Senior Commodity Derivatives Broker

Job Description

Senior Commodity Broker - Derivatives (Listed Futures, Options & OTC Swaps)

Energy | Oil & Products | Natural Gas & Power | Metals | Base & Precious | Agriculture | Softs | Freight | Environmental | Carbon

Location: Chicago | Miami | Dallas | Midwest | Other US locations considered

Imperium Commodity Search has been exclusively mandated by a globally established clearing and execution group to support the build-out of its US Commodity Brokerage platform.

Backed by a strong international balance sheet and significant global infrastructure, the firm is now investing aggressively in the expansion of a direct-to-client brokerage business across all commodity asset classes.

This growth is being led by a highly respected industry veteran with a proven track record of building successful brokerage franchises. Importantly, this is a leader who builds, mentors and empowers — not someone who simply manages headcount. The mandate is clear: provide brokers with the tools, platform, support and commercial freedom required to maximise revenue and long-term success.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is not a replacement hire. It is a strategic build.

\n
• A globally capitalised platform committed to US expansion
\n
• Leadership that actively supports revenue producers
\n
• Infrastructure already in place across clearing, execution and global markets
\n
• Appetite to invest properly in front-office talent
\n
• A genuine growth story rather than a mature, capped platform
\n

The hiring lead is known for backing his team — whether that means competitive compensation, better clearing solutions, technology investment, marketing support, cross-selling opportunities or strategic hires around key producers.

For senior brokers in specific asset classes, there is a clear pathway into leadership roles with responsibility for building and scaling teams.

The firm is also open to on-boarding established teams and, where strategically appropriate, acquiring or integrating Introducing Brokers into the broader platform.

The Role

We are seeking experienced Commodity Brokers with transferable client relationships across:

Energy:

Crude Oil (WTI, Brent), Refined Products, Natural Gas, LNG, Power, Emissions

Metals:

Base Metals (Copper, Aluminium, Zinc, Nickel), Precious Metals (Gold, Silver, PGMs), Steel

Agriculture & Softs:

Corn, Wheat, Soybeans, Oilseeds, Sugar, Coffee, Cocoa, Cotton

Freight & Shipping Derivatives

Environmental & Carbon Markets

Other physical and financial commodity derivatives markets

Execution coverage includes:

\n
• Exchange-listed Futures & Options (CME, ICE, NYMEX, COMEX, CBOT and global exchanges)
\n
• OTC Swaps & Bilateral Derivatives
\n
• Structured Commodity & Hedging Solutions
\n
• Physical-linked risk management products
\n

Clients may include producers, refiners, trading houses, commercial hedgers, funds, asset managers and institutional participants.

Compensation & Growth

The firm has explicitly committed to being aggressive and competitive on compensation.

For brokers with demonstrable transferable revenues, both base salary and bonus structures can be improved upon versus current arrangements. Packages are designed to reward production, incentivise growth and provide meaningful long-term upside.

Beyond compensation, this platform offers:

\n
• The ability to scale revenue with strong balance sheet backing
\n
• Leadership opportunities for senior producers
\n
• The chance to build and grow teams within specific commodity verticals
\n
• A collaborative, growth-oriented culture rather than a restrictive corporate environment
\n

Location Flexibility

Primary focus locations include:

\n
• Chicago
\n
• Miami
\n
• Dallas
\n
• Midwest United States
\n

However, compelling individual brokers or teams may be supported in establishing operations in alternative US locations where there is a clear commercial rationale.

Candidate Profile

We are interested in speaking with:

\n
• Established Commodity Brokers with portable client relationships
\n
• Producers across listed futures, options and OTC commodity markets
\n
• Individuals motivated by growth, leadership and long-term franchise building
\n
• Teams seeking a stronger capital base and global infrastructure
\n
• Introducing Brokers exploring integration into a larger clearing platform
\n

A Different Type of Brokerage Build

Many firms claim to be “growing.” Few combine genuine capital backing, international scale, leadership credibility and a mandate to invest properly in talent.

This is an opportunity to join early, shape the direction of a US commodity brokerage franchise, and work under leadership that understands what revenue producers need to succeed.
