One might think of trade finance as a hybrid of coverage/relationship management and highly specialised product roles. Thus, it’s important to demonstrate not just product expertise but also the ability to connect with and engage customers.
Interaction with Customers – The trade teams’ interactions with customers take precedence over their time spent in the office.
Product Knowledge – Legal and regulatory skills are more important than mathematical or quant abilities in this profession.
Academics and Certifications – Business studies or a Degree in Law is sufficient, but an MBA would be best for this job.
Distance Learning Options – Several colleges and institutions now offer online degrees and certificates in trade financing and management.
I hope this helps, wishing you the best of luck in your professional endeavours.
