About Arva Intelligence

Arva Intelligence is a leading sustainability technology platform helping agricultural producers, corporations, and biofuel companies measure, verify, and monetize environmental outcomes. Through advanced ecosystem modeling, carbon accounting, and MMRV capabilities, Arva enables customers to unlock value from regenerative agriculture, environmental attribute markets, and emerging clean fuel incentives.

As demand for low-carbon feedstocks accelerates, Arva is expanding its commercial team to help biofuel plants, farmers, and channel partners maximize value across the Section 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit, state low-carbon fuel programs, renewable energy credits (RECs), and other environmental attribute markets.

Position Overview

Arva is seeking a Markets Analyst in biofuels to support the operational and analytical needs of its biofuels commercial team. Reporting to the Business Development Manager, this individual will serve as the organizational backbone of the commercial function - managing project timelines, coordinating cross-functional workstreams, and running models and analyses that inform partner and internal decision-making.

This is the right role for someone who is highly organized, analytically capable, and energized by working at the intersection of energy markets, environmental policy, and agriculture. You will work closely with the Business Development Manager and collaborate across Sales, Product, Engineering, and Customer Success to keep commercial initiatives on track and ensure the right analysis reaches the right people at the right time.

Primary Responsibilities

Project & Workstream Management

• Own project management for commercial initiatives - tracking deliverables, deadlines, and action items across internal teams and external partners.
• Maintain visibility into the full commercial pipeline, flagging risks and keeping the Business Development Manager focused on high-priority work.
• Coordinate cross-functional inputs from Sales, Product, Customer Success, and Engineering teams to move projects forward efficiently.
• Prepare agendas, meeting notes, and follow-through documentation for partner and internal meetings.
• Build and maintain trackers, templates, and workflows that improve commercial team efficiency as Arva scales.

Analytical Modeling & Market Analysis

• Run and maintain financial and carbon intensity (CI) models that evaluate environmental attribute value, transaction economics, and margin scenarios for biofuel partners.
• Update and stress-test existing models as market conditions, regulatory parameters, or partner data change.
• Monitor developments across Section 45Z, LCFS, RFS/RINs, RECs, and other clean fuel programs, and synthesize key updates into clear internal briefings.
• Track CI score benchmarks and tranche thresholds across Arva's partner portfolio, flagging material changes to the Business Development Manager.
• Support analysis of biofuel-plant-side value levers, including REC opportunities and CI reduction pathways, as directed.

Partner-Facing Support

• Prepare partner-facing materials including market updates, program performance summaries, CI score reports, and transaction documentation, under the direction of the Business Development Manager.
• Support the Business Development Manager in preparing presentations and strategic briefings for biofuel plants, farmers, and channel partners.
• Ensure partner data is complete, accurate, and organized ahead of meetings, reviews, and reporting cycles.

Internal Reporting & Documentation

• Maintain accurate records of commercial activities, transaction progress, and partner engagement.
• Produce regular internal reports on portfolio CI performance, market movements, and program economics.
• Contribute to thought leadership and marketing materials related to environmental markets and biofuel programs as needed.

Qualifications

Required

• 3-5 years of experience in management consulting, financial analysis, project management, or a related analytical role.
• Strong project management skills - able to juggle multiple workstreams, set priorities, and hold timelines without close supervision.
• Solid financial and quantitative modeling skills - comfortable running, updating, and interpreting complex models built by others.
• Clear written and verbal communicator, able to distill technical and market information into concise, actionable outputs.
• High attention to detail and a track record of producing accurate, well-organized work product.
• Self-starter who works well independently and proactively surfaces issues before they become problems.

Preferred

• Exposure to carbon intensity (CI) scoring frameworks, including GREET modeling, LCFS, RFS/RINs, or 45Z tax credit mechanics.
• Familiarity with biofuel production economics, ethanol supply chains, or American row crops (corn, soybeans).
• Background in management consulting (e.g., Big 4 or restructuring/advisory firms) for biofuel industry with experience running analytical workstreams.
• Experience with MMRV systems, carbon accounting platforms, or environmental attribute markets.
• Bachelor's degree in Agricultural Economics, Environmental Sales, Engineering, Finance, Sustainability, or a related field.

Success Metrics

• Commercial initiatives move forward smoothly with clear ownership and visible progress tracking of risks.
• Financial and carbon-intensity models remain accurate, defensible, and current as market conditions evolve.
• The Business Development Manager and partner-facing teams receive complete, well-organized materials and data support that helps them show up prepared and credible in every external interaction.
• The organization stays informed of material changes across biofuel regulations, clean-fuel incentives, and carbon market mechanics before they impact partner economics or pipeline strategy.
• Commercial records, transaction histories, and portfolio performance data are well-organized and easy to retrieve.
