Senior/ Market Reporter, Chemicals – Asia Markets

Argus is looking for a senior/market reporter to join our team covering the chemicals markets.

You will learn to make chemicals price assessments in a sector of the international market and write market commentaries and news. Being part of a small team also means there will be cross-training and plenty of opportunity to gain experience of other chemicals markets, and learn from our experienced Senior Market Reporters/Editors. There are opportunities to travel and present papers at industry conferences and lead webinar sessions.

This is an excellent opportunity for market analysts, consultants, or brokers to transfer their skills and knowledge to advance their careers by joining a growing, global, independently owned organisation.

You do not need prior commodities or energy industry experience. Intelligence, curiosity, writing ability and a genuine desire to produce quality journalism are the primary qualities we look for in a diverse pool of candidates.

Monitor and assess fast-moving markets to produce daily price assessments, intelligence, market commentaries, news, analysis, and reports.
Establish strong relationships with key members of the industry and business leaders through meetings and daily communications to gain an in-depth understanding of your market.
Proactively generate news leads and pitch stories, contribute copy to the relevant publication and the online news service, and contribute to unique content (blog posts, white papers, webinars, podcasts, etc.).
Collaborate with colleagues on the desk and other teams to enhance and drive coverage.
Attend meetings, conferences, and industry events to build contacts, report on news and represent Argus in the industry.
Build your industry expertise and writing skills to provide readers with first-class market insights and analysis.
