Reuters seeks editor to lead commodities and energy coverage in Asia

Reuters is seeking an inspirational leader, insightful editor and exceptional journalist to lead coverage of energy and commodity markets in Asia, where the rise of China and India is fundamentally altering raw material trading flows as well as global geopolitics.

As Editor-in-Charge, the successful candidate will oversee a regional team of some 35 reporters covering everything from the impact of sanctions on Iran to China’s shift toward cleaner energy to the expanding role of merchant traders in the region.

The chosen candidate will need to drive coverage on two parallel, interconnected tracks: breaking market moving real-time news for professional traders ahead of the competition, from refinery glitches to iron ore stocks to GMO grain disputes; while also producing sophisticated, ahead-of-the-curve enterprise and investigative work that highlights emerging trends, analyzes major developments and tells a global financial audience about things that other people don’t want them to know.

Competing at both ends of the spectrum, from split-second specialist spot news to agenda-setting long-form enterprise, requires clear leadership, smart strategies, savvy news ideas – and above all a fierce determination to win.

Qualifications:
– Drive, ambition and a passion for winning every part of the news cycle, from breaking alerts to deep enterprise
– Proven ability to conceive and produce ahead-of-the-curve stories for a professional financial audience
– Masterful editing skills to produce clear, sharp, sophisticated energy market copy, quickly
– Track record of independently writing and reporting excellent stories, from spot news to original analysis
– Ability to lead a large, diverse team and through enforcement of consistently high standards, coaching and career development
– Minimum 5 years of news wire experience
