What you will do
Take quote requests from the site and the trading platforms, and reply within 24 working hours with the specification of the lot available.
Work with sourcing and quality to fix the specification and the price before anything goes to the buyer.
Draft the contract, follow the L/C and work with the documentation team until the goods are loaded.
Handle lots that fall outside specification or miss a vessel: tell the buyer early, bring an option, never let them find out on their own.
Record what each market requires so the next shipment does not start with the same questions.

One to three years in export, agricultural commodities preferred.
Comfortable with a seasonal rhythm: the peak lands in a few months of the year.

Able to read a quality report and understand the limits each market sets.
A second language, particularly Japanese or Chinese.
