About the position
We are seeking a senior analyst to help support our team. We are expanding the number of companies we are engaging with and need deep background research on them, which includes analyzing their disclosures as well as other publicly-available materials. Research will also focus on cross-cutting issues such as the bond market, private equity, and proxy voting records of investors. This research is then turned into briefing notes and public reports and communications materials. There may also be times when the analyst is called on to join company engagements either in person or online, or to attend public events.

Assist with networking with allied organizations, investors, and media outlets to disseminate information.
Collaborate closely with the team on strategy, planning, and internal accountability.
