About the Role:
Grade Level (for internal use):
13
Director, Nonferrous Metals Analysis
The Team:
You will be working with our metal analysts on our rapidly-growing commodity pricing team primarily located in London, UK, and Washington, DC. This commodity pricing team at S&P Global works with global supply chain organizations to deliver vital price and cost analysis that helps companies save millions of dollars. We do this by dissecting a material cost structure of our clients’ suppliers, to provide a detailed analysis of their prices and costs. This provides our clients a strategic advantage in negotiating with suppliers, as well as a “blueprint” of when to make big purchases.
The Impact:
In this role, you will forecast and monitor key nonferrous metals prices in the context of evolving global supply and demand dynamics, providing consistent thought leadership across a team of 3-4 metals analysts. You will work with global supply chain organizations in the energy, construction, manufacturing and retail sector to translate metal price movements into actionable business intelligence, helping global supply chain organizations secure the best price and ultimately helping global organizations improve their purchasing effectiveness.
What’s in it for you:
In this role, you will be the primary analyst and price forecaster for nonferrous metals, including aluminum, and develop the near-term buying strategy for our global supply chain clients. In this role you will not only develop price forecasts, but present and defend your outlook to global supply chain organizations through monthly and quarterly client presentations, webcasts, and podcasts. We are also looking for someone who can cultivate thought leadership on our metals team, working closely with a team of 3-4 analysts to provide a consistent and comprehensive viewpoint of the global price and cost outlook internally and externally in the S&P Global Market Intelligence division.
Responsibilities:
- Monitor, analyze and forecast nonferrous metal prices with a particular focus on aluminum
- Present the latest price outlook to our supply chain / procurement clients
- Develop thought leadership on a team of 3-4 nonferrous metals analysts
- Respond to clients’ research-related questions by providing unbiased, timely insight
- Actively participate in forecast model development efforts, including equation estimation
- Create monthly and quarterly reports with an emphasis on the next year outlook and fundamental drivers
- Support business development efforts
What We’re Looking For:
- A highly motivated and enthusiastic metals analyst
- At least 8-10 years of experience analyzing the global metals market
- Previous experience presenting complex ideas in clear and concise manner to small and large audiences
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Economics or related major
- Strong and adaptable research and analytical skills
- Statistical modeling/econometric experience, preferably in EViews
- Excellent English speaking and writing capabilities
