Houston, United States Quantum Commodity Intelligence Full time

We are looking for an experienced commodity markets professional to head our innovative carbon team’s expansion into a new region, with goals that include rapid expansion into new assessments and generating impactful news and analysis.


Reporting to the Singapore-based Global Head of Carbon, the role involves helping to hire for and manage a reporting team, news-editing their copy, writing news and features, occasional market reporting, client engagement and developing new products and services to better help our clients manage risk.


Your ideas to enhance our coverage will be encouraged, and we offer a work environment where your thoughts and experience will directly contribute to how we grow the business.


The initial workload will be focused on building a team and launching assessments throughout the Americas’ burgeoning carbon markets, but in particular the US West and East coasts. Once the team is built out, we expect the day-to-day role will involve managing news output and price assessments within a team of several journalists (50%), liaising with the industry by phone and in person, and helping to develop our carbon price assessments (25%) and writing some breaking stories as they arise (25%).


Most importantly though, we are looking for the right person and so will be happy to tailor the role to the person’s strengths where possible.


An interest in energy markets and energy transition policy is essential while a second language would be a bonus, in particular Portuguese or Spanish.


International travel and attendance at industry conferences will be required.


Training/guidance will be provided for aspects of your role.


Responsibilities


  • Alongside other regional leaders, take responsibility for the daily delivery of our global suite of carbon price assessments, news and market commentary output
  • Liaise with carbon market sources, predominantly in North and South America, to expand and refine our suite of assessments
  • Identify stories and trends for our daily newsletter
  • Ensure news articles and market commentaries are written in Quantum’s concise but value-added style
  • Ensure deliverables to Quantum’s research service are met
  • Maintain and help build the company network of contacts
  • Attend and report from industry conferences internationally


Experience and competencies


  • An interest in commodity markets and breaking news
  • At least one year of management experience
  • Very strong writing skills
  • Good mathematical skills and experience with spreadsheets
  • Awareness of price discovery in opaque markets and what it entails
  • The ability to juggle several tasks at once
  • A hands-on attitude and a hunger to work as part of a team
  • Proven experience as a self-starter who works well under pressure


What we offer


  • The opportunity to join a fast-growing company at an early stage of our development
  • A workspace where your thoughts and experience are valued, and the flexibility to shape your own role
  • Competitive salary
  • Participation in the company share option scheme
  • Health insurance, dental and vision plans
  • Life insurance
  • Retirement plan
  • Flexible working
  • Generous holiday allowance and exchange policy
