Location: Utrecht, Netherlands

We are looking for a proactive and analytical Portfolio Analyst to join our growing team in Utrecht.

In this role, you will support the management and development of our Energy Attribute Certificate (EAC) portfolio, which will be your primary focus, alongside our carbon credit portfolio. You will work closely with colleagues across the Portfolio and Sales teams to ensure accurate portfolio administration, support market analysis, and help match available products with client needs.

Your responsibilities will include maintaining accurate overviews of portfolio positions, tracking transactions and inventory, and supporting stock management, reservations, allocations and the retirement of certificates for clients. You will work with complex Excel files to monitor portfolio data, ensure accurate records and contribute to portfolio reporting and analysis. You will also use tools such as Power BI to review and interpret relevant data.

Alongside these operational activities, you will research EAC and carbon credit market trends, monitor relevant regulatory developments and help identify potential sourcing opportunities. You will also support the preparation of client proposals, working closely with the Sales team, and gradually develop relationships with external stakeholders such as project developers, asset owners, brokers and suppliers.

As a key link between portfolio management and commercial activities, you will play an important role in supporting portfolio operations and helping the team identify opportunities to meet client requirements.

This is an excellent entry-level opportunity for an ambitious professional looking to start or develop their career in the fast-growing sustainability and environmental markets sector.
