Job Description

Our client is a global trader of agricultural and chemical fertilizers with a strong track record built on long-standing supplier and customer relationships, and a significant share of its business runs through Latin America. The trading team is growing and needs another person to support the desk. This is a great fit for an accountant with a few years under their belt who wants to move closer to the commercial side of the business, and it can open the door to a junior trading role down the road.

\n
• You'll coordinate with transshipment companies on operational details and keep a close eye on every cost involved
\n
• You'll look for creative ways to manage costs and product, with an eye toward protecting margin
\n
• You'll update deal outlines with sales and purchases, and refresh all formula-priced deals weekly

\n
