Product Manager for Automated Trading

At Eneco, we are working towards a smarter, cleaner, and more sustainable future. Through our "One Planet" strategy, we aim to achieve climate neutrality by 2035 for both our organization and our customers. We’re delivering this change by providing innovative digital capabilities and smart solutions. For Eneco’s large international portfolio, we trade commodities such as power and gas, where we need to manage our market exposure and risk. Eneco is active in proprietary trading which requires reliable trading automation and algorithmic trading. The better we manage and execute our medium to long term trading strategies, the better the price we can offer our counterparties, thereby driving the energy transition forward as a result. You’ll be responsible for modernizing these trading capabilities at Eneco.

• Help us to become climate neutral by 2035.
