Fertilizer Markets Analyst/Editor, Fertilizer Newsletters (London Office)
Fertilizer Week, the leading global market intelligence service, is seeking to appoint a Markets Editor to join its team of analysts around the world.
Part of the CRU Group – the leading independent authority on fertilizers, mining and metals – Fertilizer Week is a fast-growing, daily, high priced subscription digital product. Its subscribers rely on FW for daily and weekly price and market updates and use FW data in their contracts with their customers.
The successful candidate may have experience in B2B journalism or in commodities markets but will want to focus on gaining a deep understanding of the working of key global commodity markets and particularly on price and price discovery.
The main responsibilities are covering two global fertilizer markets, and the candidate will have the opportunity to become the authority on their given field, through interaction with market sources and customers. The candidate will therefore need to feel comfortable communicating with a range of international contacts from different countries and backgrounds, mainly at upper management level. This will require perseverance and a good telephone manner as well as the ability to maintain and build new relationships in order to maintain and enhance the quality of the information gathered. Networking with sources will require some travel to industry conferences.
A high level of energy and commitment are required for this job!
A background in fertilizers, metals, petrochemicals, oil and gas or other related commodities and/or shipping would be an advantage to understanding the fertilizer markets. Strong analytical skills as well as an experience or understanding of economics or commodities markets is essential. A degree in economics, science, journalism or languages is preferred, but not essential.
As analysis and report writing are the main part of the job, a high command of the English language is a must if the candidate’s mother tongue is not English. Fluency in Arabic, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese or Russian are an advantage, but not essential.
The job is full-time and based at our headquarters in London near Kings Cross/Chancery Lane/Russell Square/Farringdon tube stations.
