Responsable Biofuels & Feedstocks (H/F)

You are passionate about the energy transition and motivated by the opportunity to accelerate decarbonisation through physical commodities trading. You combine a strong understanding of biofuels and feedstock markets with a commercial mindset, an entrepreneurial approach and a genuine appetite for building a business.
We are looking for an experienced commodities professional who understands how biofuels markets work from both a physical and commercial perspective.
You are commercially driven, analytical and comfortable making decisions in a fast-moving market. You enjoy being close to the physical market, developing relationships and turning market intelligence into actionable trading strategies.
As Head of Biofuels & Feedstocks, you will have the opportunity to build and lead a key business area within Caely. You will take ownership of developing the company's biofuels and feedstocks strategy, growing the trading book, expanding the network of counterparties and identifying new markets and opportunities.
The ideal candidate is a confident leader who combines market expertise, entrepreneurial thinking and execution ability. You are comfortable operating with autonomy, but thrive in a close-knit team where ideas are challenged and decisions are made quickly.

The Role

As Head of Biofuels & Feedstocks, you will have overall responsibility for developing and growing Caely activities across biofuels and relevant feedstock markets. You will define and execute the commercial strategy for the business, while remaining closely involved in the market and day-to-day trading activity.
You will be responsible for identifying market opportunities, developing supply and offtake relationships, structuring transactions and managing the commercial and risk implications of the trading book.
You will act as a key internal knowledge centre for biofuels and feedstocks, ensuring that market developments, regulatory changes, supply-demand dynamics and pricing trends are translated into clear commercial views and trading decisions.
This is not a purely managerial role. We are looking for someone who wants to build the business, originate opportunities and trade.

The role will consist of, but not be limited to, the following actions:

• Develop and execute Caely biofuels and feedstocks trading strategy.
• Build and manage a profitable physical and/or paper trading book across relevant biofuel and feedstock markets.
• Identify and originate new commercial opportunities across the supply chain.
• Develop long-term relationships with producers, feedstock suppliers, aggregators, traders, blenders, refiners, airlines, shipping companies and other market participants.
• Work closely with risk management, operations, finance and compliance to ensure transactions are commercially attractive and operationally executable.

Requirements

In order to be considered for the role, you will ideally meet the following:

• 5+ years of relevant experience in biofuels, feedstocks, physical commodities trading, energy trading, agricultural commodities, renewable fuels or a closely related sector.
• Demonstrable experience in physical commodity trading, origination or commercial business development.
• Strong understanding of biofuel and feedstock markets and their underlying supply-demand fundamentals.
• Strong understanding of commodity pricing, risk management and trading economics.
• Experience working with physical flows, logistics, storage, transportation and/or supply chains is highly desirable.
• Strong understanding of renewable fuel regulations and sustainability frameworks is a significant advantage.

The Offer

• Work in an inspiring, fast-growing commodity sector
• Competitive salary with a bonus scheme
• Collaborative and ambitious culture
• Get support with a relocation budget
• Unlimited holidays
• Join a diverse team with 15+ nationalities
• Pension scheme
• Access a fully equipped gym 24/7
• Weekly bootcamp fitness classes
• Annual company trip
• Free electric bikes during the day
