  • Build and maintain a competitive and scalable international trading network.
  • Lead the execution of high-value, complex physical trades across iron ore, coal, steel, and related raw materials.

Commercial Development & Market Intelligence

  • Lead and mentor the trading and commercial teams to drive performance, market expansion, and value creation.
  • Oversee strategic market research initiatives to identify price movements, demand/supply shifts, and competitive insights.
  • Contribute to the company's overall commercial strategy and expansion roadmap.

Shipping, Logistics & Contract Management

  • Manage chartering, freight negotiation, and end-to-end shipping logistics for bulk commodity cargoes.
  • Ensure smooth coordination at load/discharge ports, including inspections, surveys, and cargo documentation.
  • Negotiate and oversee long-term supply and offtake agreements with global counterparties.

Risk, Finance & Compliance Oversight

  • Ensure full compliance with trade regulations, internal controls, and risk frameworks.
  • Oversee LC structures, trade finance instruments, documentation processes, and KYC compliance.
  • Coordinate with finance, legal, and treasury teams to ensure timely execution and settlement of transactions.
  • Monitor and report on trade P&L, credit exposure, bank limits, and cash flow performance.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Business, International Trade, Finance, Economics, or related field.
  • Minimum 10+ years of experience in physical commodities trading, with a strong focus on iron ore, coal, and steel.
  • Proven track record in leading trading teams and executing profitable physical trades across global markets.
  • Deep understanding of trade execution, international shipping, Incoterms, and chartering agreements.
  • Strong commercial network across Asia (especially China, India, Southeast Asia) and key international markets.
  • Expertise in trade finance, LC documentation, regulatory compliance, and risk management.
  • Bilingual proficiency in English and Mandarin is essential to liaise effectively with Chinese counterparts.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
