We work with hedge funds, banks, commodity traders, utilities, and major industrials in sectors such as metals, shipping, aviation and refining, combining exchange-traded strategies with bespoke OTC structured solutions.

We are looking for a graduate (or someone with early-career experience or an internship in a relevant field) to join our sales and origination team in London. This is an opportunity to develop client-facing skills in a fast-growing market and progress quickly within a small, entrepreneurial team.

 What we’re looking for

• Strong numerical ability and genuine interest in financial markets
• Degree in Finance, Economics, Business, or a quantitative/technical field
• Some exposure to finance, trading, derivatives, commodities or capital markets (university projects, internships, thesis work or early work experience are all fine)
• Excellent Excel skills; basic coding is an advantage
• High attention to detail and strong organisational skills
• A self-starter who takes initiative in a small, fast-moving environment
• Comfortable speaking with clients after training and development
• A second European language is a plus
• No prior energy or carbon market experience required, but a basic understanding of how financial markets function is expected
• Right to work in the UK. Sponsorship can be considered for exceptional candidates.

What we offer

• Competitive salary and performance-based progression
• Direct exposure to one of the most dynamic and fast-growing markets in Europe
• Accelerated development and early responsibility in a small team
