ABOUT THE ROLE:

Grade Level (for internal use): 09
The Team: The Fertecon Analysis team is part of the S&P Global Agribusiness business unit and sits in the Fuels, Chemicals and Resource Solutions (FCRS) business line within the Commodity Insights division. For more than 40 years it has been the leading source of market information and analysis on fertilizers and fertilizer raw materials, producing a range of short- and long-term analysis products to provide data, analysis and insight on the fertilizer market and related products.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND IMPACT:

Fertilizers play an essential role in increasing and stabilizing crop yields by providing nutrients to plants – however, as chemical products, they do have an environmental footprint, which is increasingly subject to regulatory scrutiny.
As part of S&P Global’s ongoing investment in Agribusiness, the Fertilizers Analysis team will increase its coverage of topics related to sustainable fertilizer usage. The current recruitment supports this initiative.
You will be tasked with taking ownership of a designated deliverable relating to sustainability; coordinating with the wider Agribusiness Sustainability team; and preparing new analysis whenever applicable to the fertilizer industry. The outcome will include customer deliverables.

OUR PURPOSE:

Progress is not a self-starter. It requires a catalyst to be set in motion. Information, imagination, people, technology–the right combination can unlock possibility and change the world.
Our world is in transition and getting more complex by the day. We push past expected observations and seek out new levels of understanding so that we can help companies, governments and individuals make an impact on tomorrow. At S&P Global we transform data into Essential Intelligence®, pinpointing risks and opening possibilities. We Accelerate Progress.
