Energy Trading Lead - USA and Europe
This is not another billing role.
It’s a chance to take ownership of a high-value vertical within energy trading and build something that actually scales.
You’ll step into an established client base, strong delivery support, and real demand across trading, analytics, and quantitative hiring.
You won’t be micromanaged. You will be expected to lead.
The Opportunity
You’ll take the lead on a global energy trading practice covering core markets across Europe, the US and key growth regions.
The desk already has traction. What it needs now is someone who can turn momentum into a market-leading franchise.
Think less about filling jobs. Think building a recognised name in the space.
You’ll operate across:
Power and commodities trading
Quantitative research and analytics
Energy data and technology
Front office and strategic hires
The role blends high-level execution with leadership. You’ll still be close to the market, but your real value comes from shaping direction, building relationships, and scaling a team around you.
What You’ll Be Doing
Owning and growing a global energy trading vertical
Developing senior relationships with trading firms, utilities, funds and tech-led energy businesses
Leading strategic searches across trading, quant, analytics and data functions
Building and mentoring a team beneath you over time
Positioning the business as a go-to partner for high-impact hires
Driving revenue, but through quality, not just volume
You’ll have the freedom to build this properly. No boxed-in structure.
What our client are looking for
Strong track record in energy, commodities, or closely aligned markets
Experience working on roles across trading, analytics, or quant-driven environments
Someone who naturally operates at a senior level with clients
Commercial awareness. You understand how these markets actually move
Leadership potential, even if you haven’t formally led a large team yet
You don’t need to tick every box. But you do need credibility in the space.
Why This Role Stands Out
Clear step up into ownership rather than just billing more
Access to high-value, high-complexity work
Real backing to build a team and shape a market
Existing relationships to leverage from day one
Exposure to some of the most sophisticated firms trading in this space
