Research Analyst

Join Neudata - Research Analyst

Introducing Neudata:

Neudata is the global leader in alternative and market data intelligence, helping investors, hedge funds and corporates discover, evaluate, and use data to make smarter decisions. Our independence is what really sets us apart - we provide objective, unbiased intelligence that our clients trust and depend on.

Neudata’s research team is at the core of what we do. Clients of Neudata have access to:

• Our research portal, allowing them to browse our catalogue of dataset reports, each of which is written by a member of the research team and pertaining to a dataset (e.g. short positions data by vendor X)

• Our research team’s expertise, allowing us to help them make informed data decisions (e.g. through calls where we share our opinion on the most appropriate dataset for their needs)

The Role:

Our expertise lies in the vast world of alternative data, spanning everything from social sentiment feeds and credit card transactions to complex ESG signals. As a Research Analyst, you will join the team dedicated to Scout, our premier platform for alternative data discovery. You will be largely interacting with:

• Data buyers, by communicating our findings via research reports and calls, and

• Data sellers, to understand their properties and potential use cases of different datasets

Your work will centre on translating complex, non-traditional datasets into actionable intelligence in a highly collaborative and inquisitive role that requires a blend of analytical thinking and clear, authoritative communication.

Your Key Responsibilities:

• Conducting in-depth research on alternative data providers and datasets

• Writing research reports on alternative datasets and industry trends

• Interacting with our client base (data buyers and data sellers), primarily through research calls and emails

• Gathering industry intelligence via effective relationships built through our reputation in the industry

• We highly encourage our Research Analysts to exercise independent thought and critical thinking, and believe this to be one of the most appealing aspects of the role

What You’ll Bring:

• Enthusiasm for data and understand its impact to users in various industries, particularly the financial sector

• Strong written and communication skills, enjoy relationship building and have an inquisitive mindset

• You want to become an industry expert in alternative data and have an eagerness to help discover new, under the radar datasets

• Knowledge of the investment management industry/alternative data market is a plus, but not a necessity

• You do not require advanced knowledge or experience in data science - this isn’t a data science role

Our Benefits & Perks:

• 25 days’ annual leave + bank holidays, plus an extra day for each year of service (up to 30 days), alongside one paid volunteering day and two paid study days per year 📅

• Hybrid and flexible working, including working from anywhere for up to 10 working days per year from a location of your choosing 🌍

• Private medical insurance via Vitality (including dental, optical, and hearing) ✚

• Enhanced maternity, paternity, adoption and shared parental policies 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

• Enhanced pension scheme via NEST 📈

• Employee referral bonus of £1,000 per successful new hire you refer 💸
