Job Description

Roles & Responsibilities

A high-growth proprietary trading firm is looking for an exceptional Junior Trader to join its expanding energy markets desk in Dubai, UAE. The firm trades global energy products, operates a flat, entrepreneurial structure, and rewards performance with rapid responsibility and progression.

The opportunity

Join a specialist trading firm focused on liquid, exchange-traded energy markets, working directly on a live trading desk from day one. Benefit from a structured development path designed to fast-track high performers into senior risk-taking roles and eventual desk leadership. Receive a competitive tax-efficient salary equivalent to around £60,000 per annum tax free, plus performance bonus and comprehensive benefits.

Training and development

Take part in an intensive Junior Trader Development Programme combining classroom-style learning with on-desk mentoring in trading strategies, technical analysis, market fundamentals, and market-making principles. Work in a genuinely flat organisation where you sit alongside senior traders and partners, gaining direct exposure to decision-making and real-time markets from the start.

Responsibilities

  • Support the trading desk with real-time risk monitoring, trade execution and hedging activities in fast-moving energy markets.
  • Contribute to idea generation by researching market opportunities, analysing data, and preparing clear trade theses and execution plans for the desk.

Desired Candidate Profile

Top-tier academic background: a strong quantitative or Maths-related degree (e.g. Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, Economics with heavy quant) from a leading university. Exceptional numerical ability, strong mental maths, and a genuine passion for trading, financial markets, and high-performance, competitive environments. Resilience, composure under pressure, and the drive to continuously learn, improve, and outperform peers in a meritocratic setting.
