Market Data Analyst Metals & Minerals

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential global commodities intelligence firm that is expanding its metals and minerals analytics capabilities. This Market Data Analyst position offers the chance to work at the intersection of complex datasets and real-world commodity markets, turning high-volume trade information into actionable market intelligence.

Based in the United Kingdom, you will take ownership of data quality and operational processes across ferrous and non-ferrous metals, solid fuels, and industrial minerals. This role combines strong technical skills with market awareness—you'll use SQL and Python daily while staying close to the events shaping global commodity flows, from supply chain disruptions to policy shifts and pricing dynamics.

Responsibilities

• Take charge of specific regions and product groups, ensuring the highest standard of data quality by reviewing internal constraints, validating automated outputs, and ingesting data from diverse external sources
• Identify and implement technology and process improvements, including contributions to SQL queries, Python scripts, and pipeline tooling to increase efficiency and accuracy of seaborne flow data
• Track news, trade flows, and industry developments across metals and minerals markets; extract meaningful patterns and ensure they are well reflected in the data product
• Lead responses to ad-hoc client requests via email, video call, and in-person meetings with rapid, well-structured analysis
• Partner with Sales and Customer Success teams to address client data needs and feed insights back into internal systems
• Engage proactively with the broader data architecture; understand how upstream data sources, internal systems, and client-facing solutions interact, and propose scalable improvements
• Act as a self-directed team member capable of picking up complex technical tasks independently and driving them to completion with minimal supervision
• Mentor junior analysts as the team grows, acting as a bridge between raw data, market developments, and client insights

What We're Looking For

Required:

• Proven experience working with large, complex datasets within commodities, shipping, logistics, supply chains, or related physical markets
• Strong proficiency in SQL and Python (PostgreSQL, MSSQL, or similar) for querying databases, analyzing data, and automating workflows
• Strong Excel skills for analysis and commercial reporting
• Demonstrated understanding of commodity markets and the commercial drivers behind physical data
• Natural curiosity about market developments, trade flows, supply and demand dynamics, and global events influencing commodity movements
• Comfort managing high-frequency datasets, identifying anomalies, and maintaining high standards of data quality under tight deadlines
• Strong communication skills; able to translate complex technical outputs into clear, actionable insights for both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Proactive and self-directed work style with strong ownership and ability to anticipate issues
• Experience supporting or mentoring junior colleagues, or clear interest in developing others

Desirable:

• Experience working with seaborne commodity data (e.g., AIS, port or vessel data)
• Familiarity with data visualization tools such as Tableau or similar platforms
