We are looking for an experienced commodity markets professional to work in a fast-growing team of leading renewable fuels market reporters and analysts.
Reporting to the Editorial Director of Renewable Fuels, the role involves managing the European market reporting team of 3 people, news-editing their copy, writing news and features, occasional market reporting, client engagement and developing new products and services to better help our clients manage risk.
Your ideas to enhance our coverage will be encouraged, and we offer a work environment where your thoughts and experience will directly contribute to how we grow the business.
Managing the news file will take up about 40% of your working day and assisting the team with market coverage another 10%. The remainder of the role will be focused on client engagement and working with other regional leaders to ensure our news, price assessment offering and research are best in class.
Most importantly though, we are looking for the right person and so will be happy to tailor the role to the person’s strengths where possible.
