That’s exactly where this role sits.What you can expect from me: maximum ownership and zero hand-holding (in a good way). If something’s broken, we fix it. If something can be automated, we automate it. If scaling needs structure, we build it.Outside of work, I’m usually in the mountains (hiking, climbing, skiing), trying new food spots in Munich, or deep in some DIY project.If you want to help build a market ops setup that actually scales across Europe — I’d love to talk.Cheers, JuliusYour Contact in our People TeamYour contact person is Varsha Singh ([email protected]).If you have any questions, feel free to send us an email to [email protected] are looking forward to receiving your application!About usWe are an energy trader and market leader for trading flexible energy systems in Europe.Beyond AI-powered trading, Entrix provides innovative solutions for long-term revenue security and grid-supportive battery operation.
