Reuters seeks metals reporter in London

Reuters is looking for a highly motivated and experienced journalist to lead a team of enthusiastic reporters covering the high profile industrial and precious metals markets.

These markets are a hotbed of intrigue and our reporters have led the pack on truly global stories, from the scandal over metals warehousing to the revolution around precious metal price benchmarking.

There are plenty of attention-grabbing stories to report with metals as a key barometer of global economic health, with questions over the sustainability of China’s demand for commodities and with banks beating a retreat from commodity markets.

The successful candidate will navigate the unique environment of the London Metal Exchange, the last bastion of open-outcry dealing in Britain and will cultivate contacts to shine light on the world of metals for our clients.

The successful candidate will work closely with reporters and editors in the region and globally, taking the lead on major stories.
