What you'll do
- Make deals: negotiate prices, contracts and work closely with our Sales team to identify and seize market opportunities.
- Establish and maintain international supplier relationships as part of our strategic procurement, purchasing a seven-figure trading volume per month.
- Find new partners internationally, for example via trade shows or cold calls, and build these up into long-lasting relationships.
- Resolve issues with internal and external stakeholders that block revenue.
- Follow spot market trades, price dynamics and trends, and act on them at high speed.
- Work with advanced AI tools that keep you a step ahead of the market.
What we're looking for
- You think like a trader.
- You like buying and selling and ideally have made money before, for example through trading, your own business, a side hustle or a sales role.
- You want to win. You chase deals and results without waiting to be pushed.
- You act fast. You decide and follow up.
- You have a natural curiosity. You always ask how and why, and you learn fast from every conversation.
- You are comfortable interacting with internal stakeholders and external parties in real-life meetings or (video) calls.
- You are fresh out of university, or you have a couple of years of work experience in a commercial role, for example sales or trading. Any industry works.
- Self-employment, your own business or a side hustle is very welcome.
- You have a university degree.
- You have strong analytical and negotiation skills, and can clearly articulate complex subjects with confidence and precision.
- You bring a hands-on mentality: you take ownership, solve problems independently, and thrive in dynamic settings.
- You are curious about AI and how it changes the way we trade.
- You speak English fluently.
Nice to have
- Italian is a plus, and so is any other European business-fluent language.
Benefits
Learn from the best - work directly with senior operators, interact with skilled industry leaders and CEOs on a daily basis.
Personal growth & visibility - rapid learning opportunities, cross-functional exposure, and early leadership potential in a growing global team.
- Real ownership from day one - shape operational processes in a fast-scaling, AI-first company.
- Competitive compensation - attractive base salary and performance-based bonus program.
