  • Apply refinery yield knowledge to estimate melt value and recovery outcomes
  • Execute scrap gold purchasing in alignment with internal pricing models
  • Maintain strict chain-of-custody documentation from intake through transfer
  • Record and reconcile all transactions in accordance with company policy
  • Identify discrepancies, irregularities, or valuation risks
  • Support internal audits and reconciliation processes
  • Contribute to the development and refinement of standardized valuation procedures
Qualifications
  • High school diploma or equivalent required
  • Minimum of two years of experience in finance roles, particularly in financial analysis
  • Strong skills in Excel and/or Google Sheets
