Commodities Trader | International Company

Commodities Trader | International Company | Based in Panama

We're partnering with a leading global company in the industrial sector to find a Commodities Trader, a strategic role for their operations in Panama.

We're looking for someone with strong commercial acumen, solid English skills, and experience in international operations.

Backgrounds in commodity trading - especially in steel (preferred), cement, chemicals, or similar industries - will be highly valued. Full command of Incoterms 2020 and all documentation involved in international transactions and/or shipments is a must for this role.

What will you do in this role?

You'll work in a highly autonomous and fast-paced environment, identifying business opportunities, managing relationships with international suppliers and clients, and taking an active role in negotiations, deal structuring, and end-to-end operation management.

We're looking for a curious, agile, and proactive attitude - someone eager to grow and learn constantly from the market.

Your ability to make commercially sound decisions, adapt to dynamic environments, and build trust-based relationships that generate long-term value will be key.

This role blends analysis, execution, and strategic thinking: it's not just about delivering - it's about anticipating, spotting opportunities, and turning them into results.

We're looking for someone who has:

• 3 to 5 years of experience in international trade, commodity trading, or global commercial roles
• Fluency in English (mandatory) and native Spanish. Knowledge of other languages is a plus
• Residency in Panama, or willingness to relocate in the short term
• Experience in industrial or complex commodity sectors such as steel, cement, chemicals, or similar markets with international business dynamics
• Full command of Incoterms 2020 and comprehensive knowledge of international shipping documentation
• Availability to travel approximately 30% to 40% of the year

Work setup: 100% on-site at the company's offices in Costa del Este, Panama
Compensation: Base salary + annual performance bonus
Includes initial training in Europe and a long-term career development plan
