Argus is where smart people belong and where they can grow. We answer the challenge of illuminating markets and shaping new futures.
What will you be doing?
The Analytics & Consulting team is part of Argus Media — the largest independent energy publisher in the world. We provide clients with customised analysis, research, data and commentary services on international energy markets. Our work is firmly focused on markets — their structure, logistics and economics. Analytics & Consulting draws on Argus’ key strengths — energy markets expertise, global networks and proprietary databases — in order to deliver real client value.
The team has two divisions. Analytics produces a range of subscription-based forecasting products, which provide an outlook for market fundamentals and price over the short and long term, for many of the commodities Argus covers. The Consulting side undertakes tailor-made commissioned assignments for a wide variety of clients and across various sectors including oil & gas, chemicals, fertilizers, hydrogen, biofuels and energy transition solutions.
Argus has developed a strong global team and we are now looking for an individual to lead our Asia Consulting business through the next stage of its development. The role involves leadership of an established project-based Consulting business and oversight of input from the team into a range of analytical and data-led subscription services.
The selected candidate will work in conjunction with other regions and the Consulting leadership to grow the existing, highly successful, team. Staff that have a ‘can-do’ attitude and are prepared to play a role in all aspects of building the business will thrive. The opportunities for reward are excellent.
