Grain Futures Broker

Imperium Commodity Search is confidentially retained by a new-to-market grains and oilseeds desk in London with global expansion plans across the corporate hedging and speculative execution space.  With a growing commodity portfolio, our client has the ability to transact in multiple global markets and has a unique exposure to the shipping and commodity trading space, allowing them insight over and above what many in the brokerage world can offer.

This desk is new to the company, but established as a unit, seeking global growth to create a joined-up and follow the sun model across the grains, agri, softs, oilseeds and edible oil markets.  Wtih a unique perspective across the CME/CBOT markets, the firm is looking to build out their offering in the US wheat/grains market to work alongside the broader agri portfolio.  With a strong cross-sell proposition and insight across the shipping/trading space, there is a strong and immediately available opportunity for an experience wheat/grains broker in the US to lead the North American focus of the agri and grains desk.

As part of their North American growth project, the firm is looking at developing new to market derivatives contracts in grains/wheat, and would like to speak to those who are astute salespeople, with the ability to drive market interest in new contract offerings whilst executing contracts on behalf of a regional grain/agri book.

• Actively drive business development with new and existing clients, bringing new contracts to market and acting as a mouthpiece/salesperson for the brand and service offerings
• Prepare and distrubute market data to clients for analytical and business development purposes
• Work with established internal team on growth of new lines, clients and markets
• Keep up to date on market movement and developments across the derivatives soft commodity and agricultural markets
