DIVISION DIRECTOR STEEL & TRADING

Company
METALIMEX

Location
Moravian-Silesian, Prague, Hybrid/Remote

METALIMEX is looking for a leader who will take responsibility for the strategy, performance, and development of the Steel & Trading Division!

This role sits at the very core of industrial trade—where volumes, margins, logistics, timing, and trust intersect. You will manage a business that has a direct impact on key industrial sectors in the Czech Republic and across Europe.

This is not about portfolio management. It is about actively steering and developing a commercial ecosystem.

What you will do:

  • Lead the strategy of the Steel & Trading Division – product portfolio, market focus, commercial priorities, and long-term sustainable growth.
  • Take full responsibility for business results, including volumes, margins, contract structure, risks, and overall profitability.
  • Develop key business relationships and lead direct negotiations with major customers and strategic suppliers in the Czech Republic, but primarily abroad.
  • Lead the sales team – setting goals, standards, and a high commercial culture.
  • Manage market and pricing strategy, working with LME commodity price developments, material availability, and market cycles.
  • Collaborate across METALIMEX functions—logistics, finance, risk management, and company leadership—you will participate in strategic decision-making and its execution.

Who we are looking for:

  • A commercial leader with experience in steel, metallurgical, or industrial B2B sectors.
  • A personality who understands high-volume trade, margins, and long-term contracts.
  • A manager with strong strategic thinking and the ability to take ownership.
  • A partner for key customers who can negotiate firmly but fairly.
  • Someone who combines commercial instinct, data-driven thinking, and decisiveness.

What you should have:

  • Proven experience leading a sales team in a high-volume B2B business.
  • Strong negotiation skills and a feel for market timing.
  • Knowledge of LME trading and pricing mechanisms.
  • Ability to lead a team, set direction, and deliver results.
  • Fluent English (German is a significant advantage).
  • Courage to make decisions in an environment where no simple answers exist.

What we offer:

  • Real impact on one of METALIMEX’s key pillars.
  • A commercial role with weight—internally and on the market.
  • Strong backing of a stable brand and the MTX Group industrial group.
  • Space for independent decision-making, responsibility, and long-term value creation.
  • Competitive compensation and performance-based bonus structure.
  • The opportunity to shape the future of the Steel & Trading segment, not just manage it.

Interested?
