Structured Trade Finance at a Physical Trade House

I'm currently a sophomore studying economics at a semi target.  Been applying to a couple of trade shops for internships and one thing I've come across is "structured trade finance." Looks like an interesting role and seems like a safe career path in case don't make the trader seat.  
 

Does anyone have any more insight on this role, such as comp, day-in-a-life, etc?
