Consultant in Energy Trading and Risk Management - Remote

Overview

You will be part of a small consulting team that supports international companies in energy trading and risk management. We have a strong operational and customer oriented focus i.e. we become part of our customers' teams to cover their daily operations (from deal entry through pricing until invoicing) and push the business forward by implementing new software components. Additionally we develop our own real-time engine ovoTander. In particular we need your support in testing our new software components and in assisting us during our daily routines to meet our clients‘ demands. With growing experience and deeper insight into the complexity of trading systems you will start analyzing and optimising our clients‘ business processes on your own. We practise „remote first“, so you will work 100% from home. Still, it would help if you were located near to us (wider area around Berlin or Dresden) in particular during the onboarding phase. Also, traveling to and working on-site with our customers should be fine for you as it will happen only infrequently.
