Senior Sales Trader
TEAM AND ROLE We are looking for a Senior Sales Trader / Originator to join our APAC team with a primary focus on Energy Attribute Certificate (EAC) markets across the region.

By working strategically to offer counterparties sustainable solutions, you genuinely help them move forward towards a greener future. You will work closely with STX’s broader APAC and global trading teams.
