The Role
As Regional Metals Editor - EMEA, you’ll oversee a talented team of 5–6 reporters covering both primary and recycled metals markets.

- Develop your team’s expertise and ensure ongoing professional growth.
- Represent the organisation at conferences, client meetings, and industry forums.
What You Bring
- Strong editorial experience in commodities, business, or financial journalism (metals expertise ideal but not essential).
- Proven leadership ability, with experience developing and managing editorial teams.
- Understanding of price discovery, methodologies and the role of benchmarks in global trade.
- Confident external communicator with a track record of stakeholder engagement.
- Ability to balance editorial integrity with commercial and strategic priorities.
