What you will drive

Role Purpose

We are seeking a commercial, customer‑focused Market Development Manager to grow adoption and usage of our commodity benchmarks across the markets we serve.

The role is centred on developing markets through customer relationships and partnerships, with a strong emphasis on derivatives and risk‑management use cases as a key driver of benchmark relevance, liquidity, and long‑term market adoption.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build and manage senior customer relationships across producers, consumers, traders, financial institutions, exchanges, and brokers
  • Drive benchmark adoption by embedding prices into customer workflows, including physical contracts, pricing mechanisms, and derivatives and hedging activity
  • Develop and manage strategic partnerships (e.g. exchanges, trading venues, brokers, platforms) that support market growth and participation
  • Support initiatives that improve market usage, engagement, and liquidity, particularly where financial instruments play a role
  • Identify new commercial and market development opportunities informed by customer needs and market structure
  • Act as a bridge between the market and internal teams (editorial, product, commercial), ensuring customer and market insight is reflected internally
  • Represent the business in customer meetings, industry forums, and working groups
