Portfolio & P&L Management: Actively manage and optimize the profit and loss (P&L) of your assigned trading book, identifying regional arbitrage and market opportunities.  
Sourcing & Origin Management: Build, nurture, and leverage robust relationships with global producers, cooperatives, exporters, and shipping agents across major coffee-producing regions.  
Commercial Sales: Develop and execute sales strategies targeting commercial roasters, importers, and specialty buyers, offering a consultative sales approach based on client needs.  
Market Analysis & Insights: Monitor and analyze global market fundamentals daily, including crop cycles, weather patterns, currency fluctuations, freight dynamics, and macroeconomic drivers.  
Risk Management & Hedging: Execute hedging strategies using futures and options to mitigate price exposure and manage physical trading positions safely.  
Logistics & Execution Oversight: Collaborate closely with logistics, quality assurance, and operations teams to ensure seamless trade execution, accurate documentation, and timely delivery.
