Head of Fertilizer Desk – Physical Commodity Trading

Location: Singapore

Career Zoom has been retained by an international trading organisation to appoint a

Head of Fertilizer Desk

to establish and profitably grow its international physical fertilizer trading business.

This is a

working Desk Head position

requiring direct business origination and trading. The successful candidate must be capable of developing executable business using established supplier and customer relationships rather than simply managing a team.

Product Scope

Relevant products include:
Urea and nitrogen fertilizers | DAP/MAP and phosphates | MOP/SOP and potash | NPK | other bulk fertilizer products

Candidates are not expected to cover every category but should have a demonstrable trading track record across

at least two core fertilizer categories

.

Key Responsibilities

The Head of Fertilizer Desk will originate both purchase and sales opportunities, develop international trading flows and personally negotiate and execute transactions.

You will manage the entire commercial lifecycle — including pricing, contracting, trade finance, shipment, documentation, delivery, collections and claims — and carry responsibility for the desk's standalone P&L.

The role requires strong understanding of fertilizer specifications, freight, bulk/bagged cargoes, port handling, storage, quality issues, trade finance, seasonality, tenders and regulatory requirements.

Candidate Profile

We are looking for:
Approximately

10+ years of physical fertilizer trading/merchandising experience

A demonstrably profitable book across

at least two fertilizer categories

Established supplier, producer, importer, distributor and/or end-buyer relationships

Proven independent trading-book/P&L ownership

Ability to originate both sides of physical transactions

Demonstrated realised margins and net contribution

Strong understanding of working capital, credit and counterparty risk

Experience with bulk/bagged cargo, freight, ports, documentation and claims

An entrepreneurial, hands-on approach to building business

Exposure to

Africa and/or other import-dependent emerging markets

would be particularly valuable.

This is strictly a

physical trading mandate

. Manufacturing, plant operations, agronomy, technical sales or fertilizer procurement experience without direct ownership of a profitable physical trading book will not be sufficient.
