Senior Reporter, Commodity Finance
Full-time
Location: London, hybrid
Salary: £40,000 – £50,000
Own a specialist beat covering the financial machinery behind global commodity markets. This is a role for a reporter who wants to break news and build authority on one of the more technical and consequential beats in financial journalism.
You would join an established B2B intelligence and events business whose readership spans the banks, trading houses, and advisers active across commodity finance. Commodities underpin the world economy, and the financing behind them is where the market intelligence sits. You would cover the mechanisms that fund physical and financial commodity trade, from structured trade finance to the institutions driving it: investment and commercial banks, commodity trading houses, hedge funds, insurers, and regulators.
