Management of derivatives trading and enhancement of hedging strategies

Monjasa seeks to strengthen their derivatives trading operations and is therefore on the lookout for a new member of their derivatives trading team based in Copenhagen and Panama City.

You will be working closely with the derivative trading team to identify the risk of purchases and ensure Monjasa’s profitability. You will report to Michael Korsager Nielsen, Oil Derivatives Trader, and will be based at Monjasa’s Copenhagen office, but you will have great flexibility regarding your work location.
