ARE YOU OUR NEW TRADER TRAINEE (GERMAN-SPEAKING)?

Do you want to kick-start your international career in trading and work in a fast-growing, entrepreneurial company in the heart of Copenhagen?

We are looking for a Trader Trainee with strong German language skills (professional or native level) to join our international trading team. This is your opportunity to gain hands-on experience across the full trading cycle and build a commercial career with a global outlook.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Trader Trainee, you’ll be involved in the entire trading process, from sourcing and purchasing to sales and customer dialogue in international markets, with an initial focus on the German market.

You’ll work closely with suppliers, logistics partners, and customers, gaining insights into both the commercial and operational side of trading.

Your tasks will typically include:

• Administrative and operational support tasks, including order creation
• Building your own customer portfolio over time
• Sales and client dialogue
• Purchasing and supplier dialogue
• Close collaboration with Logistics, Business Operations, and Finance
• Market research and outreach to new customers
• Handling claims and commercial follow-ups

You will follow a structured trainee programme with onboarding, mentoring, and continuous development, giving you the tools to grow into a commercial role within trading. As part of our trainee team in Copenhagen, you will also contribute to shared trainee responsibilities and support day-to-day activities in the office.

YOUR PROFIL

WHY JOIN US

We offer a 2-year in-house trainee programme with the possibility of permanent employment upon completion.

You’ll gain hands-on experience, take on real responsibility, and develop both professionally and personally in a supportive and ambitious team. We are a young, social company with a flat structure, where your ideas matter and you have the opportunity to make an impact.
