Life at Onyx
A culture where talent thrives
Driven people flourish here. Hear from the traders, quants and analysts building the future of energy markets.
Head of Desk, Fuel Oil
“What’s great about the role at Onyx is the variety: the market’s constantly behaving in new and unique ways. And when it gets busy it’s genuinely exciting, and you can be left physically exhausted after a day of trading. In order to do well in the role you need to be intellectually curious and self-critical. If you don’t evaluate your processes and decision-making every day you’ll be left behind.”
