  • Track market trends, policy changes, and commercial opportunities across EU carbon and energy markets.
  • Work closely with internal traders and analysts to align client needs with market positions and strategy.
  • Prepare proposals, presentations, and trading documentation in collaboration with the wider sales and trading team.
  • Maintain accurate CRM records and contribute to the company’s commercial intelligence.
What You Bring:
  • 3+ years in a front-office sales, trading, or business development role in energy, commodities, or environmental markets.
  • Proven experience managing corporate clients and closing deals in complex or regulated markets.
  • Deep understanding of EU environmental products (EU ETS, GOOs, voluntary offsets).
  • Native or fluent German and strong English (written and spoken).
  • Strong communication skills, confidence in client meetings, and a structured, data-driven sales approach.
  • Familiarity with CRM systems and comfort using Excel/PowerPoint for sales materials.

Why join?
  • This is a great opportunity to join a fast-growing firm shaping how businesses transition to a low-carbon economy through innovative financial solutions.
  • You'll play key role in driving sales across the German/EU Market and delivering growth.
