Full Job Description
This is a sales and acquisition role in brokerage. 80-90% of your time will be spent on proactive cold calling, outbound outreach, and building your own portfolio.

The Role

You build a client book through outbound sales. You originate counterparties and work with the desk to get business executed.

Your day-to-day responsibilities include:
  • Outbound origination. Cold call, follow up, and turn new contacts into active counterparties across North America.
  • Portfolio building. Build and maintain relationships with corporates, utilities, project developers, and other buyers and sellers.
  • Deal support. Bring opportunities to the desk, support quoting and negotiation, and help get trades over the line in RECs, carbon, RNG, and related products.
  • Revenue growth. Grow revenue through call volume, disciplined follow-up, and practical deal structuring.
  • Market awareness. Learn the drivers of compliance and voluntary markets so your outreach is credible.
  • Internal coordination. Work with analysts, operations, and risk/KYC so clients can be onboarded and trades can settle.


Job Requirements
  • You are a salesperson first. You work a call list every day and open doors without inbound leads.
  • About 2 years of experience in sales, trading, or brokerage. Experience in environmental commodities (RECs, carbon, fuels, RNG) is a plus, not a must.
  • Fluent English.
  • Experience in environmental markets.
  • Strong communication and negotiation skills.
  • Ability to operate in a fast, deal-driven brokerage environment.
  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Environmental Science, or a related field preferred.
  • This role is based in New York. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States.


What We Offer
  • Salary: $90,000-$130,000 per year, depending on experience, plus performance-based compensation.
  • High impact in a lean team building our North American presence.
  • Global platform with a multinational client base and cross-border flows.
  • Room to grow. We promote from within.
  • Flat, collaborative team.
  • Performance-based rewards: quarterly bonus linked to individual and team results.
  • International exposure through industry events and conferences.
  • 20 days of paid time off per year.
