Reporter - Americas Natural Gas
The Role: You are an experienced, scoop-driven business news journalist who loves serving readers with the commodities- and financial-market-relevant news they need to make critical business decisions. You know your market, and you can’t wait to tell people what’s happening.

You will give readers actionable insight into the growing variety of approaches to natural gas system decarbonization across all levels of regulation and the effects on long-term gas demand in the US.
The team: Your manager will be the head of Gas and Policy News for the Americas, and you will interact with the power news teams, as well. You will be surrounded by experienced journalists and analysts. The environment is fast-paced, congenial and professional.
The impact: Our real-time, subscription-based news service reaches an influential readership that includes policymakers, utilities, pipeline operators and many leading financial players.
Your skills: The successful candidate will be adept at identifying the most important news developments in the sector, reporting on breaking news and crafting proprietary stories on key industry trends. In addition, our reporters provide on-the-ground coverage of hearings, shareholder meetings, conferences and other significant events.
