* Balance being the last resort for market coverage, while overseeing others' pricing and editorial work strategically to ensure that each supports the other.
* Coordinate cross-functional, cross-department and cross-regional collaboration, helping to break down silos and enrich content or pricing coverage.
* Work with other managing editors to facilitate successful staff development and retention, maintaining a positive working environment and culture. Champion Fastmarkets' MAGICC values.
* Support recruitment of high-calibre candidates, develop and retain talent within the pricing team and across the broader Fastmarkets group, promoting cross-commodity and cross-discipline moves where desirable.
Key interfaces
* Reports to the global editorial director for the appropriate vertical, providing strategic input and contributing to cross-functional initiatives.
* Manages price reporters and team leads to implement Fastmarkets' PRA approach.
* Work closely with global editors, managing editors and price development team on developing and prioritizing price benchmarks, products and market coverage.
