About the role

This is a brand new role for us and we will be looking for you to utilise your networks to identify, develop, and secure high-value offtake opportunities with producers across Europe.

In this commercially focused role at the heart of the energy transition, you'll structure innovative transactions that generate tangible P&L while operating within defined risk parameters. You'll combine market insight, analytical expertise, and strategic thinking to unlock new opportunities, support renewable certificate management, and ensure accurate inventory and position reporting.

If you thrive in a fast-paced trading environment and want to make a meaningful impact on the growth of renewable fuels, this is an opportunity to help shape the market of tomorrow.

How will I spend my time in this role?

  • Develop and maintain strong commercial relationships with producers and customers throughout Europe;

  • Research and analyse both quantitative and qualitative data related to the European and global biofuels market;

  • Manage the Trade Agreement process from obtaining approvals through to execution;

  • Ensure all contractual obligations are met while operating within evolving credit, cash flow, foreign exchange, and risk management frameworks.

What skills/experience do I need to be successful?

  • Background in the commodities sector, such as power, gas, or environmental markets, preferably in a commercial or risk management role.

What sets us apart?

  • Global Impact: With offices in the UK, US, and Australia, and plans for further expansion, you'll be part of a dynamic, globally-minded team, with opportunities to explore new markets and make a difference on a global scale.

  • Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion: We celebrate our diverse culture and value individuals irrespective of background, disability, religion, gender identity, sexuality, or ethnicity. Join a team where diversity is not just welcomed but celebrated as a key driver of growth and innovation.

However, this can vary depending on the role. We may invite you for a face-to-face meeting or require only 1 video interview.
