• Producing original stories and concise summaries that are accurate, clear, and relevant to market participants.
• Supporting senior editorial staff with research, special projects, and new coverage areas.
• Editorial Standards & Workflow
• Following established editorial workflows and adjusting coverage priorities with editors.
• Writing, formatting, proofreading, and optimising content in line with editorial and legal standards.
• Assisting with content review processes to identify factual or legal issues.
• Maintaining and updating website content, including layout, presentation, and imagery.
• Using internal content management systems and documentation processes consistently.
• Collaboration & Industry Engagement
• Working closely with market reporters and editors to identify trends and support extended coverage.
• Coordinating with marketing and social media teams to ensure aligned messaging.

• Experience in writing, proofreading, and editorial formatting.
• Understanding of commodity or agricultural market dynamics—or experience reporting on industry sectors.
• Strong research skills, including the ability to use search engines, public documents, and court records.
• Ability to work to deadlines, including occasional irregular hours.
• Exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy.
