</TD><TD vAlign=top>ADM’s Grain and Oilseed Divisions pride themselves in being the best at what they do. From the origination of the grain at one of our many Midwestern River Terminals or Processing Plants to the sale and transportation of the product to the overseas buyer, ADM’s fully integrated network allows hundreds of millions of bushels of product to be delivered to necessary destinations in a timely fashion.
To achieve this ongoing commitment, ADM seeks out individuals with a strong desire to excel in an exciting industry. We employ highly motivated employees wanting to compete in fast paced surroundings. Our employees possess strong analytical and communication skills with the ability to adapt to an ever-changing environment. We strive to find those questing for a rewarding career full of challenging responsibilities.
The position of Commodity Trader is one of buying and selling commodities in the cash market, as well as making and coordinating arrangements for the transportation of the product. Much of a typical day is spent on the telephone, keeping customers aware of current grain market news while buying and selling grain or products. The office environment can be, at times, hectic as market information is shared verbally among the traders. This activity makes the job exciting and challenging.
Our commodity traders learn the fundamentals of the business by embarking on an intense two-month training curriculum, which involves thorough classroom and on site learning. This program is unparalleled in the industry. Training occurs at our corporate headquarters, river terminals, country elevators and processing plants. Our employees-in-training are given the opportunity to meet with and learn from commodity traders at many of our locations. These traders all have unique stories and ideas to share, which help in molding a better understanding of the business. The primary rationale of the training is to prepare our employees for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
ADM’s traders merchandise commodities in domestic and international markets. Traders have to balance risk management, customer relations, transportation and logistics. Commodity markets are influenced by a myriad of factors from around the world. These include trade policy, supply and demand factors, weather, and transportation costs. ADM’s traders’ ability to evaluate these changing factors drives the Division’s profitability.
All it takes to work for ADM is a commitment to excellence – an agreement to settle for nothing less than executing the utmost quality in all aspects of the job. If you are that individual ready to unite on a journey with an industry leader, ADM is the company that will meet these expectations.
