US Power Trader

From America to the Nordics and back again: Join us on an epic trading expedition and help build our US business

Are you a talented and adventurous trader with a hunger for new challenges? Do you dream of immersing yourself in a vibrant international market, experiencing a different culture, and expanding your professional horizons? If so, we have a thrilling opportunity that will ignite your passion for trading and take your career to new heights.

We are a dynamic and rapidly growing company, dedicated to revolutionizing the trading industry. As part of our ambitious expansion plans, we are seeking an exceptional US trader to embark on an extraordinary journey with us. Picture this: you will spend 6-12 months in the enchanting city of Aalborg, Denmark, where you'll have the chance to make a significant impact on our operations while embracing the Nordic way of life.

We are located in Aalborg, a hidden gem nestled on the picturesque shores of the Limfjord, offers a unique blend of history, innovation, and breathtaking natural beauty. Known for its friendly and open-minded atmosphere, this vibrant city provides the perfect backdrop for both personal and professional growth. From its charming cobblestone streets to its renowned waterfront restaurants, Aalborg will captivate your senses and inspire your creativity. Check out this short video about the city

During your time in Denmark, you will work closely with our talented team of international traders, collaborating on high-stakes trades and leveraging your expertise to achieve remarkable results. This immersive experience will expose you to diverse trading strategies, cutting-edge technologies, and a thriving global marketplace, ensuring that your skills are sharpened and expanded like never before.

But our journey doesn't end in Aalborg. Upon your return to the United States, you will play a pivotal role in establishing our presence in the American market. Your newfound knowledge, cross-cultural insights, and invaluable connections combined with your US trading experience will empower you to contribute to our growth initiatives and to help us build a dynamic and prosperous trading business from the ground up.

What sets us apart? We value passion, ambition, and the willingness to embrace challenges. As an integral part of our team, you will enjoy a supportive and collaborative work environment where your ideas will be heard, and your contributions will make a tangible difference. We believe that great achievements come from pushing boundaries and venturing into the unknown.

So, if you are ready to embark on a life-changing adventure, to explore the wonders of Aalborg, and to become an influential force in shaping our trading business back in the United States, we invite you to join us on this exhilarating journey. Take a leap of faith, seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and let your trading skills soar to new heights.

When given the chance, I eagerly jumped at the opportunity to help build a new outfit from scratch within Norlys Energy Trading—an entire continent open to trade, with no legacy setup. It's a company known for its healthy work culture and its commitment to making ambitious and patient investments. What's not to like? We will succeed by bringing together an awesome team of specialists—traders, quants, and developers—in an entrepreneurial pressure cooker of single-minded commercial focus. This journey is certain to be intense for everyone involved!
