Opportunity to build a high-value niche in energy transition, PPPs, and institutional capital flows
Ability to shape editorial focus based on sector expertise and contacts

Required Skills, Experience and Qualifications:

Excellent written and spoken English
Highly self-motivated, proactive and persistent in sourcing stories
Ability to work independently with minimal supervision

Pre-approved expenses incurred in the course of reporting — including travel to conferences, industry events, and interviews — will be reimbursed in line with agreed guidelines
