About the role

As a Biofuels Trader at OTC Flow, you’ll be at the forefront of the environmental commodities market, connecting clients with the instruments they need to meet regulatory and sustainability goals. This role is equal parts commercial drive and market awareness: you’ll proactively engage with prospective clients, understand their environmental exposure, and identify where products can bring value.

Your mission is to build and maintain a profitable client portfolio. Through a mix of cold calling, networking, and market engagement, you’ll become a trusted counterparty to companies across industries and borders. You’ll act as the direct link between clients and the market—facilitating trades, brokering deals, and ensuring smooth execution every step of the way.

Responsibilities

• Client Portfolio Development: Proactively expand your client base within the environmental commodities sector.
• Lead Generation & Outreach: Utilize cold calling, email outreach, and face-to-face meetings to identify new business opportunities and establish strong relationships with potential clients.
• Trade Execution: Efficiently execute trades in various environmental commodities, ensuring precise and timely transactions that meet client needs.
• Client Engagement: Cultivate and maintain relationships with clients, understanding their requirements and offering tailored solutions to address their specific environmental compliance and sustainability needs.

About you

• Educational Background: Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Economics, Environmental Science, or a related field.
• Experience: 1-2+ years in commodity trading, B2B sales, business development, or client-facing roles, preferably within commodities, energy markets, or environmental sectors.
• Sales Acumen: Natural ability to sell, negotiate, and close deals, with a strong focus on building long-term client relationships.
• Proactive & Resilient: Self-driven and comfortable with cold calling and outreach to potential clients, with the ability to manage multiple opportunities in a fast-paced environment.
• Language Proficiency: Fluency in English plus another EU language is essential (German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish, or any Nordic language).
• Adaptability & Resilience: Ability to work under pressure and stay focused in a high-performance, ever-changing market.

What we offer

• Competitive Remuneration: Attractive base salary with performance-based bonuses that reward achievement of sales and profit targets.
• Growth & Career Development: A meritocratic environment where you can grow your career, with opportunities for advancement as the business expands.
• Recognition & Incentives: Celebrate your successes with team awards, company events, and performance bonuses.
