Associate Market Advisor

We are an independent brokerage organization seeking a motivated, sales-driven Associate Market Advisory (Commodity Broker) to join our team. This is a developmental role designed for someone who wants to build a long-term career in commodity futures and options brokerage and is willing to learn the business from the ground up.

We are seeking candidates who align personally and professionally with our core values of stewardship, servant leadership, courage, commitment, integrity, loyalty and passion.

We are looking for someone with the right combination of sales ability, customer service skills, initiative, professionalism, and the ability to learn quickly.

The Associate Commodity Broker will begin by working with warm leads and existing subscribers, developing relationships with prospective brokerage clients, and helping convert qualified prospects into brokerage customers. At the same time, you will receive extensive hands‑on training in our brokerage operation, futures and options markets, client servicing, regulatory requirements, and the responsibilities required to eventually manage your own book of business.

This is not intended to be a permanent associate position. Successful employees will progress through a structured development period of approximately 9-18 months, depending on demonstrated knowledge, performance, and readiness, with the goal of advancing into a Commodity Broker/Market Advisor role.

As an Associate Commodity Broker, you will:

• Contact warm leads from established call lists, including current subscribers and prospective brokerage customers.
• Build relationships with prospects and introduce the brokerage services available through our organization and Futures Commission Merchant (FCM).
• Identify prospective clients' brokerage needs and work to convert qualified prospects into active brokerage accounts.
• Conduct consistent outbound telephone and follow-up activity to develop new brokerage business.
• Learn the fundamentals of commodity futures and options markets and how our brokerage operation serves clients.
• Develop a working understanding of brokerage procedures, trade execution, account servicing, compliance requirements, and customer communications.
• Work alongside experienced brokers and team members to learn how client relationships are developed and managed.

• Maintain accurate records of prospect activity, communications, and follow-up.
• Complete required licensing and registration requirements, including the Series 3 examination and applicable National Futures Association (NFA) registration requirements, before performing activities for which those credentials are required.
• Demonstrate proficiency in the knowledge, skills, judgment, sales performance, customer service, and compliance expectations established for advancement to the Commodity Broker/Market Advisor position.

This position is designed to develop the next generation of brokers within our organization.

During an anticipated 9-18 month training and development period, you will be expected to demonstrate increasing proficiency in areas such as:

• Commodity futures and options markets
• Brokerage products and services
• Prospecting and sales
• Client communication and relationship management
• Trade and account processes
• Risk concepts and appropriate client communications
• Regulatory and compliance requirements
• Internal systems and procedures
• Customer service and problem-solving
• Professional judgment and accountability

Advancement is based on demonstrated readiness rather than simply time in the position.

Once you have successfully completed the development program and met the organization's requirements for advancement, you may progress into a Commodity Broker/Market Advisor role. As a broker, you will have the opportunity to develop and manage your own book of brokerage clients, build new business, and work directly with clients in an ongoing consultative relationship.

For someone with strong sales instincts and the drive to build a business, this position offers a path from learning the brokerage industry to developing a client base of your own.

You may be a strong fit if you are:
