Job Description
We are one of the world’s largest companies providing news, analysis and price information to commodities and energy markets. We report first-hand on what’s happening globally in the energy space – from hydrogen to coal, crude oil to green ammonia, carbon markets to wind farms. And we do the same for economically vital markets in agriculture, fertilizers, metals and chemicals. We employ almost 600 journalists worldwide and have 30 offices in Europe, Russia, the Middle East, Africa, South Asia, China, Japan, Singapore and North and South America.
What we’re looking for
We are looking for a passionate and resourceful reporter to be our energy market news reporter in Mexico City, Mexico.
You will be a skilled writer, a lateral thinker as well as a logical one, driven by an interest in the economics of markets. You will be able to engage with contacts, develop relationships and work collaboratively.
The reporter will also be responsible for covering markets and contributing to price assessments, ensuring accurate and timely evaluation of market movements and fundamentals.
The ideal candidate brings three years covering news in Mexico and can seamlessly shift between daily breaking news and insightful analysis stories. Intelligence, curiosity, writing ability and a real desire to become a journalist are the primary qualities we look for in a very diverse pool of candidates.
What you will be doing?
The job is a challenging mix of reporting on market movements, policy changes and trends, analysing data, producing expert analysis and writing breaking news, all while adhering to strict deadlines and adhering to our journalistic style and ethics.
We provide extensive training in good writing, market assessment, industry understanding, source development, and data analysis.
There are opportunities to travel, to meet contacts, and to present at conferences and on webinars. There are also opportunities to work in other Argus offices around the world, particularly the US.
Reporting on and writing about markets is one of the most difficult and rewarding of all journalistic disciplines. Information is hard to find and verify; Argus customers expect the highest standards of analysis, accuracy and journalistic ethics; deadlines are unbreakable; and a mix of self-reliance and teamwork are essential. But working for Argus offers an outstanding grounding in many vital skillsets and areas of human knowledge, working on the frontiers of the energy transition and the future economics of the world.
