About The Position

We’re expanding our Public Investor team by welcoming an Associate Director, Head of Financial Services Sector to shape and nurture the continued development of our fundamental research across our subscription-based data products. This is a meaningful opportunity for someone with 7+ years of experience who’s eager to help guide the future of data-informed investment research, combining strategic insight, product growth, and team mentorship.
You might be a great fit if you’ve worked with or built investor-facing equity research assets and bring experience in data product development, collaborative go-to-market planning, team leadership, and business ownership. Experience in Financial Services is highly valued. If you’re motivated by collaboration, curiosity, and the opportunity to translate complex data into insights that create real impact, we’d love to connect.
This role is remote-friendly and can be based in NYC, one of our hubs (Austin, Miami, Mountain View), or anywhere in the US. We offer NYC-based salaries for all US roles, regardless of location.
