Department overview
All of Trafigura’s global derivatives positions flow through this department which gives us a wide exposure to the different global derivatives contracts in the market. Swaps and Futures is the backbone of Trafigura’s trading structure and as such we are responsible for managing the complete lifecycle of Derivative positions and are the key point of contact for all front and middle office derivative queries. Communication within this department is not limited to internal stakeholders but with external counterparties as well to ensure that the business commercial requirements are met. The nature of Trafigura’s business is constantly changing with recent assets classes being constantly added, all team members are trained to be adaptive to meet this challenge. Whilst tasks might be process-orientated, team members are encouraged to think critically to improve the current workflow. Opportunities in this team exist for cross-training and multiple members of this department in the past have gone on to take on more challenging roles within the organization
