What is a buy side analyst?

A Buy Side Analyst is a financial professional who evaluates investment opportunities for asset management firms, hedge funds, pension funds, and other institutional investors. They conduct in-depth research on stocks, bonds, and other securities to provide recommendations that help portfolio managers make informed investment decisions. Their work involves analyzing financial statements, market trends, and economic data to identify assets with strong growth potential or undervaluation. Unlike sell-side analysts, who provide recommendations to external clients, buy-side analysts focus on maximizing returns for their firm's portfolio. Strong analytical skills, financial modeling expertise, and industry knowledge are essential for success in this role.

Equity Analyst for User Testing

Mercata

New York, NY

Contractor

Re-posted 26 days ago

Job description

Mercata is looking for a few experienced buy-side equity analysts to participate in early user testing of our new AI-native Research OS for hedge funds and alternative asset managers. We are not looking for financial analysts, or investment bankers, quants or macros at this time.

If you've ever wished your research tools understood your workflow, we'd love your input.

Time commitment is just a few hours, and we'll compensate you for your time. NOTE: This is a short user-testing engagement (not an employment role).

About Mercata

Mercata is an AI-native research OS for fundamental investors.

We transform the flood of fragmented financial information into a structured, time-aware intelligence graph that analysts can actually work with.

Our platform ingests and links filings, news, press releases, and alternative data across companies, people, and markets. Rather than summarizing documents, Mercata goes deep-capturing context, evolution, and hidden relationships that matter in the sectors we cover.

By automating data ingestion and surfacing high-impact events, Mercata frees analysts from manual review and helps them focus on forming original, high-conviction ideas.

Think of it as a hyper-competent sidekick that makes the analyst look brilliant.

Requirements

Must-have

  • Buy-side analyst (long/short or long-only)
  • 2 years experience
  • Fundamental investor (not quant, not macro)
  • Experience writing notes, models, theses, and IC memos
  • Someone who has felt the pain of event triage (news, filings, PRs)
  • Curiosity about new research tools and AI-assisted workflows
  • Willingness to share constructive feedback on usability, workflow fit, and product value
