Commodity Analyst

About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on and results-driven Commodity Analyst to strengthen our BioFeed origination team, with a primary focus on Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME). The immediate priority will be to build a strong understanding of the local POME market, identify sourcing and selling opportunities, and provide clear, data-backed recommendations on the market. This role requires someone who can get into the details — conducting ground work with mills, running risk and financial analyses, and presenting actionable insights to management for decision-making. Over time, the role will extend into the regional and international bio-feedstock market as our trading activities grow.

• Estimate capital requirements for sourcing and trading strategies.

• Build models and scenarios to guide decision-making.

4.Decision Support

• Prepare concise reports and presentations for management review.

• Deliver clear, actionable recommendations supported by data and ground insights.

• Collaborate with trading, finance, logistics, and sustainability teams for execution.

5.Future Expansion

• Begin monitoring regional and international POME and bio-feedstock markets.

• Support the development of trading strategies beyond local markets

• Practical understanding of commodity sourcing and trading dynamics.

• Excellent communication and presentation skills for management-level reporting.

• Proactive, detail-oriented, and comfortable with field work and fast execution.

• Willingness to travel locally (mills, suppliers) and regionally as markets expand.
