Job description

Overview

Backed by one of Europe’s leading investment firms, the company is expanding its Frankfurt operation and looking to bring on two commercially driven Sales Traders to own the German market.

The role covers the full spectrum of environmental products including bio methane, THG/GHG quotas, renewable fuels, carbon credits, GOs, EECs, and PPAs, and is positioned in a market that is rapidly growing in regulatory and commercial importance.

Benefits

Why this role?

• Be part of an expanding German presence; you will build the market rather than inherit a patch.
• Work within a young, international team of 30+ nationalities where individual contribution is genuinely recognised.
• Institutional investment backing and a clear growth trajectory; career progression is real.
• Operate in one of the most dynamic regulation‑driven commodity markets in Europe, turning market knowledge into a commercial edge.
• Flat structure and entrepreneurial culture; decisions are made quickly and good traders are rewarded.
• Strong team culture with regular social events and company trips.

Responsibilities

You’ll be responsible for developing and managing a portfolio of German clients and counter‑parties, brokering and trading across environmental products including bio methane certificates, THG quotas, renewable fuels, and environmental certificates. You’ll run your own BD pipeline, negotiate and close commercial transactions, and build long‑term relationships with producers, suppliers, traders, and obligated parties, while staying close to regulatory developments shaping the German market.

Qualifications

• Strong German speaker with fluent English (non‑negotiable).
• 2‑3 years of experience in environmental commodities, renewable energy, commodity brokerage, or energy sales trading.
• Hands‑on exposure to one or more of: bio methane, THG/GHG quotas, biofuels, Guarantees of Origin, or renewable certificates.
• Experience with similar firms, broker houses, or renewable trading firms is strongly preferred.
• EU citizen or valid German work permit; no visa sponsorship available.
• Based in Frankfurt or open to relocating.
• All commute costs covered.

The ideal profile is commercially aggressive, relationship‑oriented, and comfortable generating new business independently. If you are analytical but not client‑facing, this one isn’t for you.
