Pay & benefits

What you'll get

Joining a consolidated company with a long track record in the sector.
Real projection toward the head of the commercial area.
Shadowing and training period with the current manager for an orderly succession.
Salary starting from €40,000 gross per year plus variable pay based on objectives, according to the value and experience provided.
Company car, laptop, and per diems.
Permanent contract and full-time hours.
A position with autonomy, direct impact on the business, and a dynamic day-to-day.

If you have a commercial soul, you know the countryside, and you are motivated to grow toward a position of responsibility in a sector as lively as the cereal sector, we would love to meet you!

The role

At Paul Marlex, we are collaborating with a consolidated Aragonese company dedicated to the marketing of cereals, fertilizers, and raw materials for the manufacture of animal feed and flour, with trading operations between Spain and France. We are looking to hire a Commercial Manager with the projection to assume the head of the area, as part of a succession process planned alongside the person currently holding the position.

This is an agile structure, with a small team where each person has real weight in the business, operating in a very dynamic market where prices and conditions change from one day to the next.

What you'll do

You will be the reference person for the company's commercial activity: buying and selling cereal and agricultural raw materials, negotiating with clients and suppliers, and business development. During a shadowing period with the current manager, you will learn the portfolio, the market, and the operations, to progressively assume the management of the commercial area.

Portfolio management: maintain and develop relationships with clients (feed mills, flour mills, cooperatives, and the agri-food industry) and suppliers (farmers, cooperatives, and cereal operators).
Negotiation of operations: negotiate prices, volumes (by tonnage), qualities, terms, and purchase and sale conditions, and close contracts.
Market monitoring: analyze daily the evolution of prices, harvests, and trends, and make rapid decisions in a highly changing environment.
Sourcing: ensure the supply of raw materials, including operations originating in France.
Internal coordination: work alongside the back-office and logistics team to ensure each operation is executed correctly through to delivery and collection.
Business development: detect opportunities, acquire new clients, and propose the company's commercial strategy together with management.
Margin and risk control: monitor the profitability of operations and report to management.
Leadership: progressively assume responsibility for the commercial area and be a reference for the team.

How you'll work

Location: Alfajarín (Zaragoza) or Huesca, with flexibility to choose the workplace. On-site position, with occasional travel to clients, suppliers, and France.
