Global Head of Marketing

STX Group is a market leading, B2B scaleup in environmental commodities. They only trade in products that help reduce CO ₂ emissions such as carbon credits, biofuels, and renewables. The Global Head of Marketing will own the marketing strategy and create a brand that focuses on reliability and thought leadership.

About STX Group

Today, companies face ongoing pressure from regulations, shareholders, and corporate responsibility standards to reduce their carbon footprints. Market leader STX supports these businesses by trading a wide variety of renewable energy products such as renewables, biofuels, and carbon credits. And this way, STX also invigorates the environmental commodities market’s liquidity, transparency, and availability. STX believes this small – but vital – contribution leads to decarbonizing the global economy.

As a specialty trader in environmental commodities, STX does not build wind farms, operate solar parks, or develop large energy reduction projects. However, their everyday work strengthens the reliability and professionalism of these markets, and boosts confidence in sustainable investments. Thanks to this successful business model, STX has helped build trust in renewables markets, and stimulates the transition from pollution and depletion of natural resources.

With headquarters in Amsterdam, STX is a global company with offices in New York, Singapore, Lyon, and Goteborg. They employ more than three hundred bright minds and expect to triple this headcount in a few short years. To date, the scaleup has operated mainly under the radar. But now, their ambitious growth strategy is to strengthen their position as a reliable market- and thought leader in environmental commodities.
