Senior Intraday Shift Trader

As a Senior Intraday Shift Trader for Spain, you will be part of Statkraft's growing 24/7 Energy Management team. Together with your colleagues, you will take responsibility for balancing renewable generation, dispatching flexible assets and optimising positions across Iberian short-term power markets.

Working closely with Origination, Portfolio Management, Algorithmic Trading and Energy Management teams across Europe, you will play a key role in scaling Statkraft's renewable and flexibility business in Spain. This role offers a unique opportunity to develop into a leading expert within one of Europe's most advanced short-term trading organisations. The role builds on Statkraft's growing short-term trading and flexibility optimisation activities in Spain.

In this role you will:

• Help establish robust shift routines, decision standards, handover practices and incident follow up processes for the new Madrid setup
• Act as a senior operational contributor during the ramp up phase and support knowledge transfer to future team members
• Bring practical insights from previous trading or dispatch environments to help professionalise and scale the Spanish setup
• Monitor and optimise renewable generation, battery storage and flexible asset portfolios in real time
• Execute trades and operational actions across Iberian short-term power markets
• Supervise and calibrate automated trading and optimisation algorithms
• Identify and capture value opportunities arising from forecast changes, market movements and system imbalances
• Act as a key operational interface towards internal stakeholders, asset operators and transmission system operators
• Ensure safe, reliable and compliant execution of trading and dispatch activities during your shift
• Contribute to incident handling, operational follow up and continuous improvement initiatives
• Work closely with quantitative analysts, developers and traders to improve models, tools and operational processes
• Support the development of new flexibility products, battery optimisation strategies and innovative trading solutions
• Help strengthen Statkraft's operational excellence culture through knowledge sharing, structured decision making and continuous learning

For the first phase of building our Madrid 24/7 setup, we are explicitly looking for experienced intraday or dispatch professionals who have already worked in a live trading or control room environment. This role is not primarily a graduate entry role. We need people who can contribute from day one, bring practical market knowledge, and help establish strong operational standards for a new team.

• At least 5 years of experience in short term power trading, intraday trading, dispatch operations, balancing, control room operations or energy management
• Practical experience in a live operational environment where decisions are made under time pressure
• Strong understanding of intraday market dynamics, forecast changes, imbalance exposure and renewable intermittency
• Experience with renewable generation, flexible assets, batteries or comparable asset portfolios
• Ability to combine commercial judgement with safe and reliable operational execution
• Confidence in supervising automated trading, dispatch or optimisation systems
• Strong analytical capabilities and a structured approach to problem solving
• High sense of ownership, discipline and responsibility in a 24/7 operational setup
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills
• Willingness to work in a 24/7 shift environment
• Fluent Spanish and English

It would be an advantage if you also have:

• Specific knowledge of Iberian power markets, OMIE or Red Eléctrica
• Experience with Python, SQL, data analytics or optimisation tools
• Experience in battery optimisation or flexibility trading
• Experience in improving operational procedures, shift handovers or incident follow up
• Experience mentoring less experienced traders or dispatchers
