Who we are / Careers

Build your career at the intersection of engineering and trade.

Global Trading is growing. We are an engineering-led international industrial supply company based in Ataşehir, Istanbul — and we hire for technical knowledge, commercial initiative, and a genuine understanding of industrial markets.

Why Global Trading

What it means to work here

Global Trading is not a conventional trading company. We operate as an engineering-led sourcing practice — which means the work is technically demanding, commercially focused, and internationally exposed. Every member of our team engages directly with international procurement teams, technical specifications, and supply chains spanning Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

01
Technical depth expected

We hire people who understand what they are sourcing. Sales roles require product knowledge. Procurement roles require specification literacy. Support roles require process rigour. Generic commercial skills alone are not enough.

  • Full origin disclosure on every shipment
  • Manufacturer name provided in all commercial documents
  • No undisclosed intermediaries in our supply chain

02
International exposure from day one

Our clients, suppliers, and logistics partners span 40+ countries. Every role involves international communication — in English at minimum, with Turkish and Arabic highly valued. You will engage directly with procurement teams in the Middle East, Central Asia, and beyond.

  • Pre-engagement supplier qualification on all new sources
  • Sanctioned-entity screening on every new supplier
  • Documentation capability confirmed before first order

03
Responsibility, not hierarchy

We operate with a flat, accountability-driven structure. Every team member owns their deliverables from start to finish — from RFQ receipt to shipment documentation. There is no passing work between departments; there is only getting it done.

  • Solar PV systems, inverters & storage — active supply
  • Boron — classified EU critical mineral for green technologies
  • No supply of prohibited dual-use or weapons-grade materials

04
Istanbul base, global mindset

We are based in one of the world's most strategically significant cities for international trade. Our work is shaped by Istanbul's position as a supply corridor between European manufacturing and global industrial markets — and our team understands and leverages that position every day.

  • Direct origin supply — boron from Türkiye, not re-exported
  • 3–7 fewer sea-freight days vs European competitors for MENA
  • Fewer handling stages = lower breakage, waste & emissions

05
Growth with the company

Global Trading is expanding its product verticals, geographic reach, and digital platform. People who join now join a company at a growth inflection point — with the opportunity to grow their own role as the company grows around them.

  • Full compliance with Turkish export control law
  • International sanctions screening on all transactions
  • Transaction records maintained per statutory requirements

06
Competitive compensation

We offer competitive compensation aligned to the Istanbul professional market, with performance-linked incentives for commercial roles. Compensation details are discussed transparently at the first interview stage.

  • Framework supply agreements reduce emergency procurement
  • Planned delivery schedules lower last-minute air freight
  • Repeat relationships reduce re-qualification overhead
