  • Build analytical frameworks and pricing models;
  • Manage positions dynamically in response to regulatory and market developments;
  • Collaborate with Business Development on origination and new market flows.

Is this about you?

  • 5+ years trading experience in commodities and/or environmental certificates;

  • Strong commercial instinct and entrepreneurial mindset;
  • Quantitative understanding and risk awareness;
  • Ability to operate independently in fast-moving markets;
