This is a highly commercial, front-office facing role offering extensive exposure to Traders, Business Developers, and senior leadership, including the CEO.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Sitting within the Finance Operations team, this position is far broader than a traditional financial accounting role. The successful candidate will work closely with the trading desk, supporting mark-to-market valuations, applying IFRS to complex trading contracts and derivatives, and providing analytical insight to support commercial decision-making.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The business trades power, gas, and environmental certificates, using a range of derivatives including forwards, futures, swaps, and options.
