This team is responsible for sourcing proprietary, transaction-level credit intelligence across live and announced private equity-related transactions. Unlike traditional newsrooms, our model is data-first, capturing structured intelligence rather than producing news stories. You will play a pivotal role in expanding our real-time credit intelligence coverage. The focus is on the completeness, accuracy and speed of data capture - not editorial output. Your mission is to cultivate a trusted network of off-record sources, including lenders, investment bankers, private equity sponsors, advisors, consultants and lawyers, to uncover proprietary market intelligence. The insights you gather will be transformed into clean, machine-readable data that powers our platform and forms the backbone of our clients' origination and transaction analysis workflows. You'll speak with market participants on a background-only basis, surfacing intelligence that rarely enters the public domain. Working closely with our analysts and research teams, you'll help convert raw market insight into structured, scalable data that fuels client workflows and supports better investment decisions.
