About the role

Join our Commercial Market Data Licensing Team at RWE Supply & Trading (RWEST) and help shape how market data powers smarter trading decisions. As a Working Student, you’ll dive into the world of data licensing, compliance, and governance - a high-impact, highly connected space spanning trading, IT, and compliance.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll learn by doing: navigating vendor rules, improving our permissioning frameworks, and translating insights into actions that keep our business safe, compliant, and efficient.

 

  • Support market data licensing and compliance activities that enable safe and compliant data usage across RWEST
  • Maintain and improve permissioning frameworks so colleagues get the right data at the right time
  • Collaborate with stakeholders across Trading, IT, Risk, and Compliance to align on decisions and solutions
  • Contribute to process improvements and documentation to make our ways of working simpler and stronger
  • Assist with vendor interactions and help keep our data inventory up to date and well governed

 

Job requirements and experience

  • Currently enrolled at university, ideally in business, economics, finance, data analytics, information systems, engineering, or a related field
  • Strong analytical mindset, attention to detail, and a structured way of working
  • Good working knowledge of MS Office, especially Excel and SharePoint
  • Curiosity and willingness to learn about market data, licensing, compliance, and energy trading processes
  • Comfortable communicating in English with colleagues from different teams and asking questions when something is unclear
  • Reliable team player who enjoys collaborating, taking responsibility for assigned tasks, and contributing to a respectful and inclusive working environment

 

Advantageous, but not essential

  • Exposure to financial markets or energy trading
  • Experience with and interest in data and AI tools, e.g. using Copilot to create AI agents
  • Understanding of access control or permissioning concepts

 

What we value most is someone who continuously demonstrates courage, thrives to create impact and seeks to build trusting, collaborative relationships. So, even if you think you do not yet display all of the skills listed above we would still like to hear from you.
