The Role

As part of the Research Operations team, the primary task of a Research Analyst is to create comprehensive profiles on wealthy individuals. The profiles require extensive online research in all available sources and contain information on various aspects of an individuals’ life – including their career history, a net worth estimate, interesting facts about the individual, and their known associates. The information contained in the profiles is then used by our clients to further their business interests (e.g. by helping an NGO identify donors, or a luxury brand reach customers).

Extensive training is provided to all Research Analysts prior to their commencing work on profiles.
