Overview

About the programme

Woozle Research is offering a 6-month paid graduate programme for future investment researchers looking to fast-track their careers. This position offers the opportunity to transition into a full-time role upon successful completion of the programme, depending upon performance.

The Woozle Research Expert Connections Team (ECT) supports a diverse client base, including hedge funds, private equity firms, venture capital firms, consulting practices, and professional services organizations.

What You’ll Do

As a Graduate Analyst, your responsibilities include (but are not limited to):

• Be responsible for supporting client projects, including finding and onboarding experts for research projects across a range of industries and sectors.
• Reaching out to prospective experts and deliver compelling pitches using our communication and recruitment strategies in a fast-paced, competitive environment
• Bring strong self-confidence and a drive to consistently hit targets.
• Collaborate and support Senior Analysts serving clients to fulfil urgent, time-sensitive recruiting requests
• Demonstrate outstanding business communication and talent-acquisition skills
• Help to build and leverage Woozle’s network to identify and attract world-class experts across diverse sectors

You’ll gain hands-on exposure to multiple methodologies, sectors, and client types including hedge funds, private equity, and consulting firms.

This is a rare opportunity to learn directly from senior investment professionals, contribute to live projects, and build a network in the investment world.

Who You Are

This programme is designed for ambitious graduates ready to hit the ground running. You’ll likely:

• Be a recent graduate (any subject welcome)
• Be intellectually curious and commercially aware
• Enjoy speaking to people and extracting insights
• Confidence in making outbound cold calls when needed and various other outreach methods
• Experience gained in a role where you have had outreach experience would be beneficial
• Successful track record managing multiple, simultaneous complex tasks and working in team environments, either during education or within a professional environment
• Thrive in a meritocratic, entrepreneurial culture
• Be excited about learning how investment decisions are made
• Ability to professionally manage resistance and consistently close recruits
• Full business proficiency in English; another modern European language would be a bonus

Career Progression

After achieving specific quantitative and qualitative goals (conversion of recruits, consistent quality delivery), Graduate Analysts typically progress onto a client-facing Analyst role. This depends on business need and individual performance.

What You’ll Get

• £26,000 pro-rata salary + performance-based annual bonuses + strong commission structure
• Monthly & ad-hoc micro-bonuses to recognise standout contributions
• Full medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Flexible hybrid working – 3 days from home, 2 in our London office
• Study support for qualifications like the CFA, plus learning stipends
• A clear path to a full-time offer and long-term Analyst career
• Access to world-class training, live mentorship, and structured feedback
• Real exposure to global hedge funds, PE, and consulting firms
• Work on meaningful projects from day one — your insight matters
• Culture of radical transparency, meritocracy, and continuous learning
• Peer recognition programmes and regular team shout-outs
