Sales Trader - Voluntary Carbon Market

AFS Energy

The Role

This is a hands-on sales role with a clear focus on new business. Cold calling is a core part of the job, and you will be expected to convert prospects into long-term clients. If you thrive in a fast-moving market, enjoy the chase, and want to work on something that genuinely matters, this could be your next step.

Job requirements

• Prospecting and cold calling to bring in new clients and expand your portfolio.
• Managing and growing existing client relationships with a focus on high-potential markets.
• Developing short and long-term trading strategies in line with company objectives.
• Researching market trends, policy developments, and client industry dynamics to inform business decisions.
• Creating analyses and presentations to keep clients informed on market developments and new projects.
• Building your network through industry events, fairs, and congresses.

What We Are Looking For

• 2 to 3+ years of experience in sales or business development, including cold calling and converting leads into clients.
• Fluent in English; additional languages are a genuine plus.
• Energetic, curious, and proactive: you do not wait for opportunities, you create them.
• Able to adapt quickly to a market that is constantly evolving.
• A natural negotiator who follows through until the deal is done.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent.
• Knowledge of the Voluntary Carbon Market is a plus, but not a hard requirement.
