Experience covering agricultural and soft commodity markets would be particularly valuable, including products linked to grains, oilseeds, livestock, coffee, cocoa, sugar or other agricultural derivatives.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a highly respected business where technical market knowledge, quantitative thinking and risk expertise are genuinely valued.
