As a Fortune 100, Nasdaq-listed provider, we connect clients to the global markets – focusing on innovation, human connection, and providing world-class products and services to all types of investors.Whether you want to forge a career connecting our retail clients to potential trading opportunities, or ingrain yourself in the world of institutional investing, StoneX Group is made up of four business segments that offer endless potential for progression and growth.
Business Segment Overview
Commercial: With boots on the ground authenticity at the heart of everything we do, our comprehensive array of commercial products and services enable you to work directly with our clients, across hedging, risk management, execution and clearing, OTC products, commodity finance and more.
Position Purpose: StoneX Supply & Trading (SS&T) is the physical commodity trading arm of StoneX, a Fortune 500 financial services firm. SS&T originates, finances, moves, and markets physical commodities around the world. The Corporate Development Integrations team is the on-ramp to SS&T’s operating Platform and is responsible for evaluating and onboarding every new business, trader, and trade flow that joins SS&T. The Physical Commodity Integrations Analyst is an entry-level position that supports the onboarding of new businesses onto the Platform and supports the execution of the business while it transitions. Tasks can include entering trades in the system of record, onboarding counterparties, coordinating with accounting and settlements, reviewing positions and P&L, and evaluating valuations and mark-to-market. The role will also include due diligence on potential acquisitions, tracking, and reporting on current and future integrations. The Analyst will follow established processes and templates for integrations and is expected to flag issues early and ask questions when something is unclear. This is first and foremost a learning role: by doing the day-to-day work of a trade – how it is captured, hedged, financed, confirmed, settled, and accounted for – the Analyst builds a front-to-back understanding of how a physical commodity business operates and learns Nyle, SS&T’s proprietary CTRM.
The Platform
Growth in physical commodities is only durable when it sits on a governed, scalable foundation. SS&T calls that foundation the Platform – the people, processes, and systems required to run and oversee a physical commodity trading business. The Platform is organized into eight functions: Legal, Capital & Liquidity, Market Risk, Credit Risk, Technology & Systems, Data & Analytics, Operations, and Accounting. At the core of the Platform is our operating system Nyle, StoneX’s proprietary, in-house Commodity Trading and Risk Management (CTRM) system, which is being rolled out across SS&T’s global businesses as the single system of record for modeling, processing, and reporting physical commodity transactions.
Responsibilities
Primary duties will include:
- Enter purchase and sale trades, pricings, and hedges into the system of record accurately and on trade date; prepare contract confirmations and transaction documentation in line with StoneX guidelines for businesses being integrated into The Platform.
- Set up and maintain contracts, shipments, bills of lading, inventory, and pricing in the system of record, and coordinate with Settlements, Cash Operations, Credit, and Accounting so invoices, payments, and receivables are processed correctly and on time for businesses being integrated onto The Platform.
- Review daily positions and P&L for assigned businesses, reconcile them to the system of record, and complete valuations and mark-to-market with Middle Office and Accounting.
- Assemble counterparty onboarding packages (financials, tax forms, trade authorities) and track them through KYC/AML and credit underwriting; monitor trade and receivable limits and control collateral and title documents.
- Teach staff of businesses that are being integrated how to do each of the above tasks (enter trades, shipments, coordinate settlements, review positions and PnL, and onboard counterparties).
- Support the integration plan for each assigned deal, trader hire, or new trade flow.
- Maintain integration trackers, checklists, and decision logs; prepare and track diligence request lists; compile target data into StoneX templates; and follow up with Platform departments on open items, flagging items at risk.
- Prepare status reports, position and P&L summaries, and presentation materials in Excel, PowerPoint, and Power BI; populate data-mapping and migration workbooks used to bring target data onto Nyle and assist with validation.
- Help maintain playbook templates and process documentation and test new Nyle functionality.

- Proficiency in Excel (lookups, pivots, basic data cleaning) and PowerPoint; comfortable working with data and reconciling numbers.
- Clear written and verbal communication skills, intellectual curiosity, and a genuine interest in learning how physical commodity trading, hedging, and trade finance work; takes ownership and knows when to ask for help.
What makes you stand out:
- Coursework, internship, or work experience in commodities, agribusiness, merchandising, logistics, trade finance, or financial services; basic understanding of futures markets, hedging, and mark-to-market accounting.
