Full Job Posting
About Cebron Global
- Cebron Global is a specialist advisory firm structuring and arranging trade finance facilities for mid market commodity traders and processors across the Middle East region.
- We bridge the $2.5 trillion global trade finance gap by connecting proven commodity flows with alternative credit funds, family offices, and institutional trade finance providers.
- We are not a lender; we are a trusted arranger and capital introduction platform.
Your Role
- Identify and build trusted relationships with mid tier commodity exporters, importers, and processors in your market who require trade finance facilities above the capacity of local banks.
- Originate mandates for facilities typically sized $25M to $100M+, backed by confirmed LCs, pre export contracts, or verified warehouse collateral.
- Pre screen the counterparty, underlying trade flow, and off taker, working alongside our third party verification partners (inspection, collateral management, legal).
- Present structured, funder ready opportunities to Cebron’s Introduction desk, who will manage the funder engagement and placement process.
- Maintain a disciplined pipeline and work collaboratively with ME team that covers multiple countries and commodity verticals.
Who You Are
- An ex trade finance banker, structured finance professional, or seasoned commodity trade advisor with a live Rolodex in one or more Middle East region markets.
- You understand LC mechanics, UCP 600, pre export structures, and the risk/credit considerations of alternative funders.
- You are known and trusted within your local commodity ecosystem—whether that’s crude, cocoa, cashew, tea, coffee, copper, or another bankable flow.
- You can spot the difference between a genuine, verifiable trade and a transaction that will never fund.
- You operate with high integrity and a compliance first mindset.
- You want to convert your network and expertise into substantial transaction fees, without the constraints of a traditional banking role.
What We Provide
- Capital Access: A global network of alternative credit funds and trade finance desks actively deploying into Middle East region.
- Deal Management Support: A central Capital Introduction team that packages your deals and manages funder dialogue.
- Compliance Backbone: Access to legal and compliance resources to ensure every deal meets international KYC/AML and sanctions standards.
- Collaborative Platform: Join a focused, non competing team where territories are respected and cross border introductions are encouraged.
- Significant Earning Potential: Compensation is purely success based and uncapped. For a $50M facility closed, your personal commission reflects a meaningful percentage of a six to seven figure firm fee.
Important Note
- This is not a salaried job. There is no base salary, no draw, and no guaranteed income.
- This role is for entrepreneurial professionals who already know where the deals are and want a platform that can actually fund them.
