You've probably spent years building relationships in steel.

Now you want to use that knowledge differently.

You still love the steel industry.

You still enjoy the conversations, the relationships and understanding the market.

But maybe you're more interested now in why prices move.

What's changing globally.

The conversations happening behind the scenes before decisions even get made.

You're the person speaking to contacts across the steel market, piecing together what's really happening with pricing movement before it hits the wider industry.

One conversation tells you demand is softening.

Another hints at supply tightening.

Gradually, you're building the bigger picture that steel companies rely on to make the right commercial decisions.

What this is not:

Cold sales.

Chasing targets.

Sitting in a corporate environment being micromanaged.

It's all about market intelligence.

No sales.

Your new manager understands the transition people make from commercial steel into market analysis, particularly those coming from stainless steel sales, purchasing or distribution backgrounds.

Because if you've spent years in the industry, you already know the market side of steel is often the interesting bit.

As a Steel Market Research Analyst, you'll build relationships across the supply chain, gather and interpret market information, validate pricing data and contribute towards reports used by steel companies globally to make commercial decisions.

You'll become someone people trust.

Someone credible.

Someone who understands what's really happening in the market.

The culture is refreshingly normal too.

You won't walk into a big corporate environment.

It's a steady team with low staff turnover.

People are trusted to get on with their work without someone breathing over their shoulder all day.

As a Steel Market Research Analyst, you'll work closely with the research and pricing teams, attend conferences, speak with industry contacts globally and gradually become one of the people others rely on for insight into the steel market.

You'll probably recognise yourself here:

You enjoy relationship building but don't need the constant adrenaline of sales.

You're commercially aware.

You're curious.

You're calm.

You're self-driven.

Your world is stainless steel.

What's in it for you?

Salary from £45,000 to £65,000 depending on experience.

35-hour working week.

Office-based with flexibility.

Private healthcare.

Bonus scheme.

Birthday off.

Christmas shutdown.

Long-term progression.
