About the Role
We are seeking a Power Trader to build and execute trading strategies for Base’s retail load book and battery fleet, initially focusing on the ERCOT market with future expansion to PJM and other ISOs. This role involves contributing to both short-term trading and the company's longer-term hedging strategy, informed by fundamental market analysis and price views.
Responsibilities
- Trade short-term power products to capture incremental margin, with room to extend into longer-horizon and structured positions
- Strengthen Base's existing hedge strategy with a more rigorous, portfolio-construction-based approach to exposure management across the battery fleet and retail load book
- Contribute to Trading & Risk’s in-house long-term price forecasts - incorporating market fundamentals (congestion, transmission constraints, load/generation balance) into views that inform trading and hedging decisions
- Articulate market views, trading rationale, and P&L drivers clearly to leadership, shaping desk-level strategy
- Evaluate capacity markets and other structured products where they offer real hedge or trading value, in ERCOT and (as we expand) PJM and beyond
Requirements
- At least 3-5 years of experience trading power products on a bank, utility, or merchant trading desk, with direct exposure to forward curves, hedge instruments, and short-term markets
- Demonstrated experience in portfolio construction - architecting hedges across a book of exposures, not just single-position trades
- Strong fundamentals-based market view: understands how congestion, transmission constraints, and load/generation balance flow into price formation
- Deep experience in any ISO. Base is currently ERCOT-focused, with PJM expansion imminent and additional ISOs to follow
- Comfort operating as an individual contributor in a small, fast-moving team
- Hands-on proficiency building models yourself (Python; not dependent on an analyst to implement your ideas)
