ROS Trading is building a team that combines the rigour of international commodity trading with the energy and ambition of an pan-African company. We hire people who want to do their best work in a sector that shapes how the world powers itself.
The trading sector rewards a specific combination of qualities — commercial sharpness, operational discipline, financial literacy, and integrity. We look for all four, in equal measure.
We hire selectively. We onboard intentionally. And we expect every joiner to grow with the platform.
Strong commercial intuition. The ability to read a transaction, understand its risks, and structure it for execution.
Care with detail. Documentation, timelines, and follow-through matter as much as the deal itself.
Comfort with trade finance, LCs, structured commodity finance, and the credit logic that underpins commodity transactions.
An uncomplicated commitment to doing things the right way — every counterparty, every transaction, every time.
Desk roles across crude oil and refined products. Commercial structuring, counterparty engagement, deal origination, and execution leadership.
Transaction structuring, LC management, bank relationship support. The discipline of bankable transactions.
Vessel nomination, cargo coordination, documentation, demurrage monitoring. The operational backbone of every transaction.
KYC, sanctions screening, internal controls, transaction review. The foundation of credible counterparty engagement.
Partnership origination, counterparty engagement, mandate development across refineries, traders, and end-users.
Finance, legal, HR, IT, communications. The shared infrastructure that allows the trading platform to operate at scale.
ROS Trading develops Nigerian talent for the global commodity trading sector.
Our graduate pathway exposes high-potential early-career joiners to commercial, operational, finance, and compliance functions over a structured rotation programme, with the objective of building the next generation of African commodity trading leaders.
We welcome enquiries from experienced commodity trading professionals and from graduates and early-career candidates whose ambition and discipline align with our standards.
