What’s the role

Tackling climate change is the biggest challenge the world faces today. In 2021 Shell launched its Powering Progress strategy to accelerate the transition of Shell’s business to net-zero emissions by 2050. This new strategy sets a variety of nearer term targets. Among others, it specifies 2030 milestones such as 8 times more Low Carbon Fuels (LCF) production and Low Carbon Fuels (LCF) sales increase to over 10% of transportation fuels.

Trading & Supply’s (T&S) ambition is to execute the Powering Progress strategy by acting as the commercial integrator and becoming a leading provider of cleaner energy. T&S Products (TSP) has become one of the world’s leading LCF blenders and to further leverage this growth, a Global Low Carbon Fuels organization (TSP LCF) was launched. The mandate for this organization is to enable energy transition through strategic focus on developing LCF for the future of Shell, integrate and simplify by driving single point of accountability and deliver greater integrated value by strengthening its role as integrator with the rest of Shell.

Focus areas for TSP LCF are:

Development of new LCF value chains and routes to market
Develop and grow value from Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF)
Develop global Feedstock supply chains
Support and optimize equity and non-equity LCF asset projects
Ensure compliance to LCF regulation (e.g. REDIII, ReFuel Aviation, FuelEU Maritime)

What you’ll be doing

The Channel Optimization team Europe is at the very heart of TSP LCF and is responsible to deliver value from internal LCF shorts in very close collaboration with the frontline traders.

Maximize value from internal LCF demand and drive new opportunities to increase LCF sales via Shell’s marketing channels

Deliver biofuels compliance for all obligated trading commitments
Ensure seamless cooperation with other LCF desk teams: frontline traders, regulatory operations, commercial operations, regulatory intelligence, business development
Deliver successful project implementation of LCF projects for new products e.g. HVO100, BioLNG
Ensure successful implementation of ONE PnL where collaboration with other product desks takes place while achieving yearly PnL targets for the respective short
Work closely with relevant teams to meet external requirements and identify regulatory risks and opportunities

What you bring

Strong commercial acumen proven through value delivery in previous roles
Motivated with a deep interest in the trading business, low carbon fuels and the Energy Transition Challenge
High level of Excel ability
Ability to understand multiple interdependencies in a highly complex, ambiguous, regulated and layered market environment

Shell in The Netherlands

Most Dutch people know us from the 570 retail stations where they can fill up, recharge and buy fresh sandwiches and coffee. But Shell is more than the stations. The company that started over 130 years ago grew into one of the world’s largest energy companies. And during that time, operations in the Netherlands have continued to expand.

For example, from Rotterdam, Shell coordinates the supply of lubricants for transport and agriculture, aviation fuel and raw materials. Shell Pernis produces the building blocks for healthcare disinfectants and muscle relaxants in Intensive Care. Amsterdam is home to one of our largest research centres in the world: the open Energy Transition Campus Amsterdam. From our campus in The Hague, we lead Shell’s global energy transition. Pernis is home to one of our main refineries and Moerdijk is home to our Dutch chemical plants.
