You are an experienced, scoop-driven business news journalist who loves serving readers with the commodities- and financial-market-relevant news they need to make critical business decisions. You know your market, and you can’t wait to tell people what’s happening.

The team: Your manager will be the head of Gas and Policy News for the Americas, and you will interact with the power news teams, as well. You will be surrounded by experienced journalists and analysts. The environment is fast-paced, congenial and professional.
The impact: Our real-time, subscription-based news service reaches an influential readership that includes policymakers, utilities, pipeline operators and many leading financial players.
