The Aluminum CBS will join a suite of successful analysis reports covering a range of Metals and will require someone who enjoys engaging with clients and who can participate in S&P Global webinars and conferences as a thought leader.
Who we are: S&P Global Commodity Insights and S&P Global Market Intelligence are leading independent providers of news, analytics and benchmark prices for the commodities and energy markets. Customers in over 150 countries look to our expertise to deliver greater transparency and efficiency to markets.

The Career Opportunity:
As well as joining an internationally recognized, NYSE-listed company, you will become part of a highly motivated, global group of analysts at a time of exciting growth in the commodity space. Building the content and data required for a new service will provide exposure to colleagues in product development, marketing, and other departments. Working within a team of experienced analysts will help you gain valuable experience of a range of traded commodities and global markets.
