About Via CharonVia Charon is an international trade, commodity sourcing, logistics and business consultancy company operating as part of Project Enlighten Ops LLP.

• 💱 Foreign exchange and FX-related consultancy

• 🤝 Business development and commercial brokerage

We are now looking for three ambitious Commodity Sales Brokers to join our expanding commercial team.

This is not simply a traditional sales position.

You will have the opportunity to represent an international trading and consultancy business and develop relationships with buyers, importers, suppliers, manufacturers and other commercial clients.

🚀 The OpportunityAs a Commodity Sales Broker, your job will be to identify commercial opportunities and ultimately turn them into completed transactions.

You will represent Via Charon when communicating with potential clients and business partners.

You will be selling and facilitating access to our range of services, including:

Commodity sourcing → Procurement → Shipping → Supply → FX → Consultancy

The ideal candidate will therefore be commercially minded, confident speaking with businesses and capable of taking an opportunity from the initial conversation through to a completed commercial deal. 

If you enjoy negotiation, business development, international trade and earning based on your performance, this role could be a particularly good fit.

💼 Your ResponsibilitiesYour responsibilities will include:

• Sales & Business DevelopmentIdentify and contact potential commercial clients.
• Generate new business opportunities through telephone, email, LinkedIn and other appropriate channels.
• Develop relationships with importers, purchasers, distributors and businesses.
• Present Via Charon's services to prospective clients.
• Understand the client's requirements and identify appropriate commercial solutions.
• Negotiate commercial opportunities within authorised company parameters.
• Follow leads through to quotation, negotiation and completion.
• Maintain a structured sales pipeline and provide regular updates.

Commodity BrokerageYou will also be involved in the commercial brokerage of commodities and products.

This can include:

• Identifying purchasers seeking particular commodities.
• Identifying suitable suppliers and manufacturers.
• Sourcing suppliers according to agreed regulatory and commercial criteria.
• Comparing supplier offers.
• Obtaining and reviewing relevant commercial information.
• Liaising between buyers and suppliers.
• Helping coordinate negotiations.
• Acting as a commercial intermediary between importing parties and suppliers.
• Assisting with the coordination of CIF-based transactions.
• Maintaining accurate records of prospective transactions.

International Trade ServicesYou may also introduce clients to Via Charon's wider services, including:

• International shipping
• Freight and logistics
• Import/export consultancy
• Customs and documentation services
• Foreign exchange consultancy
• Procurement
• Market intelligence
• Supply-chain solutions
• Commercial consultancy

💰 EARNING POTENTIALThis position has been deliberately structured to provide significant performance-based earning potential.

During the initial probationary period, the position is 100% commission based.

This means your earning potential is directly connected to the value of the business you generate.

Commission StructureFor qualifying transactions:

CIF Sale ValueCommissionBelow USD $30085% of CIF sale valueUSD $300 or above75% of CIF sale value

The applicable commission structure will be defined in the employment agreement and company commission policy, including when commission becomes payable and how cancelled, refunded or non-completed transactions are treated.

Why this is attractiveThere is no conventional commission ceiling stated for the role.

The more commercially successful you become, the greater your potential earnings.

A successful broker who develops a strong portfolio of repeat purchasers and suppliers can therefore potentially generate substantially more income than the basic salary alone.

🧪 THE 2-MONTH PROBATION PERIODYour first two months with Via Charon will be treated as a probationary period.

During this period:

Your remuneration is:100% commission-based

There is no guaranteed ₹17,000 monthly salary during the probationary period.

The probationary period gives both you and the company an opportunity to determine whether the relationship is commercially successful.

During these two months we will look at factors including:

• Lead generation
• Communication ability
• Sales performance
• Quality of prospects
• Ability to identify genuine commercial opportunities
• Negotiation ability
• Professionalism
• Understanding of international trade
• Compliance with company procedures
• Ability to develop client relationships
• Ability to convert opportunities into completed transactions

At the end of probation, the company may:

1. Confirm the employee and move them onto the salary + commission structure;

2. Extend the probation/engagement where appropriate; or

3. End the engagement in accordance with the applicable employment agreement and law.

💵 AFTER PROBATION — SALARY + COMMISSIONSuccessful candidates who are confirmed after probation will move onto a salary + commission structure.

Initial salary₹17,000 gross per month

PLUS

Commission according to the applicable commission structure.

The salary is subject to review following completion of approximately six months of service.

Following that review, the company may increase the salary based on:

• Sales performance
• Revenue generated
• Client portfolio
• Business development performance
• Experience and responsibilities
• Overall contribution to the company

The potential salary progression is up to ₹55,000 per month, subject to negotiation and company approval.

Statutory deductions and benefits will apply as required by applicable Indian and Maharashtra law.

📈 BUILD YOUR EARNINGS OVER TIMEOne of the major attractions of this role is that you are not restricted to a fixed-salary sales position.

Your potential income can develop through two channels:

1. Salary progression₹17,000 starting salary → performance review → potential progression towards ₹55,000/month

2. CommissionYour commission provides an additional performance-based earning stream.

This means that as you develop your:

skills → contacts → clients → transactions → repeat business

your commercial value to the company can increase.

For ambitious salespeople, this creates the opportunity to build a much stronger earning profile over time. We have had successful candidates earn up to 76 Lakhs in Year 1. This is the potential for growth. 

🌍 INTERNATIONAL CAREER OPPORTUNITIESVia Charon operates with an international outlook.

As the business expands, successful employees may have opportunities to participate in international projects and, subject to business requirements, eligibility, immigration requirements and company approval, potentially transfer to or work with offices/branches in locations such as:

🇦🇪 UAE

🇬🇧 United Kingdom

🇻🇳 Vietnam

🌍 Other international locations where Via Charon establishes operations

International transfers are not guaranteed and will depend upon business requirements, performance, vacancies and the relevant immigration/work-authorisation requirements.

🎯 WHO WE ARE LOOKING FORWe are particularly interested in people who are:

• Ambitious
• Commercially minded
• Confident communicators
• Comfortable negotiating
• Persistent
• Self-motivated
• Good at building relationships
• Interested in international business
• Comfortable approaching new clients
• Target driven
• Able to work independently

You do not necessarily need years of commodity-trading experience.

Someone with strong sales, business-development, brokerage, procurement, logistics, import/export or B2B experience could be an excellent candidate.

We are also interested in ambitious candidates who can demonstrate commercial ability and a willingness to learn.

🎓 SKILLS THAT WILL HELP YOU SUCCEEDExperience in any of the following would be advantageous:

• B2B sales
• Commodity trading
• International trade
• Import/export
• Logistics
• Freight forwarding
• Procurement
• Business development
• Financial services
• Foreign exchange
• Real estate
• Insurance
• Recruitment
• Brokerage
• Account management

Strong English communication skills are particularly valuable because you may communicate with international purchasers and suppliers.

Additional Indian or international languages may also be advantageous.

🧠 DEVELOP YOUR COMMERCIAL SKILLSWorking with Via Charon will expose you to areas including:

International trade

Commodity markets

Procurement

Logistics

Foreign exchange

Commercial negotiation

International business development

Supply chains

Client relationship management

You will therefore have the opportunity to develop skills extending beyond conventional sales.

The role is intended to provide exposure to real commercial transactions and international clients, rather than simply selling a single product.

🎁 BENEFITS & PERKSDepending on role, performance and company policy, benefits may include:

🌎 International exposureWork with clients, suppliers and commercial partners across international markets.

Work from home flexibility

As we understand in a heavily congested city like Mumbai it can be difficult to travel to the office, so the company extends the opportunity to work primarily from home if meeting at the office is difficult. You will only need to travel to meet with clients to close deals, coffee shop meetings with the team or if office sojourns are absolutely necessary. 

👔 Professional developmentDevelop practical experience in sales, international trade, commodities, logistics and business consultancy.

👕 Casual working environmentWhen meeting at the office the company operates a commercially professional but relatively modern working environment. Appropriate smart-casual clothing may be permitted where client circumstances allow.

📚 Development consultationEmployees may receive periodic professional-development discussions designed to identify opportunities for advancement and additional training.

📈 Career progressionHigh-performing employees may progress into positions such as:

• Senior Commodity Broker
• Business Development Manager
• International Sales Manager
• Procurement Manager
• Trade Consultant
• Regional Commercial Manager

✈️ International mobilityPotential future opportunities to work with international offices and branches, subject to performance, availability and immigration requirements.

🤝 International client exposureOpportunity to develop relationships with potentially high-value purchasers, suppliers, importers, exporters and commercial organisations.

🏖️ LEAVE & EMPLOYMENT RIGHTSEmployees will receive statutory leave, holidays, rest days and other employment protections applicable to their employment and workplace under Indian and Maharashtra law and company policy.

The employment framework will provide for the company's stated 15-day annual leave entitlement, together with applicable statutory holidays and other leave entitlements where required by law.

Leave must generally be requested and approved in advance in accordance with company procedures, except where circumstances make advance notice impossible.

Maharashtra's employment framework provides statutory leave and holiday protections, and the precise entitlement applicable to an employee will be governed by the legislation and rules in force at the relevant time.

💻 WORK-RELATED EXPENSESThe role is designed to encourage employees to develop their own sales networks and business-development capabilities.

Employees may therefore be responsible for certain ordinary business-development expenses such as:

• Personal mobile phone plans
• Internet/data
• Certain lead-generation services
• Data-extraction tools
• Email outreach platforms
• LinkedIn or similar professional networking tools

However, approved allowances, reimbursements or stipends may be provided at the company's discretion or where specifically agreed with the employee.

Any reimbursement must normally be approved in advance and comply with company policy.

🔐 PROFESSIONAL STANDARDSBecause Commodity Sales Brokers will have access to commercially sensitive information, employees must maintain strict confidentiality.

This includes information relating to:

• Customers
• Purchasers
• Suppliers
• Commodity prices
• Trading opportunities
• Supplier quotations
• Commercial margins
• Shipping arrangements
• Freight rates
• FX information
• Contracts
• Business strategies
• Internal databases
• Lead lists
• Trading data
• Company software and systems

Company information must not be copied, disclosed, sold or transferred to unauthorised third parties.

⚖️ IMPORTANT EMPLOYMENT CONDITIONSEmployment is conditional upon the employee complying with:

• Company policies
• Standard operating procedures
• Applicable Indian law
• Maharashtra employment requirements
• Data protection and confidentiality requirements
• Anti-fraud procedures
• Client communication standards
• Trading and procurement procedures

Serious misconduct, fraud, theft, unauthorised disclosure of confidential information, falsification of records, deliberate circumvention of company procedures or other serious breaches may result in disciplinary action or termination in accordance with applicable law and the employment agreement.

💡 WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE DIFFERENT?This isn't simply:

"Make 50 calls a day and sell a product."

You will be learning how international transactions actually work.

You could find a buyer looking for a commodity, identify a suitable supplier, coordinate the commercial relationship, introduce logistics solutions and help facilitate the transaction.

At the same time, you'll be building your own professional network.

The long-term value is therefore not only the salary.

It is the combination of:

Skills + contacts + international experience + commission + career progression🔥 THREE POSITIONS AVAILABLEWe are currently recruiting for:
