JOB DESCRIPTION
JPMorganChase is ranked the #1 research house globally, recognized for its excellence, and our global research platform offers cross-region and cross-sector collaborations with experienced local expertise across a wide range of coverages. Within JPMorganChase, the research team provides valuable ideas and support to deal-making businesses.
Oil & Gas is one of the most globally interconnected sectors in Latin American equity markets, where local stocks trade off a combination of global crude and product benchmarks, FX, country risk, and shifting fiscal and political regimes. The region hosts some of the world's most strategically important hydrocarbon basins - Brazil's pre-salt, Argentina's Vaca Muerta, and Equatorial Margin - alongside large NOCs whose capital allocation decisions move sovereign narratives. Covering the sector requires fluency in commodity markets, reservoir and production dynamics, geopolitics, and energy transition discussions. It is a sector of high investor relevance, frequent catalysts, and meaningful alpha opportunities.
As an analyst in the LatAm Oil, Gas & Petrochemicals Research team, you will work alongside the senior analyst on coverage of listed E&P, integrated, refining, and oilfield services names across the region, with a particular focus on Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Mexico. The role combines deep fundamental modeling, commodity-linked scenario work, written research and direct engagement with institutional investors, corporate management teams, and internal partners.
