We need a passionate investment analyst to find investment opportunities!
You'll build the investment research that powers everything we publish and sell.
You'll work directly alongside our Head of Investing Research to scale our research engine and feed our content team, our products, and our AI tools.
Your job is rigorous research to find investment opportunities based on macro economic shiffts.
What You'll Do
- Find investment opportunities based on macro economic shifts
- Own the investment theses end to end - from primary sources (filings, transcripts, channel checks) to talking to industry experts to using our research system to identify where the investment opportunity is
- Take independent, non-consensus views when warranted, and show your work.
- Structure your analysis into research notes we can turn into published reports without losing the argument.
- Ship research-grade outputs on a recurring deadline.
- Help strengthen our research system and AI tools (like the Briefs Score) that are built on top of our research.
