• Develop long-term relationships with industrial buyers, strategic accounts, suppliers and other relevant market participants.
• Convert customer requirements into suitable commercial and value-added solutions by coordinating resources across the wider organisation.
• Maintain close oversight of local supply-and-demand conditions, import developments, competitor activities and changes in government policy.
• Provide regular market intelligence and commercial updates to support regional trading, origination and planning decisions.
• Coordinate demand forecasting, shipment planning and logistics execution to ensure timely and reliable delivery to customers.
• Monitor mark-to-market exposure, counterparty considerations and other country-level commercial risks.
• Work closely with internal stakeholders across origination, trading, freight, logistics, finance, risk, legal and tax.
• Ensure all commercial activities and contract executions comply with established risk controls and governance requirements.
• Produce timely performance reports, market updates, management scorecards and business review materials.
• Contribute local insights during regional research and market discussions.
• Support the recruitment, development and leadership of a local team as the business grows.

What We Are Looking For:

• Ideally minimum 10 years of relevant experience in agricultural commodities, animal feed, agri-food or a related trading environment.
• Strong commercial knowledge of grains, oilseeds, feed ingredients or comparable commodity products.
• Established experience managing industrial or corporate customers in a B2B setting.
• A proven track record in market development, strategic account management and commercial growth.
• Good knowledge of the Bangladesh market, supported by a relevant professional network.
• Familiarity with local business practices, regulatory considerations, import processes and cultural dynamics.
• Practical exposure to physical commodity execution, logistics coordination and commercial risk management.
• Ability to analyse market fundamentals and turn insights into actionable commercial plans.
