We are supporting our client build a new, high-performance commodities trading desk and are looking to hire a data-driven Commodity Analyst or Quant with a passion for grains markets, supply & demand modeling, and turning insights into trade ideas.

You’ll be joining at ground level, working directly with a senior agricultural trader to build out the analytical backbone of the desk. This is a unique opportunity for someone who wants real impact, freedom to innovate, and a front-row seat as we scale.

What You’ll Do

  • Build, automate, and maintain granular supply & demand models for global grains markets

  • Develop data pipelines, dashboards, and tools that turn market fundamentals into actionable trade signals

  • Work closely with the trader to generate and evaluate trade ideas across global agri markets

  • Monitor and interpret market-moving factors (weather, crop progress, trade flows, logistics, policy)

  • Leverage satellite, survey, price, and shipment data to refine views and forecasts

  • Evolve with the desk – from standalone analyst to core part of the PnL engine
