Metals Trader (Copper)

Insight Commodities • Full-time • london (city of london), south east england, uk • 10h ago

METALS TRADER (Copper)

based Central LONDON with Hybrid

Covering AFRICA & MIDDLE EAST

This isn't a maintenance role. This is a builder's role !

We're looking for a Copper Trader who doesn't wait for business to come to them — someone who opens markets, builds customer flows from scratch, and knows the cathode-to-wire-rod value chain inside out.

If you have deep roots in African-origin copper, strong relationships across Europe and the Middle East, and the hunger to grow something real — read on.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🎯 THE OPPORTUNITY

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Based in London, you'll be at the centre of a high-conviction expansion push in copper cathode, wire rod, and related base metals. You'll own origination, develop new customer relationships, and structure deals across one of the world's most dynamic commodity corridors — Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

This is a seat with real commercial scope, full value chain exposure, and the backing of an established global trading platform.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

⚡ WHAT YOU'LL DO

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

→ Drive trading and business development in copper cathode, wire rod, and base metal products across Europe and the Middle East

→ Source and develop supply from Africa, building procurement channels not covered by existing operations

→ Open new customer flows — end-users, traders, smelters — and strengthen the book from the ground up

→ Structure and execute back-to-back and solution-driven transactions tailored to counterparty needs

→ Manage the full risk picture: market, credit, logistics, legal, regulatory, and VAT

→ Contribute strategic insight to broader copper initiatives including mining, smelting, recycling, and decarbonisation

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✅ WHO YOU ARE

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✔ A proven copper trader with a track record in cathode and/or wire rod — you've grown a book, not just managed one

✔ Hands-on experience with African-origin copper: sourcing, quality, logistics, last-mile delivery

✔ Established network across producers, traders, smelters, and end-users in Europe, Africa, and/or the Middle East

✔ Solid grasp of trade finance, credit risk, and international commodity execution

✔ Independent, commercially sharp, and able to engage management with confidence

✔ Fluent in English; French is a strong plus

✔ Ready to travel across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond when the deal demands it

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

💡 BONUS POINTS FOR

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

→ Copper concentrate experience — mine offtake, smelter negotiations, concentrate dynamics

→ Multi-regional trading exposure with coordination across global hubs

→ Business-level French (written and spoken)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📍 London | Full-Time | Monday–Friday

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

This role suits someone who's ready to step into a high-impact seat and leave a mark on a growing copper franchise.
