Junior European Power Analyst
Nanook is an energy-focused hedge fund and we are looking for a Junior Power Analyst to join our front-office trading team in London. This is an opportunity for an analytically strong early-career candidate to move into a fast-paced environment where problem solving and real-time decision making are central to the role.
Working closely with traders, you’ll analyse market movements, interpret data and model outputs, and form clear, well-reasoned views on short-term power pricing. Success in the role comes from being able to take complex or incomplete information and turn it into practical, actionable insight.
This would suit someone currently working in a technical or analytical role — for example as an analyst, quant, or software engineer — who is looking to apply those skills in a more commercial, market-driven setting.
What we’re looking for
A strong academic background, ideally a STEM degree (Mathematics, Physics, Economics, Finance or Engineering)
Excellent A-level results
6–12 months’ experience in a technical or analytical role (or a relevant year in industry)
Experience with quantitative techniques such as regression and time-series analysis
Coding ability in Python and/or R, plus working knowledge of SQL
A genuine interest in markets and a desire to work in a trading environment
What matters in this role
Strong problem-solving ability and intellectual curiosity
Comfort working with data, models, and uncertainty
Clear thinking and the confidence to communicate ideas
A proactive mindset and willingness to take ownership
The role involves early starts (typically around 7am) and suits someone who is motivated by working in line with live market activity.
This is a high-impact position with direct exposure to traders from day one, offering a steep learning curve and the opportunity to build a long-term career in energy trading.
What you’ll gain
Direct exposure to a front-office trading desk from day one
A steep learning curve in a high-performance, market-driven environment
The opportunity to apply technical skills in a highly commercial setting
A clear pathway to build a long-term career in energy trading
