We are looking for an experienced commodity market reporter to work in Quantum’s new ammonia news and price-reporting team. You will be responsible for our US and South America ammonia news coverage and price assessments, and will help to develop our contacts and reach in the Americas.

The full-time role involves reporting on international prices of seaborne ammonia trade and US domestic prices, writing engaging content on blue and green ammonia projects, and helping to expand our product offering.

Your ideas to enhance our coverage will be encouraged, and we offer a work environment where your thoughts and experience will directly contribute to how we grow the business.
