• Coordinate cross-sector and thematic research initiatives, bringing differentiated investment ideas to market through structured, well-managed delivery.
• Manage franchise communications including research podcasts, marketing campaigns, and cross-department publication efforts to maximise audience engagement.
• Monitor market developments, investor trends and client feedback to identify opportunities for content enhancement, innovation and franchise growth.
• Evaluate and support the adoption of new technologies, including AI-enabled tools, to improve research workflows, content delivery, and client engagement.
• Contribute to research commercialisation, distribution and client engagement initiatives designed to broaden franchise reach and increase business impact.
• Support senior Research management on strategic projects and broader business priorities.

• Strong fundamental analytical skills, including experience analysing companies, sectors, markets or investment themes.
• Track record of analysing business performance, client engagement metrics, and market trends to generate clear, actionable conclusions.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and coordinate across stakeholders in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong written, verbal, and presentation skills, with the ability to communicate complex ideas clearly to diverse audiences.
