Role Overview:
We are looking for a Research Analyst who combines strong financial-market knowledge with excellent communication and presentation skills. The ideal candidate should be genuinely interested in stocks, commodities, and global financial markets, and be equally comfortable conducting research, writing analytical reports, and representing the company in meetings, conferences, and video content.
The Research Analyst will be responsible for monitoring financial markets, conducting economic and investment research, developing market insights, and translating complex financial information into clear and engaging analysis.
This is a research and communication-intensive role.
The successful candidate should be able to move comfortably between data and discussion — analysing market developments, preparing reports, communicating insights to clients and internal teams, and appearing confidently on camera when required.

- Identify significant market movements and analyse the factors driving price changes.
- Develop research-based market views, investment themes, and analytical insights.
- Track global financial news and assess its potential implications for local and international markets.
Research Reports & Analysis
- Prepare daily, weekly, and monthly market reports and research briefs.
- Develop sector analysis, company research, commodity outlooks, economic updates, and investment reports.
- Interpret financial and economic data and convert it into meaningful insights.
- Support senior management with research, presentations, briefing notes, and analytical material.
- Maintain accuracy, objectivity, and proper sourcing across all research outputs.
Content & Communication
- Translate complex financial concepts and market developments into clear, accessible language.
- Produce research-based content for websites, social media, newsletters, WhatsApp, presentations, marketing campaigns, and other communication channels.
- Develop thought-leadership articles and market commentary.
- Work closely with the Communications and Marketing teams to turn research insights into high-quality content.
- Proofread, edit, and fact-check research and communication material before publication.
Client & Market-Facing Communication
- Participate confidently in internal and external meetings with clients, management, and business stakeholders.
- Present market insights and research findings in meetings, seminars, conferences, webinars, and other forums.
- Represent the company professionally in video content, interviews, market updates, and digital communication.
- Communicate financial concepts in a manner that is both credible and persuasive, without compromising accuracy or responsible communication.
AI & Research Technology
- Use AI and research tools to improve research efficiency, data analysis, information gathering, and content development.
- Verify AI-generated information against credible primary and secondary sources.
- Maintain human judgment, analytical integrity, originality, and accuracy throughout the research process.
