Junior Trader

Start your career in commodity trading at the heart of the global food supply chain

At Bunge, we believe great Traders aren't built overnight. They learn the markets, understand supply chains, build customer relationships, and develop the judgement needed to make sound commercial decisions.

As a Junior Trader, you'll join an experienced team and work across the full agricultural value chain. From market analysis and pricing to customer interactions, logistics coordination, and trade execution, you'll learn what drives commodity markets and business performance.

This role is ideal for early-career professionals with relevant work experience, or recent graduates who have completed highly relevant internships in trading, commodity markets, supply chain, logistics, commercial functions, or finance.

You’ll work across two key Bunge locations: our soybean processing facility in the Port of Amsterdam and our commercial office in the heart of Rotterdam, next to Blaak station and the Markthal. Typically, you'll spend two days per week at each location, with one flexible working day. This setup offers a unique opportunity to experience the full value chain firsthand, from production and logistics to pricing, customer relationships, and trading activities.

At Bunge, we connect farmers to consumers to deliver essential food, feed, and fuel around the world. As a global agribusiness company, we operate at the intersection of agriculture, food production, and commodity markets.

Your Role in Our Trading Team

As a Junior Trader, you'll take on your first independent commercial role within Trading. Working alongside experienced Traders, you'll learn Bunge's products, agricultural markets, pricing principles, and the factors that influence trading decisions.

You’ll support the team by:

• Analyzing soy and grain markets


• Turning market and business data into actionable insights


• Supporting pricing activities across multiple products


• Coordinating with Supply Chain teams to ensure smooth execution


• Building relationships with customers, suppliers, and brokers


• Supporting the sale of products across the region

A significant part of the role initially focuses on learning the business through a combination of commercial, analytical, and administrative responsibilities. As your knowledge and confidence grow, you'll gradually take on more responsibility and play a bigger role in commercial and trading activities.

A Word from Your Future Team

\"The best Traders understand every part of the business. That's why this role isn't only about markets and customer conversations. It's also about learning how positions are managed, how contracts are executed, how pricing is built, and how logistics impact commercial decisions.\"

\"You'll start by learning the fundamentals of the business. Over time, you'll become increasingly involved in customer interactions, market analysis, pricing discussions, and commercial activities. We're looking for someone who is curious, eager to learn, and interested in building a long-term career in Trading.\"

What You'll Bring to Our Team

You have a genuine interest in markets, enjoy working with data, and are motivated to build a career in Trading.

Education & Experience

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Business, Economics, Finance, Commercial Economics, Supply Chain, or a related field; a Master's degree is preferred


• Early-career professional with relevant work experience, or a recent graduate with strong relevant internship experience in a commercial, trading, logistics, supply chain, or finance-related environment


• Demonstrated interest in commodity markets, trading, or business environments


• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills


• Intermediate background in excel/programming is an advantage


• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills


• Fluent in English, both written and spoken


• Dutch language skills are an advantage


• Willingness and ability to work on-site in both Amsterdam and Rotterdam

What You’ll Gain

Experience across commodity markets, pricing, customer relationships, logistics, and trade execution, providing a strong starting point for a career in Trading.

What We Offer

• A dynamic career path within a global organization


• Direct exposure to experienced Traders and international markets


• Competitive salary and benefits package, including a 13th-month salary and bonus scheme
