Job description

This position is for self‑employed contract work only. All work is coordinated remotely, offering the flexibility of working from home.

Euromonitor International is looking for a professional with a background in financial services to support the fieldwork for our market research projects. You will be engaged on short‑term ad‑hoc projects, each supported by a project manager in one of our EMEAI offices. Because the nature of our work is very ad‑hoc, there may be long periods between projects – ideal for someone already freelancing with other clients and looking to expand.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct thorough due diligence on companies in the context of M&A and IPOs, assessing their financial health, market positioning, and growth prospects.
• Engage with key stakeholders for insights relevant to investment valuations.
• Collect and analyse data from diverse sources to support investment valuations and decisions.
• Review and gather information from secondary sources.
• Develop a market and financial model for the investment.
• Generate detailed reports and presentations using MS Excel and Word to communicate findings and recommendations effectively.
• Maintain a minimum availability of 30 hours per week when actively engaged on a project.
• Participate in continuous training in our market research methodologies via online courses and selected live training sessions.
• Collaborate with an international team across EMEA and beyond.
• Contribute to research projects for top multinationals and develop yourself as a local market research expert.

Qualifications

• Knowledge of the Financial Services industry.
• Experience within the financial field is required.
• Tenacity in the pursuit of information and a keen attention to detail.
• Strong communication skills and a willingness to find strong industry contacts.
• High level of numeracy – ability to work with, analyse, and interpret data.
• Fluency in English.
• Previous experience working on a short‑term contract basis or in a freelance capacity.
• Excellent time‑management, organization and self‑motivation skills.
• Proven proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel).
