We are looking for a driven, passionate, and resourceful market analyst/reporter to join our editorial team and cover the chemicals (ethylene oxide, engineering resins and nylon) markets. The ideal candidate is innately curious and personable, able to quickly become a subject matter expert and lead coverage within the designated product portfolio.

This includes maintaining a strong network of contacts within the industries to source original, relevant and exclusive content. You will be personable and be able to quickly become a subject matter expert and lead coverage within the designated product portfolio. You will enjoy collaborative work with colleagues from various backgrounds, many of whom are located in Argus’ other offices around the globe.
