looking for people to join our growing team in Denmark who have a passion for commodities trading and for collaborating with clients face to face to help solve their key challenges. You'll be involved in strategically significant client transformation projects, across Scandinavia and Europe, with opportunities to work on global initiatives. 

What you will be doing

From designing target operating models to implementing integrated trading systems. Here are some examples of projects we typically get involved in:

Trading systems transformations: Implementations, upgrades and system selections for market leading trading organisations including new and innovative products. 

Business restructuring: Designing and implementing operating models for complex global organisations that cover the full trading and commodity lifecycle.

Digital Transformation: Working with clients to mature their digital capabilities and embed ML and AI into their architectures, including improving commercial decision making and the trader decision support tooling in use.

In addition to this, we have introduced our 5-Year Recharge benefit which allows all employees an additional 2 weeks of paid leave after 5 years continuous service.

Flexible Working: We know that the ‘ideal’ work-life balance will vary from person to person and change at different stages of our working lives. To accommodate this, we have implemented a hybrid working policy and introduced more flexibility around taking unpaid leave.

Corporate Responsibility Days: Our world is important to us, so all our employees get 3 every year to help social and environmental causes and increase our impact on the communities that mean the most to us.

Wellbeing Fund: We want to encourage all employees to take charge and prioritise their own wellbeing. We’ve introduced our annual People Fund to support this by offering every individual a fund to support and manage their wellbeing through an activity of their choice.
