Commercial Execution & Sales

Develop new customer relationships across domestic and international carbon market segments.
Execute sales of carbon credits with disciplined commercial strategy and appropriate risk management.
Build and manage a pipeline of prospective buyers, negotiate commercial terms, and close transactions across diverse geographies.
Create and refine customer-facing messaging tailored to specific market segments and regions.

Internal Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement

Collaborate with internal teams (Sustainability, CCUS Operations, Legal, Finance, Corporate Communications) to support market entry strategies.
Communicate market insights, pricing dynamics, and strategic implications to internal leadership.
Support leadership in shaping ADM’s broader decarbonization monetization strategy.
Represent ADM across a broad range of stakeholders, including registries, exchanges, brokers, and prospective offtakers.
