Senior Grains & Oilseeds Proprietary Trader

Location:Singapore / Shanghai

Job Type:Full-time

The Opportunity

An exceptional opportunity for a seasoned Senior Grains & Oilseeds Proprietary Trader to join a prominent global hedge fund. This is a pure proprietary trading role, focused on deploying capital across global grains and oilseeds markets, ideally focusing on APAC markets. The position is ideal for a fundamentally driven trader with a strategic mindset and a proven track record of profitability.

You’ll have the autonomy to develop and execute discretionary trading strategies, leveraging market inefficiencies, supply/demand dynamics, and macro-agricultural trends across global markets.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and implement mid-to-long-term proprietary trading strategies in grains and oilseeds (e.g., wheat, corn, soybeans, meal, oil).

  • Take full ownership of position management, P&L, and risk exposure across physical and derivative markets.

  • Perform deep fundamental analysis of global supply chains, crop cycles, trade flows, and geopolitical impacts.

  • Utilize quantitative and market intelligence tools to support trading decisions and identify mispricings or structural inefficiencies.

  • Engage with global counterparties, brokers, producers, and market participants to maintain a competitive edge.

  • Operate within clearly defined risk limits and internal compliance frameworks.

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven track record in proprietary trading across grains and oilseeds markets, with a focus on physical and/or derivatives.

  • Strong P&L performance and consistent delivery of risk-adjusted returns over multiple seasons/cycles.

  • Deep understanding of global agricultural market fundamentals, including logistics, weather impacts, and policy/regulatory developments.

  • Strong analytical and quantitative skills; ability to formulate and test trading hypotheses based on data and field intelligence.
