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.
