Student Trader for US Power Trading

Join a world of energy as MFT Energy's new Student Trader for US Power Trading

Are you curious about how fast-paced markets work and motivated to learn how to make decisions based on real-time data? Then you might be our new Student Trader. We are looking for a student who is competitive, curious, and eager to learn how trading works in one of the most dynamic markets.

The job as Student Trader

You will join our US Power team and become part of a fast-growing trading setup operating in one of the world’s most dynamic energy markets.

From early on, you will work close to the market, monitoring real-time developments, supporting trading decisions, and gradually building your understanding of how trading strategies are executed in practice. You will collaborate with experienced traders, analysts, and developers, where learning is hands-on and feedback is direct.

You can look forward to

• Supporting trade execution in the US power markets, with a focus on short-term opportunities

• Assisting in the development and refinement of trading strategies

• Monitoring real-time market data and learning how to make fast, informed decisions

• Working closely with traders, analysts, and developers to improve tools and insights

• Supporting the evaluation of trading positions, with a focus on risk and performance

• Sharing observations and ideas to challenge existing approaches and improve execution

What we are looking for

• You are currently studying a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Finance, Economics, Mathematical Economics, or a related field

• You are interested in financial or commodity markets and motivated to learn what drives them

• You are comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and willing to take ownership as you learn

• You think analytically and are motivated to develop structured problem-solving skills; technical skills are a plus, not a requirement

• You bring a collaborative mindset and positive, competitive energy to the team

• You are curious, proactive, and quick to learn – especially when facing new and complex challenges

Working in MFT Energy

At MFT Energy, we combine a startup mindset with the strength of a global organization. We believe in empowering individuals to make data-driven decisions in a fast-paced environment. We are 200 employees working out of our headquarters in Scandinavian Center, Aarhus C, and from our international offices in Türkiye, Australia, New York, Singapore, Japan, and several remote colleagues working from all over the world. The US Power team is located in Aarhus and New York.

We offer:

• A flexible student position (15–20 hours per week) designed to fit alongside your studies

• An international team where things move quickly, and the work changes as the market changes

• Talented and ambitious colleagues who challenge and support you as you learn

• A role with a high degree of responsibility and clear opportunities to grow - including the potential to transition into a full-time position

• A culture where we celebrate both big and small successes – and luckily, we have many reasons to do so

• Mind boggling lunch conversations (e.g. physicists explaining space-time and Schrödinger's cat or debates on the differences between wizards and sorcerers)
