My client is looking for talented business journalists with a desire to cover the energy markets. If you are a business journalist with at least one years experience and some knowledge of how the financial markets operate my client will be interested in hearing from you. The energy markets play a key part in the geo political and economic fabric of the world, they are fast moving and quite often volatile. The role will involve producing a mix of daily news and analysis, along with monitoring and assessing the price of various commodities (gas, electricity, petroleum). Due to the nature of the role you must be confident, a good communicator and have good basic mental arithmetic skills. You will be in daily contact with brokers, traders and other industry figures, so it is important you have experience developing and maintaining relationships with a wide contact base. As these roles involve covering markets that span Europe it would be advantageous to have fluency in one or more European language, in the case of this role you will be covering the Spanish and Italian Energy Markets so fluency in either, or both ideally, is essential. However, you will be producing your reports in English so you must have experience writing in English over a number of years.
