As well as joining an internationally recognized, NYSE-listed company, you will become part of a highly motivated, global group of analysts at a time of exciting growth in the commodity space. Building the content and data required for a new service will provide exposure to colleagues in product development, marketing, and other departments. Working within a team of experienced analysts will help you gain valuable experience of a range of traded commodities and global markets.
