Job description

We are looking for a driven, passionate, and resourceful market analyst to join our team covering Biofuels markets. The ideal candidate is innately curious and personable, able to quickly become a subject matter expert and lead coverage within a designated product portfolio, including ethanol and alternative marine fuels, as well as develop an appreciation and understanding of related markets such as sustainable aviation fuel, biofuel feedstocks and carbon markets. In addition, you must be interested in energy, policy and economics, enjoy people and building relationships.

You will be writing engaging market intelligence and analysing spot prices that are timely, accurate, objective, and meaningful for our clients. This includes maintaining a strong network of contacts within the industries to source original, relevant and exclusive content. The early-stage biofuels markets in particular are developing quickly and changing rapidly, meaning we need you to be agile, and able to see the bigger picture beyond your current work scope, to identify areas where we can improve and expand our coverage to meet the changing needs of the market and energy transition. You will enjoy collaborative work with colleagues from various backgrounds, many located in Argus’ other offices around the globe including Shanghai, Sydney and London. In addition, there are opportunities to travel, attend industry events, present 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 commodities or energy industry experience. Instead, 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.

What we’re looking for in you

• A bachelor’s degree in journalism, English, communications, environmental science or studies, economics, business, or a relevant field.
• Prior experience in the financial, energy, commodities, sustainability or journalism sector is beneficial but not essential.
• Excellent writing, grammar, and numeracy skills.
• Demonstrable interest in global energy markets and energy transition.
• Comfortable preparing and delivering presentations to a range of audiences.
• Excellent command of spoken and written English. Additional proficiency in Chinese, Bahasa, Vietnamese, Korean or Japanese would be beneficial.
• Strong experience with Microsoft Office Suite with experience in Excel.
• A commitment to the highest level of accuracy and completing all writing within established deadlines.
• Personable and having excellent communication skills with the ability to network and build relationships with a range of industry contacts.
• Able to work independently while engaging and collaborating in line with the Argus values: Excellence, Integrity, Partnership, and Inclusivity.

What’s in it for you

• Work within a highly motivated team at an industry-leading and rapidly growing global company.
• Competitive salary and company bonus scheme.
• A modern office environment designed to foster productivity, creativity, and teamwork.
• Excellent location at Raffles Place in central Singapore – close to public transport and amenities.

• 20 vacation days your first year, up to a maximum of 25 days.
• Extensive internal and external training.
• Employee Welfare & Employee Assistance Programme.
