Senior Analyst, Base Metals

Ready to own fundamentals coverage across one of the world's most important base metals markets? We're looking for a Senior Base Metals Analyst to lead coverage from raw materials through to end-use demand. You'll combine production, trade, and consumption data into a single, reliable market view, and use that analysis to inform price forecasts and commentary our audience relies on. It's a highly visible role at the centre of our market intelligence work — and a genuine opportunity to build expertise across the full value chain!

Combine trade data, national production statistics, and supply-side data into a clear, well-reasoned read on the market. Calculate and maintain apparent consumption, aligning supply and demand-side figures into a consistent picture. Track downstream demand, including end-use product consumption, to explain what's driving the market.

• Validate data for accuracy, resolving inconsistencies across sources
• Maintain a daily model tracking upstream raw material movements
• Analyze quarterly production, capacity, and supply-side developments
• Contribute to the team's price forecasting output
• Produce clear, well-argued market commentary under time pressure
• Partner with analysts, editors, and commercial colleagues to keep coverage consistent

Experience in commodity, metals, or data-intensive market analysis, with strong data-handling skills and confidence working with information from multiple sources. Interest in forecasting or forward-looking analysis is a plus. Confident written communication and the ability to deliver commentary under time pressure are essential, along with a team-oriented approach to working across groups.

Applications are encouraged from candidates with a range of backgrounds and experience levels — we value strong analytical, writing, and teamwork skills as much as specific market history.
