Are you the one willing to expand your product portfolio in an international trading company that is at the forefront of a growing and innovative market? At BioCore we’re searching for an entrepreneurial Trader. See the opportunity below!

BioCore is part of Cefetra Group

BioCore is an international trading company that has been active since 1991 in the trade of organic grains, oilseeds, pulses, by-products and cacao. Our products are sourced and sold globally to customers in both the feed and food industries.

‍

As a Trader, you’re responsible for independently executing international trade transactions in grains, oilseeds, and feed and food ingredients within BioCore’s frameworks. This includes managing the entire process from contract negotiation to completion, including entering contracts into internal systems, monitoring deliveries with the logistics department, and supporting accounts receivable control. You will oversee both purchases and sales, playing a key role in achieving commercial objectives while maintaining strong relationships with customers and suppliers. This role also involves regular visits to suppliers, customers, and trade shows.

• Independently initiate, negotiate, and conclude international trade contracts within established guidelines.
• Enter and manage concluded contracts in internal systems.
• Monitor the proper execution of contracts and act where necessary.
• Support accounts receivable monitoring and identify payment risks.
• Track market developments and price movements to capitalize on commercial opportunities.
• Build and maintain sustainable relationships with customers, suppliers, and logistics partners.
• Collaborate closely with internal departments such as Finance, Logistics, and Quality to ensure smooth transaction processing.
• Report trading activities and results to management.

Most important is that you have a play-to-win mentality. To be successful, it is important to be commercially driven and have an entrepreneurial spirit. You can work both independently and with people from all layers within our organization. Furthermore, you’re hands-on, stress-resilient and analytically strong. In addition, you can identify with the following requirements:

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in (International) Trade, Economics, or a related field.
• Experience in international commodity trading is a strong advantage.
• Excellent negotiation and communication skills.
• Creative problem-solving skills, with the ability to navigate complex trading scenarios.
• Analytical ability and a keen sense for commercial opportunities.
• Proficiency in English (and preferably other languages).
• Proactive and independent work attitude, stress-resistant and result-oriented

What we offer
A unique opportunity to help grow BioCore and to be part of a dynamic, entrepreneurial team within an established multinational. We’re always open to tailor our offer to your needs, but we already provide:

• Flexible working hours, hybrid working options, and strong learning and development opportunities.
• A comprehensive remuneration package including: a competitive base salary, non-contributory pension scheme, yearly discretionary bonus, 25 holiday days (with the option to purchase more), and access to a company lease bike;
