The Intraday Trading team is a new desk in Macquarie. The desk covers proprietary Intraday power trading across European markets and is leading expansion into new territories leaning on Macquaries’ existing infrastructure to accelerate this. We are in the stages of gaining market access and building an internal framework to support dynamic, technology-driven systematic and discretionary trading. We are at an advanced stage developing proven strategies and when established will play a pivotal role in Macquarie’s global commodities business. We foster a collaborative and entrepreneurial environment, leveraging fundamental, quantitative, and technical analysis to identify trading opportunities and deliver consistent results. Our focus is on generating strong risk-adjusted returns and expanding Macquarie’s capabilities in the power trading space.

At Macquarie, our advantage is bringing together diverse people and empowering them to shape all kinds of possibilities. We are a global financial services group operating in 31 markets and with 56 years of unbroken profitability. You’ll be part of a friendly and supportive team where everyone - no matter what role - contributes ideas and drives outcomes.

As a Senior Intraday Trader, you will play a key role in building and shaping a new intraday discretionary trading desk within a fast paced, high energy environment. You will operate at the intersection of systematic models and discretionary market insight, creating a continuous improvement loop that enhances strategy performance and execution.

You will collaborate closely with algorithmic traders, quants, and settlement teams to align expertise, strengthen cross functional development, and drive innovation across the desk. In addition, you will design and deliver structured training programs, providing junior traders with hands on exposure to live market conditions. Through mentorship and guided execution of your trading strategies, you will support their development as they progress toward building robust strategies of their own. You will stay ahead of market trends, regulatory developments, and emerging technologies, contributing insights that shape the firm’s broader trading strategy. This is a unique opportunity that offers excellent progression potential and exposure to various desks within Macquarie.

We are seeking an experienced Intraday Power Trader and leader with deep knowledge of intraday power markets with a strong discretionary background, and a proven track record of supporting and guiding profitable algorithmic strategies.
