Senior Gas Trader - Zug, Switzerland

Are you a seasoned gas trader looking for real ownership, meaningful risk, and the freedom to run your own ideas? Our client, a highly regarded player in the global commodities sector, is hiring a Senior Gas Trader to join their Zug office on a permanent basis.

This is a senior, front-office role with significant responsibility. You will drive proprietary natural gas trading activity, shape and lead trading strategies, and potentially build and manage your own trading book and team.



The Role

As Senior Gas Trader, you will focus on natural gas within the wider energy and commodities space, deploying fundamental strategies and taking full ownership of a proprietary trading book.

You will:

  • Run a natural gas trading book with clear P&L accountability.
  • Develop and execute fundamental trading strategies using macro and micro market drivers.
  • Work closely with other traders, analysts and risk to maximise risk-adjusted returns.
  • Actively manage positions within defined limits, optimising risk and capital usage.
  • Contribute to the ongoing development of the trading platform and strategy roadmap.


What You'll Bring

You live and breathe the natural gas markets. You understand pricing drivers, regional dynamics, and how supply-demand imbalances move the curve - and you can translate that insight into profitable, risk-aware trading strategies.

Ideally, you will have:

  • Deep experience in natural gas trading, with a strong commodities or energy background.
  • A proven track record running a proprietary trading book, preferably in European gas markets.
  • Hands-on exposure to fundamental strategies and data-driven decision-making.
  • Comfort in a true front-office environment: taking risk, executing trades, and managing positions.
  • Experience mentoring junior traders or leading a small team (or a clear appetite to do so).

If you enjoy owning a book, being accountable for results, and having the autonomy to implement your own views and research, you will thrive in this environment.



What You'll Get

You will join a well-capitalised, respected commodities platform where trading is genuinely proprietary and performance is recognised.

  • Real ownership of a natural gas trading book and strategies.
  • The opportunity to help shape and potentially lead a trading team.
  • A collaborative, high-performance culture where your ideas are heard and acted on.
  • Exposure to key European gas hubs and access to strong analytical and risk infrastructure.
  • Competitive compensation aligned with experience and performance.

Existing familiarity with Zug, Switzerland or broader European gas trading hubs will help you integrate quickly, but the priority is strong gas trading expertise and a demonstrable track record.



Interested?

If you are an experienced Senior Gas Trader ready to take ownership of a high-impact proprietary role in Zug, we would like to hear from you.

Please reply to this email with your CV, or reach out directly to arrange a confidential conversation about this opportunity and our client's set-up in more detail.
