Trading Manager

Job description

Overview:

We are seeking a commercially driven Trading Manager with strong knowledge of UK gas and electricity markets.

This role requires a blend of market analysis, risk management, and client advisory capability. The successful candidate will monitor wholesale energy markets, assess pricing trends, and advise on optimal timing for purchasing decisions. They will support energy tenders, analyse supplier pricing structures, and contribute to contract and procurement strategies.

A key part of the role involves managing portfolio risk — including hedging positions, monitoring exposure to price fluctuations, and tracking average purchase costs — ensuring clients are protected against market volatility.

The position also requires the ability to translate complex trading and market data into clear, practical insights for clients and senior stakeholders, while working closely with suppliers and consultants.

About the business:

Our client is an energy management consultancy that supports high-energy-consuming organisations with procurement, compliance, and sustainability strategy. The company helps commercial, industrial, and public-sector clients optimise energy use, manage regulatory obligations, and navigate complex wholesale markets

Why join the business:

• Get direct experience in flexible procurement and market-driven trading strategies.
• Join an independent consultancy that provides unbiased, client-first advice.
• Access clear career progression into senior analyst or consultant positions.
• Benefit from hybrid working alongside a supportive, team-focused office environment.

Ideal profile:

• Experience in UK power and gas markets
• Strong understanding of hedging and risk management
• Background in energy procurement, trading, or portfolio management
• Commercially astute with strong analytical skills
• Confident communicator with client-facing experience

In summary, we are looking for someone who can help organisations buy energy strategically — balancing cost optimisation with effective risk management.
