Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. ETR (Enterprise Technology Research) is an independent research firm that uses primary data to analyze enterprise technology markets for investors. The Research Analyst will design surveys, analyze market and financial data, write investor-focused research reports, and use Python, SQL, and LLM-based workflows to improve research and data-processing processes.
Responsibilities
- Stay on top of client interest and market news. Maintain a running pulse on what clients are asking for, relayed through our client-facing teams, and on what’s moving in the market and where investor attention is heading — and use both to actively shape survey design and research prioritization
- Design surveys end to end. Take a research objective, conduct desk research to get up to speed on the topic and domain, and translate it into a well-constructed questionnaire, with clear, unbiased questions and a logical structure that yields data worth analyzing
- Write for an investor audience. Combine survey results with outside context — market news, earnings and financial data, and vendor developments — to author narrative research reports that explain what is happening and why it matters to a portfolio manager or analyst making an investment decision, not just “X% of respondents said Y.”
- Build with modern tooling. Use Python, SQL, and LLM-based workflows for data processing, research synthesis, and drafting, and help the team keep improving how this work gets done
Skills
- • Financial markets / investor-facing experience. You have worked somewhere your output was consumed by, or served, investors — sell-side or buy-side research, wealth management, investment banking, portfolio or trading work, or a financial-data or research-vendor role. You understand how professional investors read research and what makes it useful to them. This matters more than anything else
- • Technology-sector knowledge, as a research subject. You can get smart fast on enterprise software, hardware, cloud, infrastructure, IT services, or semiconductors, and you understand these markets well enough to analyze and write about them for an external, investor-facing audience — not just to have used the tools internally
- • Survey design skill. You know how to write a good question, how to avoid biasing a respondent, and how to structure a questionnaire so it flows logically and produces clean, analyzable data
- • 3+ years of experience in equity research, market or industry research, financial analysis, consulting, or a similar analytical role
- • Strong analytical writing: you can move from a dataset to a clear, well-structured narrative that a professional investor finds useful
- • Programming ability. Working proficiency in Python and SQL, and comfort building and using LLM workflows for research synthesis, drafting, and data processing
- • A Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Statistics, a STEM field, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience
Benefits
- A competitive compensation package including base salary, bonus, and comprehensive benefits.
- Real ownership early: on a team our size, the surveys you design and the research you write are in front of clients and leadership immediately.
- Direct mentorship from the Analytics, Research, and Data teams: you work together day to day, and your development and advancement are part of the role’s design.
- Your work in the hands of some of the world’s most sophisticated investors, informed by the technology leaders shaping enterprise IT.
- A remote-friendly, flexible working environment with a culture that values candor, curiosity, and collegiality over facetime and politics.
