Reuters is seeking a sharply focused, relentlessly driven journalist who is passionate about breaking news to join the U.S. energy team, helping cover the decade’s most important story: the shale oil revolution that has redrawn domestic and international crude trade.
The position will focus on uncovering news about the people and infrastructure moving and processing surging volumes of domestic crude.
As part of a team of a dozen reporters covering North American oil, the successful candidate will also be expected to produce enterprising scoops and unearth hidden aspects of the opaque, dynamic crude oil market. Assessing prices is also part of the role.
The reporter will need to develop deep contacts in the secretive industry to master complex arbitrage activity, understand how traders can profit from volatile shifts in fundamentals and write authoritatively about market trends – before our competitors do. With a strong source base and growing expertise, the reporter will be expected to produce exclusive news that will set the agenda not only for our core energy market users, but also for smart financial professionals across the world.
This role will be based in Houston.
