  • Serve as secondary commercial contact for designated customers and suppliers by responding to routine inquiries, supporting negotiations, participating in calls and meetings, and escalating commercially sensitive or higher-risk matters with recommended next steps.
  • Support priority product lines and commercial initiatives led by the Director and senior merchandisers through data analysis, position reporting, customer and supplier follow-up, contract coordination, and execution of assigned workstreams.
  • Identify potential business opportunities, pricing concerns, execution risks, or customer service issues by monitoring market activity and account needs.
  • Evaluate available information and recommend appropriate follow-up within established guidance.
  • Execute approved trades, contracts, pricing updates, and related documentation in accordance with internal risk, credit, compliance, and approval guidelines.
  • Verify accuracy and escalate exceptions in a timely manner.
  • Coordinate with logistics, customer service, operations, accounting, and finance to support accurate contract fulfillment from order entry through delivery.
  • Support shipment scheduling, documentation, issue resolution, margin and position reporting.
  • Represent the company at selected industry meetings, conferences, and customer and supplier visits alongside senior team members to support relationship development, market learning, and assigned commercial objectives.
  • Contribute to a collaborative, performance-oriented culture by communicating clearly, following through on commitments, improving execution processes, and building the technical and commercial capabilities expected of an entry-level professional trader.
  • Perform additional responsibilities and development-focused assignments as needed, consistent with the role's P1 scope, established approval limits, and developing professional expertise.

  • Ability to interpret supply drivers, pricing fundamentals, customer applications, and basic margin impacts.
  • Ability to analyze market, customer, supplier, logistics, and position information to support buying and selling recommendations within defined commercial parameters and established risk guidelines.
  • Ability to evaluate customer and supplier needs, identify routine-to-moderately complex trade considerations, and escalate pricing, margin, credit, or execution issues with appropriate context and recommended next steps.
  • Working knowledge of contract execution, order fulfillment, truck and rail logistics, documentation, and cross-functional coordination required to support accurate movement from contract through delivery.
  • Negotiation, interpersonal, and communication skills to interact with customers, vendors, logistics providers, operations, finance, and internal commercial leaders as a secondary commercial contract.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, ERP systems, and market data tools to maintain reports, monitor positions, evaluate pricing and margin information, and support commercial analysis.
