We’re looking for a motivated Junior Commodities Trader (m/f/d) to support commercial growth and market expansion strategies at one of our Ecosystem Companies.

Join the A11 Ecosystem: A next‑generation supply chain platform, the company is redefining how one of the world’s largest industries sources, distributes, and finances materials. Engineered to unlock the full potential of global trade, it harnesses agentic AI and workflow automation to provide seamless, high‑efficiency access to premium materials at scale. Since its commercial rollout, the platform has fueled exponential growth, optimizing procurement for thousands of businesses while setting new benchmarks for speed, transparency, and efficiency. Its competitive edge lies in full digitization and AI‑driven supply chain management automation, eliminating inefficiencies and creating a direct, intelligent bridge between suppliers and buyers. With a team of 80+ FTEs across Europe (Berlin HQ), China, and India, the company is rapidly scaling toward profitability, driving triple‑digit million GMV, and setting new industry standards in autonomous, AI‑powered supply chain orchestration.

In this role, you’ll:

• Build and manage customer relationships, negotiate pricing and volumes, and drive deals from lead generation to closing
• Source and trade construction materials across the DACH market in a fast‑paced, margin‑sensitive environment
• Track market trends, pricing, and regional demand, and contribute real‑time insights to buying and selling strategies
• Identify trading opportunities and run competitive analyses to support strategic decision‑making
• Ensure smooth end‑to‑end execution of trades, including order processing, logistics coordination, invoicing, and delivery follow‑up
• Collaborate closely with the Operations and Finance teams to maintain seamless internal workflows
• Contribute to the development of a high‑performing, entrepreneurial team culture with a hands‑on mindset

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Business or a related field
• First work experience in a competitive, fast‑paced environment, such as Management Consulting, Investment Banking, Venture Capital, or a high‑growth startup
• Passion for working in a growth‑stage startup and transforming a traditional industry alongside an international team
• Strong analytical and communication skills
• Hands‑on mentality — you’re not satisfied until things are implemented
• Proactive and confident in speaking with customers, suppliers, partners and investors
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in German and strong proficiency in English

Please note that we are looking for support in the Berlin office of our portfolio company. Eligibility to work within the EU is required as well.
