Position Description

We’re looking for a motivated Equity Analyst/Researcher to contribute to and help train a new equity research tool for retail investors. You’ll be helping to train the model by applying your expertise to identify and refine how key valuation drivers are interpreted—essentially teaching the system how to think like an analyst.

Tasks and Deliverables

• Choose 10–20 companies you already know well.
• For each name, spend roughly 3–5 hours distilling the core valuation drivers—e.g., revenue growth levers, margin expansion potential, cost structure shifts, regulatory or macro sensitivities, and upcoming catalysts.
• Deliver concise write-ups and supporting data that connect each driver to potential equity performance scenarios.
• Compensation will be hourly and based on the number of companies in which you contribute.

Required Experience

• Currently employed or within the past year employed at a top-tier equity research firm (sell-side, independent, or buy-side with formal training), with at least 1 year of experience covering companies within the Russell 2000.
• Ability to turn complex drivers into clear, actionable insights for non-research stakeholders.
• Strong written communication and the ability to work independently on a part-time schedule.
• Early career stage or currently pursuing an MBA.

Engagement Highlights

• Flexible, remote role that fits alongside an MBA or other professional work.
• Focus only on the companies you already know—no time wasted ramping up on unfamiliar names.
• Help shape a cutting-edge forecasting model that supports investor education and transparency.
• Contribute to a meaningful, large-scale project with lasting industry relevance.
