Ingredient Trader
Tofco Ag is looking for honest, energetic, and teachable candidates to work with some of the largest companies in the agricultural industry. You will be offered a career as a commodity trader in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, where the risks are limited and the payoffs are limitless. Cash ingredient traders at Tofco trade food byproducts and feed ingredients on behalf of the company, earning a commission on every trade. A base salary helps get you started while you’re learning the ropes – this is not a high individual risk position, which makes it one that’s highly sought after.
For those who prove themselves to be confident working with clients, good with numbers, sales driven, passionate about understanding market conditions, and who seek to gain an in-depth understanding of individually traded products, the opportunities and rewards are unlimited.
This position is perfect for the individual that enjoys phone and email conversations with customers, pays attention to details, and is self-motivated to earn unlimited commissions of six figures or more each year. Having a background in marketing, sales or agriculture is a plus, and limited travel may be required to expand your network and knowledge of the industry.
Key Capabilities for Success:
• Strong oral and written communication, persuasion and negotiation skills
• Effective interpersonal skills and a desire to work in a team-based office atmosphere
• Strong analytical, quantitative, and problem-solving skills
• Sound judgment and decision-making skills, even when outcome is uncertain
• Motivation and drive to succeed
• Adaptable, flexible and able to work in a fast paced, price-volatile environment
• Integrity, willing to comply with risk management policies
As a full-time employee, you’ll receive a wide range of benefits, including:
o Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
o 401(k) Plan with Company Match
o Quarterly Profit-Sharing Bonuses
o Paid Time Off, Paid Holidays, Sick Days
o Paid Volunteer Hours
o Corporate Gym Membership
