Role Purpose:
Lead and transform Bunge’s end‑to‑end Trade Execution across Bulk/Dry and Container value chains—consolidating and streamlining the global container business post‑Viterra merger, embedding enhanced controls, and reimagining the trade execution taxonomy using an Agentic AI lens. The role delivers step‑change improvements in speed, accuracy, cost‑to‑serve, cash conversion, risk management, and customer experience, enabling a scalable, resilient, and data‑driven Bunge supply chain.
Main Accountabilities:
- Strategy & Operating Model Transformation
- Define and execute the Target Operating Model (TOM) for Trade Execution that unifies Bulk/Dry and Container flows, optimizes handoffs, and standardizes global SOPs/RACI.
- Establish a “Bunge Trade Execution Taxonomy & Ontology” (process, data, events, controls), designed for event‑driven, AI‑first operations and audit‑ready traceability.
- Build a multi‑year roadmap (people, process, data, tech) to improve velocity, quality, and cost‑to‑serve; align with Bunge’s enterprise strategy and GBS model.
- Post‑Merger Integration – Container Business
- Consolidate and streamline Bunge’s container execution post‑Viterra integration—harmonize policies, lanes, rate cards, vendor panels, SLAs, SOPs, KPIs, and data standards.
- Rationalize carrier/forwarder base; implement network and flow design for detention/demurrage (D&D) avoidance, equipment optimization, and improved on‑time performance.
- Lead change management: communications, training, capability uplift, and adoption.
- End‑to‑End Trade Execution Leadership (Bulk/Dry & Container)
- Own the execution cycle: contract setup, vessel/container nomination, booking & scheduling, documentation (LC/collections/open account), pre‑shipment & shipment operations, post‑fixture, laytime/demurrage & claims, settlements, and exception handling.
- Ensure tight integration with Global Freight (chartering, voyage management), Ports/Terminals, Surveyors, and Inspection providers for throughput reliability.
- Drive zero‑defect documentation and on‑time presentation to banks/buyers; minimize revenue leakage and time‑bar exposure.
- Controls, Risk & Compliance
