Sales Trader – Polish Market

Location: Amsterdam
Department: Sales
Employment: Full-time

Help shape the future of environmental markets

Are you commercially driven, confident on the phone and fascinated by financial markets? Do you enjoy building relationships, identifying opportunities and taking ownership of your own results?

We are looking for an ambitious Sales Trader focused on the Polish market to join our growing team in Amsterdam.

In this role, you will combine sales, market knowledge and trading to develop long-term relationships with clients and business partners. You will have significant freedom to build your own network, identify new opportunities and grow your portfolio.

Your role

As a Sales Trader, you will be responsible for developing business within the Polish market. You will work closely with clients and market participants to understand their requirements, provide market intelligence and identify opportunities that create value for both sides.

This is a highly commercial role where initiative and ownership are key. You will be expected to actively develop new relationships while continuing to strengthen existing ones.

Your responsibilities

• Build and expand a portfolio of clients and business relationships within the Polish market.
• Identify and approach potential clients through outbound calling, networking, events and other forms of business development.
• Develop trusted, long-term relationships with clients and understand their commercial and trading requirements.
• Discuss market developments, pricing and trading opportunities with clients on a daily basis.
• Identify potential transactions and coordinate their execution from initial contact through to completion.
• Follow developments across environmental commodity and financial markets and translate relevant information into actionable insights for clients.
• Stay up to date with existing and newly introduced products, market structures and relevant regulations.
• Take ownership of your commercial performance and work towards ambitious individual revenue targets.
• Contribute to the continued expansion of the business and strengthen its position within the market.

What we're looking for

We are looking for someone who combines commercial instinct with an interest in markets and trading.

You will ideally have:

• A bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Business, or a comparable field.
• Professional experience in a commercial, trading, brokerage, recruitment or other target-driven client-facing environment.
• Fluent Polish and excellent English communication skills.
• A genuine interest in financial markets, commodities and the broader energy or environmental sector.
• Experience with cold calling, lead generation and proactive business development.
• Strong communication and negotiation abilities.
• A competitive and entrepreneurial mindset, with the drive to build something of your own.
• The resilience to handle rejection and keep pursuing opportunities.
• A high level of independence, ownership and accountability.
• The ability to perform effectively in a fast-moving and commercially demanding environment.

You don't need to tick every box. If you have a strong commercial track record, excellent communication skills and the ambition to develop within financial markets, we'd still like to hear from you.

What you can expect

You'll join an international team in Amsterdam where your individual contribution has a direct impact on the growth of the business.

We offer:

• A challenging role within a rapidly developing international business.
• A competitive base salary with an attractive performance-based bonus structure.
• Significant autonomy to develop your own client portfolio and market.
• A clear opportunity to grow your responsibilities as the business expands.
• Potential transition to a permanent position after an initial period, subject to performance and mutual fit.
• Opportunities to travel internationally and attend industry events and conferences.
• A collaborative and entrepreneurial working environment.
• Daily lunch, snacks and refreshments at the office.
• Reimbursement of business travel and commuting expenses, including public transport and bicycle options.
• 25 days of annual leave.
• Regular team events, sports activities and company outings.
• Opportunities for professional and personal development.

Why this role?

This isn't a traditional sales position where you'll simply manage an existing customer list.

You'll have the opportunity to build your own market.

From your first conversations with potential clients to negotiating transactions and developing long-term relationships, you will have ownership of your commercial activities and results. For someone who is ambitious, competitive and entrepreneurial, this is an opportunity to build a career in a rapidly evolving market.

We aim to keep our recruitment process straightforward and personal.

1. Apply – Send us your CV. A short motivation is appreciated but not essential.
2. Initial conversation – We'll schedule a short introductory call to discuss your experience and ambitions.
3. Interviews – You'll meet members of the commercial and management team in one or two interviews.

The exact process may vary depending on the candidate and circumstances.
