QUALIFICATIONS:

- 5+ years in grain merchandising, physical trading, elevator operations, or commodity origination
- Strong knowledge of basis trading, HTAs, cash markets, and CME futures
- Familiarity with truck logistics, storage management, and transload or export operations
- Entrepreneurial mindset with an existing producer network and the drive to build your own book of business from the ground up

 

JOB DESCRIPTION:

Hansen Agri-Placement represents a well-established, family-owned, farmer-first grain brokerage, trading, and risk management firm headquartered in South Carolina. The team operates across two complementary business lines. The brokerage service provides cash grain brokerage, feed ingredient brokerage, and introducing futures brokerage services — helping producers and end users navigate markets and manage price risk. The trading service is our grain merchandising arm, working directly with producers across the Southeast to buy grain, connecting farmers to the feed channel and export markets, and moving grain through truck, storage elevator, and transload facilities

As a Grain Trader & Merchandiser, you will be the link between the farm and the market — originating bushels, solving real marketing problems for producers, and moving grain efficiently through feed, storage, transload, and export channels. You will stay closely attuned to market movements, build lasting producer relationships, and manage the commercial relationships that move grain to domestic end users and international customers alike.

This role is ideal for someone who thinks in basis, thrives in a fast-moving physical grain environment, and wants the autonomy to build and run their own trading book inside a growing firm.

Key Responsibilities

- Trade physical grain from origination through delivery across truck, storage, and transload channels
- Work directly with producers to structure marketing solutions — HTAs, basis contracts, forward contracts, and hedging programs
- Manage your own market position (cash position, inventory, price risk / hedging)
- Build and maintain relationships with end users across the feed channel, domestic end-users, and international buyers
- Continuously looking for new partnerships and opportunities in the grain markets
