Sales Associate

This is not a traditional sales role. You will work at the intersection of energy, environmental, and financial markets, leveraging CFP Energy's cross-commodity platform to develop tailored solutions for clients and uncover new commercial opportunities.

• Identify and develop new business opportunities across key European markets, with a particular focus on the Nordics, Southern Europe, Central & Eastern Europe (CEE), and DACH.
• Build and maintain a strong network of clients, prospects, and market participants across the energy, environmental, and financial markets.
• Leverage your market knowledge and commercial network to identify opportunities for CFP Energy's growing range of products and solutions.
• Proactively engage senior decision-makers and develop trusted, long-term client relationships.
• Understand client requirements, market dynamics, and commercial challenges to identify opportunities where CFP Energy can add value.
• Work closely with internal Trading, Origination, Structuring, Risk, and Operations teams to develop tailored solutions for clients.
• Negotiate and close commercial agreements, taking ownership of opportunities from initial prospecting through to execution.
• Stay close to market developments, including changes in regulation, pricing, supply and demand, and emerging opportunities across European energy and environmental markets.
• Develop market intelligence and share insights internally to help shape sales strategy and identify new areas for growth.
• Represent CFP Energy at industry conferences, events, and client meetings, acting as a knowledgeable ambassador for the business and its products.
• Contribute to the continued expansion of CFP Energy's European client network and wider commercial strategy.

About You

We are looking for a commercially minded salesperson who is passionate about markets and enjoys being at the centre of the action.

You may come from:

• Direct energy markets, including gas, power, environmental, or related commodity markets.
• FX or foreign exchange sales, with a strong understanding of financial markets and experience building a client network.
• Financial markets, including commodities, derivatives, structured products, or other institutional/client-facing environments.

Ideal Candidate

You don't necessarily need to have experience across all of CFP Energy's products. What matters most is your commercial instinct, market understanding, ability to build relationships, and appetite to win new business.

You will ideally have:

• Proven experience in a sales, business development, origination, or client-facing commercial role.
• Experience across one or more of our priority regions: Nordics, Southern Europe, CEE, or DACH.
• Strong market awareness and the ability to understand and communicate complex products and market dynamics.
• Fluent English. Additional European languages are highly desirable.
• A genuine interest in energy, commodity, or financial markets.
• A track record of developing new business and building long-term client relationships.
• Strong commercial and negotiation skills, with the confidence to engage senior stakeholders.
• An entrepreneurial mindset and the ability to identify opportunities rather than wait for them.
• The ability to work collaboratively across Trading, Origination, Structuring, Risk, and Operations teams.
• The drive, resilience, and curiosity required to succeed in a fast-moving market environment.

Equal Opportunities

The CF Group is committed to ensuring equal opportunities, fairness of treatment, dignity and respect, and the elimination of all forms of discrimination in the workplace for all employees/contractors and job applicants.
