Who Would Be a Good Fit?

We are looking for someone who is curious, energetic and comfortable working on the ground. You should enjoy meeting people, exploring new markets, negotiating, solving problems and learning how a trading business works. This is not a desk job. You will spend your working days visiting suppliers, customers, factories, warehouses and loading locations. Some travel to nearby cities may involve overnight stays depending on business requirements.

If you are someone who wants to build strong business development, sourcing, negotiation and market understanding skills early in your career, this role offers significant hands-on exposure to the plastic polymer trading business.
