Junior Trader

Job description

At Manuchar, we believe in empowering talent within our dynamic international work environment. We're on the hunt for an exceptional commercial colleague who's ready to be a driving force in expanding our business. Every member of our team is a protagonist in our journey to excellence. Are you ready to take center stage?

As a Junior Trader, based in our Antwerp headquarters, your main quest will be to curate a portfolio of lucrative customers and transactions by forging formidable bonds with trusted partners across Emerging Markets. In this role, you won't just follow the market; you'll shape it. You'll set and pursue the market development strategy for your dedicated region, actively participating in the formulation of the global strategy for your product portfolio. Your guide in this endeavor will be a senior trader. 

Your base will be Antwerp, but your adventure will take you to your assigned region, where you'll make things happen. And that's not all—get ready for occasional global explorations to further our business objectives. Join us in this exhilarating journey toward success! 

Your main responsibilities are:

• We won't let you dive in blindly! Start with comprehensive training where you'll learn everything about file management on operational, documentary, and financial fronts, focusing on business activities in Emerging Markets. As a trade coordinator, you'll be the linchpin in our global operations. Manage files, bring documentation to life, and keep an eye on the big picture while contributing to our successful transactions.
• Once you feel confident with file management, it's time to spread your commercial wings. Collaborate with clients, create enticing quotes, and use your negotiation skills to seal deals.
• You're never alone in this journey. Work closely with your colleagues of trade coordination and report to an experienced senior trader who will guide you.
• Maintain intensive contact with suppliers, stay on top of product prices, and share market knowledge with colleagues worldwide.
• Board international business trips to meet clients and colleagues in person, and seize the chance to discover new markets.

Are you ready for this thrilling journey? We can't wait to welcome you on board!
