Editor, Middle East Oil News

Grade Level (for internal use): 09

The Team

SPGCI’s EMEA oil news team includes journalists in London, Dubai and, now, Riyadh – part of a larger global news team comprehensively covering the commodities and shipping industries. Our Middle East-based journalists sit in a varied and dynamic region that is the epicenter of the oil and gas industry and a growing geopolitical force.

Responsibilities and Impact

This Saudi-based position will work closely with EMEA counterparts, including editors in London and a network of stringers across the region, to produce class-leading news and content across multiple platforms.

• This position offers an opportunity to report in the world’s largest oil exporter and the de facto leader of OPEC, with growing natural gas, hydrogen and renewables ambitions.
• With world oil and gas demand hitting new records every year, Saudi Arabia – along with OPEC and its allies -- has a growing role to play in global geopolitics, while also being challenged by increasing energy transition pressures.
• SPGCI’s news across the commodities chain can move markets, influence policy and shape executive decisions.
• Ambitious journalists will have scope to pursue a plethora of stories and interviews to inform and educate our readers.

Responsibilities:

• Reporting on Saudi/Middle East energy issues with a focus towards oil.
• Knowledge of the region and the importance of energy to Middle East economies.
• Producing a wide range of content, including breaking news, in-depth features, interactive infographics and podcasts.

What We’re Looking For:

• Excellent writing and publishing skills.
• Established contact base in the region would be an advantage.
• Arabic language skills would also be an advantage.
• An understanding of energy markets, particularly in oil and gas, would be an advantage.
