Day-to-day responsibilities include identifying and analysing market trends in commodity and fuel trading, building and maintaining relationships with customers and suppliers, negotiating contracts, ensuring compliance with industry regulations, and monitoring credit and financial transactions.

The successful candidate will also be expected to take a proactive approach to expanding the company’s network and achieving sales targets in the global marine fuel market.
