Global Trader | Remote | Open to Candidates Worldwide

Company: KTC

About KTC
For more than 65 years, KTC has been connecting buyers and sellers across the global liquor and beverage industry.
As a third-generation family business, we operate at the centre of international trade, moving stock across markets, solving supply challenges, and uncovering opportunities others miss. From rare parcels and mixed containers to thousands of SKUs and award-winning OEM and private label solutions, we help our partners buy smarter, sell faster, and grow with confidence.
Our strength lies in our global reach, deep market intelligence, trusted supplier relationships, and the ability to act decisively when opportunities arise. We are known for doing business the right way: communicating clearly, trading transparently, and delivering exactly what we promise.
At KTC, trading is about more than transactions. It's about building relationships, creating value, and keeping product moving in a constantly changing global market.
About the Role
We're looking for a commercially driven Global Trader to join our team and play a key role in identifying, negotiating, and executing trading opportunities across international liquor and beverage markets.
This is a role for someone who thrives on momentum, enjoys building relationships, and can spot opportunity in a fast-moving environment. You'll be responsible for managing deals from first conversation through to final delivery, working closely with suppliers, customers, and internal teams to ensure every trade is executed seamlessly.
You'll monitor global market movements, analyse pricing trends, manage commercial risk, and develop strong partnerships across multiple regions. Every day is different, and success comes from your ability to think commercially, act quickly, and build trust.
This is a full-time remote role with a truly global focus.
What You'll Be Doing
* Source and develop trading opportunities across international liquor and beverage markets.
* Build and maintain strong relationships with suppliers, distributors, and customers worldwide.
* Negotiate pricing, commercial terms, and supply agreements to maximise profitability and long-term value.
* Monitor market trends, pricing movements, inventory positions, and global supply dynamics.
* Execute trades from enquiry through to delivery, ensuring accuracy and commercial success throughout the process.
* Work closely with logistics and operations teams to coordinate international shipments and resolve supply challenges.
* Manage market, currency, and commercial risks through informed decision-making.
* Maintain accurate trading, pricing, and stock records across relevant systems.
* Contribute market intelligence and commercial insights that support KTC's growth strategy.
* Deliver clear, proactive communication to customers and internal stakeholders at every stage of the trading process.
What We're Looking For
You are commercially minded, relationship-driven, and energised by the challenge of international trade. You enjoy negotiating, solving problems, and identifying opportunities where others see complexity.
You'll bring:
* Experience in trading, sales, procurement, distribution, or commercial roles within FMCG, liquor, beverages, or related industries.
* Strong negotiation and deal-making capability.
* An understanding of international supply chains, logistics, and cross-border trade.
* Experience analysing pricing, market trends, and commercial performance.
* Confidence working with data to make timely, informed decisions.
* Exceptional relationship-building and communication skills across diverse markets and cultures.
* Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
* The ability to manage multiple opportunities and priorities simultaneously.
* A proactive, entrepreneurial mindset and a willingness to take ownership.
* Fluency in English; additional languages are highly regarded.
* A degree in Business, Economics, Finance, International Trade, or a related field is advantageous, but practical commercial experience and a proven track record are equally valued.
Why KTC?
At KTC, you'll join a business with a global footprint, a strong reputation, and an entrepreneurial spirit that has endured for generations.
You'll have the opportunity to:
* Work with customers and suppliers across international markets.
* Be trusted to make decisions and create commercial impact.
* Develop deep expertise in global liquor and beverage trading.
* Join a collaborative team that values initiative, accountability, and relationships.
* Help shape the future growth of a business built on opportunity, reliability, and trust.
* If you're motivated by international trade, commercial opportunity, and the challenge of connecting supply with demand on a global scale, we'd love to hear from you.
