A management company for two investment partnerships is seeking a Senior Researcher to fill a direct hire position.   The ideal candidate is an exceptional searcher who can be innovative when needed, while still executing the firm’s search protocols rigorously with due diligence.  The individual will work with the Research Director to support the firm’s analysts and general partner.

THE POSITION:     The entire firm’s research is proprietary and is conducted with the highest ethical standards.  Research projects are turned around anytime from the same day to three days later and typically involve value-added manipulation. The workload is highly variable, and requires some late/weekend hours during peak workflow periods.  The researcher should be prepared for some extended hours on a regular basis. Geographic location is flexible as most of the firm's employees telecommute, however, being based on the West Coast or in Manhattan would be a plus.

REQUIREMENTS:    Minimum 5 years of recent full-time search experience.  MLS would be a major plus.  Pre-existing knowledge/understanding of financial and business concepts is required to effectively execute searches and participate in weekly analyst calls. Experience with online searching of Nexis, Factiva, Hoovers, and the Web; experience with other databases such as Zoominfo, Accurint, StreetEvents, Capital IQ , Chain Store Guide and job boards would be a plus.   Strong command of Microsoft Excel and familiarity with the various SEC filings.    Experience researching consumer industries such as restaurants or retail a plus.  Experience working in a quick turnaround, news/media or investment banking environment a plus. Able to take constructive criticism and adjust accordingly.  Effective self-manager. Strong communication  skills  including  the  ability  to  be  brief,  but  to the  point.  Proximity to a leading business school library or large public library.

Excellent compensation package.
