About the job

We are looking for a Broker to support and expand the Biomethane desk at OLYX on a full-time (40h) basis. In this role, you will originate and facilitate transactions across the European biomethane market, connecting biomethane producers and project developers with gas companies, utilities, and trading houses.

The role requires strong commercial instincts and a deep understanding of the rapidly evolving European biomethane and renewable gas landscape, identifying arbitrage opportunities across physical and environmental attributes (e.g., GoOs, certificates), negotiating transactions, and ensuring compliance with sustainability and regulatory frameworks.

Tasks and Responsibilities

As a member of the Biomethane desk, you will be responsible for generating and structuring trade ideas while managing and expanding your own client portfolio. Strong interpersonal skills are essential to build trust and lasting relationships with both clients and colleagues.

  • Client Engagement and Portfolio Management: Establish and nurture strong relationships with biomethane producers, project developers, utilities, and industrial clients. Act as a trusted advisor by linking commercial opportunities to decarbonization strategies and compliance needs (e.g., Scope 1 reductions, fuel mandates)

  • Deal Origination & Execution: Source, structure, and intermediate spot and long-term biomethane transactions (physical gas and certificates/attributes) across Europe. Identify and execute cross-border and cross-product arbitrage opportunities (e.g., between national support schemes, certificate markets, and physical gas hubs). Drive market liquidity and ensure efficient execution while maintaining high ethical and professional standards.

  • Market Analysis & Regulatory Compliance: Monitor pricing dynamics across biomethane, natural gas hubs, and certificate markets.

  • Build in-depth knowledge of European and national regulatory frameworks, including:

    1. RED II / RED III sustainability criteria

    2. Guarantees of Origin (GoOs) and national registries (e.g. ERGaR, AIB)

    3. Mass balancing and cross-border trade rules

    4. Voluntary certification schemes (ISCC, REDcert)

  • Track developments in subsidy schemes, grid injection tariffs, and decarbonization policies impacting supply and demand.

  • Translate regulatory and market changes into actionable trading insights for clients.

About you

Excellent command of English; additional languages are a plus, with a preference for Dutch, German, Danish, or Spanish. 

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Economics, Finance, Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent relevant work experience.

  • At least 2 years of experience in biomethane and related products.

  • Strong understanding of European gas markets and/or renewable energy certificates.

  • Commercially driven with a deal-maker mindset.

  • Self-starter: proactive, resilient, and entrepreneurial.

  • Able to navigate complex and evolving regulatory environments.

  • Strong interpersonal and relationship-building skills.

  • Based in the Netherlands, or willing to relocate. Visa sponsorship is also available.

What’s in it for you?

  • Competitive Compensation: Receive a competitive salary, with the opportunity to earn a profit share based on your performance and contributions, and the option to participate in the share program of OLYX.

  • Daily Lunch & Fruit: Enjoy a fresh, healthy lunch provided every day at the office, along with fresh fruit available throughout the week.

  • Well-being & Social Environment: Recharge in our in-house yoga room, unwind in the game room, join regular ping pong tournaments, and take part in team activities and social outings.

  • Dynamic & Driven Team: Work alongside an ambitious, international, and collaborative team with a strong performance mindset.

  • Growth Opportunities: We support your development through tailored learning and career advancement.

  • Inspiring Workspace: Based in the heart of Amsterdam, our office offers a spacious garden, ideal for stepping away, connecting with colleagues, or enjoying lunch outdoors.

  • The Annual OLYX Trip: Join us for our annual company trip to celebrate success and connect with the team.
