Global independent energy and commodity trader with trading and logistics operations
Mercuria operates a diversified trading and asset-management platform built on SAP, ServiceNow, and Python/VBA automation. Current hiring is heavily weighted toward operations and finance roles across six countries—a pattern consistent with their stated focus on process automation (end-of-day workflows, manual task elimination) and tighter control over demurrage and cargo logistics. The project list signals operational maturity challenges: system integration with energy trading and risk management (ETRM), transfer pricing documentation, and settlement accuracy sit alongside tactical wins in process automation.
Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Geneva, Mercuria is a privately held independent energy and commodity trader operating across more than 50 countries. The company trades physical commodities, invests in strategic assets, provides financing and logistics services, and offers energy-transition solutions. Scale includes over 1,100 employees and operations spanning upstream and downstream energy assets, bunkering (through subsidiary Minerva Bunkering), and investments in renewables, biofuels, technology metals, and EV infrastructure. Recent years have seen strategic acquisitions including JPMorgan Chase's trading unit, Noble Group's US gas and power business, and Aegean Marine Petroleum Network. The organization runs a compliance-centric risk-management culture and is scaling operations in Bermuda while automating internal processes.
Mercuria uses SAP (core ERP), ServiceNow (operations), Microsoft Office, Python, VBA, and SQL. Current active projects include ETRM system integration and Python/VBA scripts for daily process efficiency.
Mercuria employs over 1,100 people across operations in more than 50 countries on five continents.
