At Kpler, we are dedicated to helping our clients navigate complex markets with ease. By simplifying global trade information and providing valuable insights, we empower organisations to make informed decisions in commodities, energy, and maritime sectors.

Since our founding in 2014, we have focused on delivering top-tier intelligence through user-friendly platforms. Our team of over 700 experts from 35+ countries works tirelessly to transform intricate data into actionable strategies, ensuring our clients stay ahead in a dynamic market landscape. Join us to leverage cutting-edge innovation for impactful results and experience unparalleled support on your journey to success.

Kpler’s Agriculture & Dry Bulk business unit is rapidly expanding its Metals & Minerals coverage and is looking for an analytical, data-literate Metals Insight Analyst to join its growing team.

In this role, you will use Kpler’s industry-leading, real-time trade flow data to produce original, market-shaping research across exchange-traded metals (copper, aluminium, nickel, zinc, lead) and energy-transition materials (lithium, manganese, chrome). You will translate raw data into sharp short, medium, and long-term views on supply, demand, and price direction.

Because you are joining a high-growth business unit, you will play a foundational role in the evolution of our product. This is a truly hybrid-minded position where you will serve as the subject matter expert bridging the gap between market reality and technical architecture-partnering closely with our dedicated data operations team to build, refine, and validate fundamental datasets.

  • Market analysis and publications: Produce timely research on metals markets-covering trade flows, supply/demand dynamics, price drivers, and macro themes-drawing on Kpler's proprietary data alongside external sources.
  • Price outlook: Form and maintain a view on the price outlook for metals within your coverage; defend this view through publications, client interactions, and public commentary.
  • Fundamental S/D research and data development: Build and maintain supply and demand balance frameworks for commodities within your remit, and work closely with the data operations team to develop and validate the underlying datasets that support them.
  • Webinars and events: Represent Kpler at industry events, webinars, and conferences; contribute to media outreach and build Kpler's profile within the metals community.
  • Client and commercial support: Contribute to client engagement alongside Sales and Customer Success, translating complex data and analysis into clear commercial narratives.
  • Product input: Identify gaps in Kpler's metals coverage and contribute to the product roadmap by surfacing analytical needs and proposing data enhancements; collaborate with Marketing on thought leadership content and event programming.
  • 3–6 years of experience as a Commodity Analyst or Researcher with a focus on metals or closely related markets
  • Advanced Excel and data modelling; ability to build and manage large datasets
  • Demonstrable experience producing published market research, reports, or commentary
  • Hands-on experience working with trade data, pricing series, inventory data, and/or positioning data
  • Experience building or contributing to supply/demand balance models or quantitative market frameworks
  • Comfortable forming and communicating a price view to external audiences
  •  

  • A foundational understanding of SQL or Python is highly valued. We are looking for an analyst with a strong appetite and capability to develop and deploy these programming skills alongside our data teams to automate workflows and enhance our proprietary databases.
  • Experience working with proprietary or real-time trade flow data
  • Prior involvement in data or product development alongside a research role
  • Established industry network and/or media profile within metals
  •  

  • Intellectually curious: proactively interrogates data, questions assumptions, and pursues deeper understanding
  • Collaborative and hybrid-minded: comfortable bridging analytical and technical workstreams
  • Self-directed: drives projects to completion independently, managing competing priorities across research and data work
  • Commercially aware: understands what clients and markets care about and frames analysis accordingly
