The role

The person who decides who we buy from.

Reporting to the commercial lead, working alongside logistics and documentation. Remote, full-time, with hours overlapping Brazilian business time.

What you will do

  1. 01 Identify and qualify Brazilian manufacturers against a customer requirement, and say plainly when none of them fit.
  2. 02 Build the landed-cost picture: product, freight, duties and the margin the trade has to carry.
  3. 03 Negotiate specification, payment terms and delivery with producers, and record what was agreed.
  4. 04 Assess counterparty risk on both sides and flag what we would be taking onto our own account.
  5. 05 Turn an inquiry into a quotable proposal within the five working days we promise customers.
  6. 06 Hand the closed contract to logistics with nothing left ambiguous, then stay reachable for what follows.

What we are looking for

  • Three or more years in export sales, sourcing, procurement or commodity trading.
  • Able to build a landed cost from scratch and defend every line of it.
  • Working knowledge of incoterms and international payment instruments.
  • Portuguese and English. French or an African market language is a real advantage.
  • Comfortable negotiating with producers directly, and saying no to a bad trade.

Helpful, not required

  • Experience on Brazil–Africa or Brazil–Europe routes.
  • Familiarity with bulk commodities, construction materials or food export.
  • Exposure to trade finance or credit assessment.
  • Having represented a company at an international trade fair.
How we hire

A first call within a week of applying, then a working conversation around a real shipment scenario, then a decision. Three steps, no unpaid assignments.
