About this role
STX Group is seeking a Contract Specialist to support its biofuels trading operation in Amsterdam. You would manage the full lifecycle of contracts covering physical biofuels trades (FAME, HVO), environmental certificates, and non-disclosure agreements, working closely with the Biofuels and Certificates desks. The role demands precision in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating terms while maintaining accurate records and ensuring compliance and timely execution across a portfolio of transactions.
This position suits someone with a legal background and at least two years of hands-on experience in biofuels contracts or trading operations. You'll need fluency in commodity trading mechanics—INCOTERMS, delivery terms, pricing structures—and the ability to coordinate across internal teams and external counterparties. Beyond contract work, you'll contribute to process improvements using Microsoft SharePoint, Power Automate, and Copilot, making familiarity with these tools valuable.
The hybrid arrangement is based in Amsterdam North Holland. STX offers competitive compensation, pension contributions, professional development support, and sports and training opportunities. The company explicitly welcomes applications from candidates whose experience doesn't perfectly match every criterion, particularly if you're drawn to the role and the mission of advancing decarbonization strategies through environmental commodity trading.
