🚀 DUONG DONG GROUP IS HIRINGOil Trader | Supply Chain Administration DepartmentA senior trading seat, with the responsibility to lift the whole desk.
Duong Dong Group operates across petroleum trading, banking and finance, logistics and warehousing, and international port infrastructure. Every liter of fuel that reaches the market passes through a chain of decisions: how much to allocate, at what price and discount, to which member company, and when it must arrive.
We are looking for an experienced trader who can both run a book and set the standard for the team around it. You will hold the most complex trading and dispatch cases yourself, guide a small team of specialists day to day, and be the desk's technical reference on pricing, allocation and execution.
📊 1. TRADING & DISTRIBUTION (YOUR OWN BOOK)🔹 Own the trading relationship with a defined cluster of member companies (CTTV): read their demand, negotiate discount and pricing conditions against MOPS/Platts movements, and shape order patterns.
🔹 Manage inventory as a trading position, balancing stock levels against price direction so member companies can sell without disruption and without carrying unnecessary price risk.
🔹 Propose monthly commercial and allocation plans, with clear assumptions and scenarios, for approval by the Department Manager.
🔹 Track sales volume and margin against system data and market benchmarks. Catch price, volume and cost discrepancies early and escalate them with a proposed fix.
🔹 Prepare the periodic sales, margin and reconciliation reports for your cluster, and review the reports prepared by junior team members.
🧭 2. TEAM LEAD RESPONSIBILITIES🔹 Be the day-to-day working lead of the trading and dispatch specialists: distribute daily tasks, set priorities, and make sure deadlines and handovers are met.
🔹 Run the desk's daily market and dispatch briefing, and prepare inputs for the weekly performance review.
🔹 Mentor and train junior specialists on price reading, negotiation, dispatch and reconciliation. Review their work and correct errors before they reach the customer or Accounting.
🔹 Act as first point of escalation for the team's trading and dispatch issues, and as backup on complex cases.
🔹 Maintain and improve working procedures, checklists and report templates so the desk runs consistently.
🔹 Provide factual input on team members' performance and capability to the Department Manager, who holds the formal decisions on hiring, appraisal, discipline and compensation.
🚚 3. TRADE EXECUTION & LOGISTICS CONTROL🔹 Convert approved transfer plans into dispatch orders and tracking records, and oversee that every dispatch in progress is monitored and issues are resolved as they surface.
🔹 Coordinate with carriers (trucks, vessels), terminals and warehouses to secure complete release and transport documentation.
🔹 Work with Accounting on internal transfer and delivery paperwork, and ensure a clean settlement file for every dispatch order.
🔹 Lead the monthly freight cost reconciliation with carriers and member companies, and review payment requests before submission.
🛡️ 5. RISK & CONTROL🔹 Operate strictly within the pricing, discount and inventory limits approved by Management, and escalate anything outside them before acting.
🔹 Flag market, credit and counterparty risk early, with a recommended response.
🔹 Keep contracts, price records, approvals and dispatch files complete and traceable for audit.
🎯 HOW YOUR PERFORMANCE WILL BE MEASURED
Own book: volume, gross margin and collection quality of your cluster
Trading quality: pricing accuracy against benchmark, and inventory cost and holding-risk control
Execution: on-time delivery, document completeness, and dispatch incident rate
Control: reconciliation accuracy, freight cost variance, and compliance with limits
Team contribution: quality and timeliness of junior team output, and development progress of the people you mentor

purchasing, including experience mentoring juniors or leading a small work group.

🔹 Know fuel logistics well: trucking, vessels, terminals, warehouse release and related documents.
🔹 Read margin and reconciliation reports with confidence, and communicate clearly with Accounting, Finance and Management.
🔹 Lead by expertise and example: precise, reliable, calm under pressure, and willing to teach.
🔹 Preferred: experience in the Vietnamese petroleum market, ERP/Excel/BI reporting skills, and English proficiency.
