  • Supporting the traders at the Carbon Compliance desk with client outreach and follow-up

What we're looking for

  • Fluent in English and French, or a Scandinavian language (Swedish, Norwegian or Danish); this is a hard requirement

  • MBO, HBO or Bachelor's degree

  • Eager, energetic and proactive by nature

  • Persistent and determined; you don't stop after the first "no"

  • Independent, yet a strong team player

What we offer

  • A unique workplace on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange floor
