What is a carbon broker?

A Carbon Broker facilitates the buying and selling of carbon credits, helping companies offset their carbon emissions by trading in compliance or voluntary carbon markets. They connect businesses that need to reduce their carbon footprint with projects that generate carbon credits, such as reforestation or renewable energy initiatives. Carbon Brokers analyze market trends, negotiate deals, and ensure transactions comply with regulations and sustainability goals. Their role is crucial in supporting global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a carbon broker?

To thrive as a Carbon Broker, you need strong analytical skills, knowledge of carbon markets, environmental regulations, and typically a degree in environmental science, finance, or a related field. Familiarity with carbon accounting software, emissions trading systems, and relevant certifications such as the GHG Protocol or ISO 14064 are valuable assets. Exceptional negotiation, communication, and relationship-building skills help you effectively connect buyers and sellers while fostering trust. These capabilities are essential for navigating complex transactions, ensuring compliance, and maximizing value for clients in the evolving carbon market.

What are some typical challenges faced by carbon brokers, and how can they be managed?

Carbon Brokers often encounter challenges such as fluctuating market prices, evolving regulatory requirements, and the need to verify the quality of carbon credits. Navigating these issues requires staying current with industry regulations, building strong relationships with reputable project developers, and leveraging analytical tools to assess risks and opportunities. Working closely with legal, compliance, and sustainability experts within your team is common, ensuring transactions are both ethical and compliant. By developing a deep understanding of market trends and maintaining transparency with clients, brokers can successfully manage the complexities of the role.

Senior Commodity Derivatives Broker

Chicago, IL • On-site

Other

This job post has expired today. Applications are no longer accepted.


Key responsibilities

  • Support the build-out of the US Commodity Brokerage platform by providing brokerage services across various commodity asset classes.

  • Execute and manage exchange-listed futures, options, OTC swaps, bilateral derivatives, structured solutions, and physical-linked risk management products for clients.

  • Maintain and develop client relationships with producers, refiners, trading houses, hedgers, funds, asset managers, and institutional participants.


Job description

Senior Commodity Broker - Derivatives (Listed Futures, Options & OTC Swaps)

Energy | Oil & Products | Natural Gas & Power | Metals | Base & Precious | Agriculture | Softs | Freight | Environmental | Carbon

Location: Chicago | Miami | Dallas | Midwest | Other US locations considered


Imperium Commodity Search has been exclusively mandated by a globally established clearing and execution group to support the build-out of its US Commodity Brokerage platform.

Backed by a strong international balance sheet and significant global infrastructure, the firm is now investing aggressively in the expansion of a direct-to-client brokerage business across all commodity asset classes.


This growth is being led by a highly respected industry veteran with a proven track record of building successful brokerage franchises. Importantly, this is a leader who builds, mentors and empowers — not someone who simply manages headcount. The mandate is clear: provide brokers with the tools, platform, support and commercial freedom required to maximise revenue and long-term success.


Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is not a replacement hire. It is a strategic build.

  • A globally capitalised platform committed to US expansion
  • Leadership that actively supports revenue producers
  • Infrastructure already in place across clearing, execution and global markets
  • Appetite to invest properly in front-office talent
  • A genuine growth story rather than a mature, capped platform


The hiring lead is known for backing his team — whether that means competitive compensation, better clearing solutions, technology investment, marketing support, cross-selling opportunities or strategic hires around key producers.

For senior brokers in specific asset classes, there is a clear pathway into leadership roles with responsibility for building and scaling teams.


The firm is also open to on-boarding established teams and, where strategically appropriate, acquiring or integrating Introducing Brokers into the broader platform.


The Role

We are seeking experienced Commodity Brokers with transferable client relationships across:

Energy:

Crude Oil (WTI, Brent), Refined Products, Natural Gas, LNG, Power, Emissions

Metals:

Base Metals (Copper, Aluminium, Zinc, Nickel), Precious Metals (Gold, Silver, PGMs), Steel

Agriculture & Softs:

Corn, Wheat, Soybeans, Oilseeds, Sugar, Coffee, Cocoa, Cotton

Freight & Shipping Derivatives

Environmental & Carbon Markets

Other physical and financial commodity derivatives markets


Execution coverage includes:

  • Exchange-listed Futures & Options (CME, ICE, NYMEX, COMEX, CBOT and global exchanges)
  • OTC Swaps & Bilateral Derivatives
  • Structured Commodity & Hedging Solutions
  • Physical-linked risk management products


Clients may include producers, refiners, trading houses, commercial hedgers, funds, asset managers and institutional participants.


Compensation & Growth

The firm has explicitly committed to being aggressive and competitive on compensation.

For brokers with demonstrable transferable revenues, both base salary and bonus structures can be improved upon versus current arrangements. Packages are designed to reward production, incentivise growth and provide meaningful long-term upside.

Beyond compensation, this platform offers:

  • The ability to scale revenue with strong balance sheet backing
  • Leadership opportunities for senior producers
  • The chance to build and grow teams within specific commodity verticals
  • A collaborative, growth-oriented culture rather than a restrictive corporate environment


Location Flexibility

Primary focus locations include:

  • Chicago
  • Miami
  • Dallas
  • Midwest United States

However, compelling individual brokers or teams may be supported in establishing operations in alternative US locations where there is a clear commercial rationale.


Candidate Profile

We are interested in speaking with:

  • Established Commodity Brokers with portable client relationships
  • Producers across listed futures, options and OTC commodity markets
  • Individuals motivated by growth, leadership and long-term franchise building
  • Teams seeking a stronger capital base and global infrastructure
  • Introducing Brokers exploring integration into a larger clearing platform


A Different Type of Brokerage Build

Many firms claim to be “growing.” Few combine genuine capital backing, international scale, leadership credibility and a mandate to invest properly in talent.


This is an opportunity to join early, shape the direction of a US commodity brokerage franchise, and work under leadership that understands what revenue producers need to succeed.
