Working in Portfolio Management  

As part of Statkraft’s front office, the Central European Origination team concludes non-standard, structured and often complex transactions in wholesale energy markets. To this end, it cooperates closely with Statkraft’s trading desks and the other regional Origination teams to offer pan-European tailored energy solutions. The responsibilities within the team are divided among Origination, Market Access and Portfolio Management.

Portfolio Management consists of two teams. The Structuring & Pricing team structures and prices all non-standard commodity contracts and manages the resulting position. The portfolio consists of tailor-made long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) as well as other non-standard flexible and structured wholesale products. The Quantitative Portfolio Management team aids decision making by analysing large amounts of data, building software tools and ideating as well as programming models for pricing and position management.
