Trade Operations Executive | Dry Bulk Commodities | Singapore

Mazu is partnering with an established international commodities trading house to hire a Trade Operations Executive in Singapore.

The opportunity

Our client trades physical dry bulk commodities across multiple international markets. They are looking for an operations professional to own the execution side of their trades, from supplier to final destination. You will sit at the centre of procurement, logistics, legal and finance, making sure each shipment moves on time, on budget and in line with regulations.

This is a hands‑on role with real ownership. You will run multiple shipments at once, solve problems as they arise, and pick up new commodities quickly.

What you’ll do

• Plan and manage physical dry bulk shipments, covering both inbound sourcing and outbound distribution
• Coordinate logistics end to end, including sea freight chartering, inland transport, storage and delivery into destination markets
• Oversee contract execution, including supplier and sales contracts, Incoterms and payment terms such as letters of credit and bank guarantees
• Manage the full documentation set: commercial invoices, bills of lading, certificates of origin, customs paperwork and quality certificates
• Ensure compliance with international trade rules, import/export controls, sanctions and local regulations in both origin and destination countries
• Track shipments, lead times and potential disruptions, and take corrective action quickly when issues arise
• Work with suppliers, freight forwarders, shipping lines, ports, customs brokers and authorities
• Partner with finance on freight, duty and tax cost control, trade finance, and currency and payment risk
• Forecast supply and demand gaps and support procurement, inventory and distribution planning to avoid stockouts
• Drive improvements in documentation workflows, routing, and supplier and carrier performance to reduce cost, lead time and risk

What you’ll bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Logistics, International Trade, Business or a related field
• 3+ years in commodity trading, global supply chain or bulk materials trade; dry bulk experience is a strong advantage
• Working knowledge of international shipping, freight chartering, customs, Incoterms and trade documentation
• Proficiency in trade finance (LCs, payment terms) and risk management
• Strong negotiation and stakeholder management skills across suppliers, carriers, agents and authorities
• An analytical, detail-focused approach to compliance, documentation and logistics KPIs such as on-time delivery, cost per ton and lead time
• Composure under pressure, with the ability to manage concurrent shipments and make fast decisions
• Strong learning agility and the ability to run shipments independently while supporting a collaborative Ops team
• Clear communication across multicultural, cross-border teams; additional languages (e.g. Mandarin) are an advantage
