Senior Analyst, Base Metals

About the Role

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!

What You'll Do

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

What We're Looking For

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.

Equal Opportunity & Accommodations

We are an equal opportunity employer and are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. We welcome applications from all qualified candidates regardless of race, colour, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, age, or veteran status. If you require any accommodations during the application, interview, or hiring process, please let us know — we're happy to work with you to meet your needs.
