  • ability to demonstrate superior work performance, attention to detail, and a commitment to outstanding results
  • good Excel knowledge plus experience with data management
  • passion for technology and learning new tools
  • fluent in English and eligible to work in the US

Typical Day:

  • growing our data by processing financial reports using the Company’s proprietary data extraction system, assembled using cutting-edge machine learning technology
  • analyzing resulting output for accuracy and completeness using internally developed audit tools and techniques
  • monitoring / “owning” your coverage universe to support live data updates during corporate earnings season
  • interacting with our clients, the world’s leading investment firms, to answer questions about data and product functionality; supporting sales and account management teams 
  • discussing product priorities and strategic objectives with a management team that has many decades of buy-side and sell-side experience working in institutional credit markets 
  • collaborating with the engineering team to review system performance and identifying opportunities for improvement, including both internal analyst tools and our client-facing application 

Compensation:

Competitive salary, plus benefits and equity options, subject to individual experience. 20 days PTO.

Work Environment:

Dynamic, innovative, analytical, and collaborative.

Location:

This role is based in Charlotte, NC, but the business is currently fully remote due to COVID-19. The position can offer a high degree of remote working flexibility upon return to the office. The parent company is based in London, UK.
