Trade Finance Solutions Operations Expert / Trade Finance Solutions Operations Expertess

Location: Geneva, Switzerland

At Bunge, Trade Finance Solutions is more than just transaction processing; it plays a vital role in financing global commodity flows, driving business growth, and safeguarding the organization against financial and operational risks. As our Trade Finance Solutions (TFS) business continues to expand, we are seeking an experienced Trade Finance Solutions Operations Expert to join our dynamic team.

This position serves as a critical control layer between commercial teams, banking partners, and operational execution. You will help ensure that complex Trade Finance transactions are structured, documented, risk-assessed, and executed in accordance with internal policies and international Trade Finance standards. This is an exciting opportunity for professionals in Commodity Trade Finance Operations who thrive on solving complex challenges and influencing key business decisions while working at the intersection of banking, risk management, and global trade.

What You'll Be Doing

As a subject matter expert within the Trade Finance Solutions team, you will provide oversight, risk control, and advisory support for complex Commodity Trade Finance transactions. You will work closely with Commercial, Treasury, Legal, Accounting, Operations, and international banking partners to ensure that transactions are structured correctly, risks are identified and mitigated, and controls are maintained throughout the transaction lifecycle.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Reviewing, structuring, and validating Structured Letters of Credit and Trade Finance documentation.
• Providing expert advice on transaction structures, Letter of Credit wording, risk mitigation, and compliance requirements.
• Assessing and approving complex and non-standard transactions, including multi-bank and cross-border financing structures.
• Acting as a key control layer between commercial structuring and operational execution.
• Supporting and guiding global execution teams on complex transactions, exceptions, and best practices.
• Collaborating with banks, clients, and internal stakeholders throughout the transaction lifecycle.
• Monitoring transaction accuracy, financial flows, and operational controls to ensure timely, precise, and efficient execution.
• Driving operational excellence through strong governance, stakeholder management, and continuous improvement.

Why This Role Is Different

This is not a traditional Trade Finance Operations role. Our team acts as Bunge's center of expertise for complex and Structured Trade Finance transactions. While standardized operational activities are conducted by global execution teams, your focus will be transaction oversight, risk assessment, decision-making, advisory support, and control effectiveness.

You will have the opportunity to:

• Work on sophisticated Trade Finance structures that support global commodity trading activities.
• Partner directly with leading international banks and financial institutions.
• Influence business decisions on high-value, strategically important transactions.
• Act as a trusted advisor and recognized Trade Finance expert within the organization.
• Contribute to the continued growth of a global Trade Finance Solutions business.

What We're Looking For

Required Experience

• 6+ years of experience in Trade Finance within a bank, commodity trading company, or international trade environment.
• Experience in Commodity Trade Finance.
• Expertise in Letters of Credit, Stand-by LC, and guarantees.
• Deep knowledge of ICC rules and their application (UCP 600, ISBP, ISP98, URC 522, Incoterms).
• Experience reviewing and validating complex banking and Trade Finance documentation.
• Strong analytical, risk assessment, and decision-making capabilities.
• Experience collaborating with multiple stakeholders across locations, functions, and cultures.
• Fluency in English, both written and spoken.
• Strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly in Excel and Word.
• Experience in coaching, mentoring, or training colleagues.

Preferred Experience

What Will Make You Successful

You excel in complex, high-pressure environments requiring agility and sound decision-making. You effectively manage competing priorities, balancing commercial goals, operational execution, and risk management while maintaining a focus on business outcomes. You are proactive and willing to contribute to execution when necessary to drive results and support your team.

As a collaborative and adaptable team player, you enjoy working across diverse cultures, geographies, and time zones. You value strong governance, standardized processes, and operational discipline, all while maintaining an agile and solution-oriented approach.

Why Join Us

This is a unique opportunity to join a global leader in agribusiness and commodities. Bring your expertise in Trade Finance and letters of credit to become part of a highly specialized Trade Finance team at the heart of international commodity flows.

In this role, you will:

• Work on high-value, structured Trade Finance transactions that support global commodity trading activities.
• Act as a trusted subject matter expert, partnering with commercial teams, banks, treasury, legal, accounting, and operations.
