Student Compliance Assistant

As a Student Compliance Assistant at Nitor Energy, you will support our ambitious Legal & Compliance team with the day-to-day activities that underpin our trading activities and broader business operations. You will help maintain high standards in market conduct, internal governance, and regulatory awareness while gaining hands-on experience with the systems, assessments, and decision processes that drive a modern energy-trading company.

This role is suited for someone in the middle of a relevant education who wants to work in a fast-moving environment where execution matters, and where compliance is treated as a practical, value-adding discipline rather than a bureaucratic exercise. You will be taught the technical regulatory framework – your ability to analyze data, organize tasks, and think logically matters far more than prior legal training.

Let’s dive into the details!

Your tasks will include

• Monitoring market activity through our trade-surveillance systems
• Planning and executing selected compliance monitoring activities independently
• Screening contractual counterparties for compliance, sanctions, and reputational risks
• Maintaining and updating internal policies and guidelines
• Supporting internal reporting
• Monitoring regulatory developments
• Providing ad hoc guidance to the business on compliance-related matters

What we’re looking for 

• You have at least 2 years left of your studies within risk management, law, business, finance, mathematics, or a comparable field, and are available to work for 10-16 hours a week across two weekdays
• You work systematically, can structure your own tasks, and take ownership of getting things done
• You are comfortable interpreting data and have a strong analytical mindset with an interest in how European energy markets function
• You have an execution-driven mindset and operate well in an environment that values speed, clarity, and pragmatism
• You can challenge assumptions, ask precise questions, and communicate your reasoning clearly
• You are a proficient user in Excel and PowerPoint
• Experience with GDPR, NIS2, or CER is an advantage but not a requirement

What we offer 

• A young, dynamic, ambitious and fun work environment
• Real responsibility from day one and close collaboration with experienced colleagues
• Exposure to a broad range of regulatory and commercial issues in energy trading
• The opportunity to contribute and make your mark on a young company’s development
• A competitive student position with flexibility around exams
• A fun and social work environment with events such as Friday bars, poker tournaments, summer and Christmas parties etc. throughout the year. We also offer weekly sports activities to boost team spirit, such as our Nitor-running club!
• Delicious lunch arrangement with food from Meyers in our own canteen
• Brand new office facilities located in the heart of Aarhus, right next to Dokk1 and Letbanen

Expected start date: Beginning of January

Application deadline: December 15

Please note that we review applications on a rolling basis and may close the position early if we find the right candidate.
