  • Established experience working alongside senior equity research analysts, with direct exposure to the research publication lifecycle.
  • Excellent written and interpersonal communication skills, with the ability to present complex ideas clearly and concisely to institutional clients and internal stakeholders.
  • Active FINRA licenses: SIE, Series 63, Series 86, and Series 87 (or commitment to obtain upon hire).
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience.

Beneficial Skills & Qualifications
  • MBA, graduate degree, or CFA designation, reflecting a commitment to advanced financial expertise.
  • Sector-specific knowledge of Upstream Energy, including familiarity with exploration and production dynamics, commodity markets, and energy company valuation frameworks.
  • Experience engaging directly with company management teams or institutional investors in a research or advisory capacity.

  • Exposure to global institutional clients and cross-regional research collaboration, broadening your professional network and market perspective.
  • Support toward obtaining and maintaining your FINRA licenses (SIE, Series 63, Series 86, and Series 87), with access to learning resources and regulatory guidance.
  • Structured learning and development opportunities, including access to industry training, mentorship from senior research professionals, and defined pathways for career progression.
  • A culture that values independent thinking and intellectual rigor, where your analytical contributions directly influence research quality and client outcomes.
  • Competitive compensation and financial wellbeing benefits, commensurate with a senior-level role at a leading global financial institution.
