Why ExxonMobil’s Americas Gas & Power Trading

Most financial trading seats are either pure financial shops trading screens and published data or utility/IPP desks managing a narrow asset position. It is rare to have a power seat embedded in a platform that trades both sides of the gas-power linkage at scale.

This is a role for someone who wants to operate at the center of a growing platform - building a power book with the kind of cross-commodity intelligence, infrastructure access, and institutional staying power that most pure-play trading firms simply cannot replicate. ExxonMobil offers competitive total compensation, world-class benefits, and the kind of career continuity and a long-term investment in people that most trading shops simply do not offer.

What role you will play in our team

ExxonMobil’s Americas Gas & Power Trading group is looking for a Sr. Financial Power Trader to join our platform, running a point of view financial power book across major North American ISOs. This is a senior seat at one of the largest energy companies in the world, backed by a material gas and power position, and the cross-commodity intelligence that comes from trading both commodities. You will trade a point of view across power curves, spreads, congestion, and heat rates grounded in fundamental insight, and the gas-power linkage that defines today’s market. This is a P&L owning seat with the mandate to scale across the broader business.
