We're a team of 450+ professionals from 50+ nationalities, all commercially driven, entrepreneurial and ready to turn potential into progress. Not just for us, but for the world too.

At STX, we're focused on so much more than making money. We're here to make a profit with a purpose.

Your success story starts here.

ABOUT THE FRONT OFFICE

Turning opportunities into solutions - that's the specialty of STX's Front Office. Our team works across various domains, including electricity, renewable gas, carbon offsets, biofuels and energy efficiency.

• Coordinate with Trading, Operations, Sustainability, Legal, and Compliance teams to bring complex deals and partnerships to life.

KEY REQUIREMENTS

• Around 6 - 9 years of experience in a commercial, analytical, technical, regulatory, or project-focused role.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate complex information into commercial opportunities.
• Curious, proactive, and comfortable operating in an environment where no two days are the same.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across functions.
• Interest in energy, sustainability, commodity markets, logistics, trading, engineering, finance, or related industries.
