Job description

Editor, (Junior level) Energy Transition Supply Chains

Full Time

Description

You will join the Benchmark Source team at Benchmark Mineral Intelligence (Benchmark), the world’s leading intelligence provider for the electric vehicle (EV) and lithium ion battery supply chain.

You will be tasked with creating data-driven news analysis, features, and other content for Benchmark’s multi‑media subscription service, Benchmark Source, with a particular focus on the upstream and raw material markets, although fully supply chain coverage will be expected.

This will require information collection from both Benchmark’s expert teams of in‑house analysts and from contacts from across the lithium ion battery supply chain from mine to EV. Coverage of other clean energy supply chains including rare earths and copper will be included.

Strong writing skills are a must. The successful candidate must be able to combine analytical rigour with strong narrative skills to produce persuasive, data‑driven content tailored to diverse audiences.

You will also be required to use Benchmark’s proprietary datasets and excel to support your written analysis. You will also work closely with Benchmark’s design teams to support the delivery of Benchmark’s online content, infographics, newsletters, and video content.

It is key that you are a motivated individual that is eager to understand the energy storage revolution and the key commercial developments that are making it a reality.

Over time it will be expected that you take on more responsibilities in the role so having a willingness for this is key. This includes direct client liaison, representing the company at conferences and supporting sales and marketing efforts to help promote Benchmark Services.

This role will be hybrid, working predominantly in the office although home working some days is anticipated.

Key responsibilities

• Produce written analysis and content on the global energy storage supply chain for Benchmark’s website, newsletters and ad‑hoc white papers.
• Work with Benchmark’s analysts and use Benchmark’s data to support producing content
• Work with Benchmark’s design teams and data visualisation software to create graphics and charts
• You will be expected to support in editing and proofing of articles of fellow team members
• Gather first‑hand information from interviews and communications with key industry figures where relevant
• Develop contacts in lithium ion and other clean energy supply chains
• Engage with the wider Benchmark team to share insight and market information
• Support the Benchmark Source team to deliver high quality content
• Support day‑to‑day administrative tasks for the team
• Work with other teams (design, video, sales etc) to support the delivery of Benchmark content

Requirements

• 1+ years’ experience in an analyst, price reporter, or journalist role
• Have a base understanding of the battery industry and its supply chain
• Excellent written communication and attention to detail
• Comfortable working with data and excel
• Skills in data visualisation would be a plus
• Comfortable speaking to all members of Benchmark’s teams and senior representatives of the industry

Benefits include

• Competitive Salary
• 25 Days Holiday (fixed) + 1 day off for your Birthday
• 2 Mental health days per year
• Statutory Pension Contribution
• Staff social events
