Marketing Executive

Freight Investor Services (FIS) is a leading global brokerage of freight and commodities. We are the world’s largest broker on dry freight futures, and have a strong presence across the bulk commodities, metals, and energy markets. We were the first brokerage to trade in the cleared market on iron ore and later coking coal futures, and maintain strong positions in broking steel futures on all exchanges, as well as fuel oil, base metals, fertilisers, and tanker freight.

We are proud of our innovative ethos, having been first movers on a number of products, most recently on the cobalt and air freight futures markets. In addition to brokerage services, we provide data services via our App, FIS Live, and other platforms, and education to help those entering new markets.

We have expanded via our network of trading associates and branch offices to cover derivative and physical shipping markets in London, New York, Houston, Dubai, Mumbai, Athens, Copenhagen, Geneva, Singapore and Shanghai. Through our global network, FIS offers full brokerage services, trade execution, in‑depth market intelligence and data for freight and commodities, as well as physical ship and cargo services. Our expertise in managing credit and counter party risk provides a vital competitive advantage while enabling clients to trade with confidence.
