About Us
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
An inquisitive, numerate, and highly motivated journalist to join our European Natural Gas team in central London.
You will be a skilled writer, a lateral thinker as well as a logical one, driven by an interest in the economics of markets and how changing regulatory requirements impact commodity markets. You will be able to engage with contacts, develop relationships, and work collaboratively.
What You Will Be Doing?
The job is a challenging mix of:
- Reporting on market movements
- Assessing prices
- Analysing data
- Producing expert analysis and writing breaking news
We provide extensive training in good writing, market assessment, industry understanding, source development, and data analysis.
There are many opportunities to travel, to meet contacts, and to present papers at conferences and on webinars. There are also opportunities to work in other Argus offices around the world.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
