Energy Sector Momentum Trader (Remote, Funded) — San Francisco, CA

An energy sector momentum trader at Maverick focuses on the US energy complex — exploration and production, midstream pipelines, refiners, and oilfield services. The sector is cyclical, commodity-driven, and politically sensitive, which makes it both volatile and tradeable for someone who understands the macro and capital-cycle dynamics behind it. San Francisco, CA: San Francisco hosts the largest concentration of asset management on the West Coast — BlackRock has its tech operations here, Wells Fargo is headquartered in the city, and Charles Schwab is headquartered in nearby Westlake. The technology industry overlap matters for traders focused on tech equities. Pacific Time means a 6:30am market open. What you'll trade: Large-cap integrated names (XOM, CVX) for option liquidity and stability, E&P names for leveraged exposure to crude moves, midstream MLPs and corporations for income-plus-momentum plays, and refiners for the crack-spread cycle. ETFs (XLE, XOP, OIH) for thematic exposure. Risk framework: Energy carries commodity correlation risk, geopolitical headline risk, and overnight gap risk on weekend news. Maverick caps single-name exposure, total sector exposure, and requires hedging plans for positions held over major inventory or OPEC events. Why Maverick funds this role: Energy is one of the most cyclical sectors in US markets and one of the most tradeable when you understand the capital cycle. Maverick funds specialists here because the macro-fundamental linkage rewards expertise that doesn't translate from other sectors. Traders who already follow crude, natural gas, and the OPEC calendar as part of their daily routine People with a macro mindset — energy moves on geopolitics as much as fundamentals Candidates with patience for cyclical positioning, not just short-term momentum Traders who can size for headline risk over weekends and holidays #J-18808-Ljbffr Maverick Trading
