(Sr.) Commercial Associate (m/f/d)

About us Düsseldorf | Hybrid (min. 3 office days/week) We’re Metalshub, a B2B SaaS scale-up on a mission to digitalise one of the world’s most traditional industries: metals and mining. Sounds bold? It is. And we need someone just as bold to join our Commercial team! Why it matters We’re building the digital backbone of an industry the world relies on. Metals and raw materials are essential to our modern world, from infrastructure and manufacturing to electric vehicles and renewable energy. Yet procurement, sales and trading in this sector remains manual, opaque, and inefficient. We’re changing that. Our platform gives industrial buyers and suppliers the tools to work smarter with greater transparency, faster execution, and more resilient supply chains. By streamlining processes and making them fit for the future, we’re supporting an industry that underpins economic progress and a greener future.
