Executive search for energy trading
Senior appointments and team builds
We specialise in senior appointments across the energy trading market: individual hires and team builds.
The same person who advises on the search is the one approaching candidates directly. In a market where the best people often aren't actively looking, the quality of that conversation is what makes the difference.
Candidates are approached with discretion. Outside of formal mandates, we make introductions where we see a genuine fit.
Senior professionals considering a move are welcome to contact us in confidence.

We have worked with Aurelius on multiple senior appointments over the last few years. The value is in the judgment and the access. Alex understands how our business operates and where hires succeed or fail in practice. The process is diligent, discreet, and well managed. The people placed have performed.
High integrity, a strong network, and a great headhunter who understands our business and consistently delivers. A trusted partner for our most sensitive appointments.
Alex understands how our business works, and that understanding has carried through as our needs have evolved. We trust him with appointments we wouldn't put to the open market.
One of the more professional recruiters I have dealt with. Alex approached me with a specific opportunity, understood the market, and understood the nuances of what mattered in the negotiation. I felt well represented throughout. He still checks in.
