Graduate Research & Consultancy Associate

We are on a mission to become the essential tool for anyone wanting to work with or understand high growth businesses. We believe that by providing high-quality data boosts innovation, helps good decision making and connects the right people together

Quick disclaimer: This is not scientific research or management consultancy, but it includes aspects of both. You’ll get to work with clients, conduct research, interpret data and create content - producing an array of important projects for our high-profile clients. 

If you’re interested in the economy/exciting UK companies and looking for a role that offers both people-facing and independent, project-based work, then this could be perfect for you.

We are building the leading provider of private company data in Europe.

Private companies represent 80% of private sector employment and over 90% of revenues across Europe. They are the backbone of our economy – creating jobs, driving innovation, and generating the tax receipts that enable government services. Yet finding, collecting, and understanding information about private companies remains a significant challenge.

We bridge this gap by providing our customers with comprehensive, up-to-date private company information. Our online platforms and API help our clients to discover, track and understand these companies. This empowers them to take informed action, whether they're offering services or funding to help companies grow, crafting supportive policies, or making better decisions through deeper understanding of the economic landscape.

We work with venture capital firms, big financial institutions, leading universities and the Government to help them find and work with companies that drive disruption and innovation across the economy.

We’re a market-leading tech company that provides data on the fastest-growing companies in the UK (think Monzo and Babylon!). Our Research and Consultancy team uses this data to provide bespoke projects for our clients, helping them to understand, work with and support these exciting businesses. 

As a ResCon Graduate Associate, you’d get to pitch for and create projects for our clients. Your publications and projects would be widely distributed and cover the most cutting-edge topics (many of which you would propose yourself!)

If you’re after variety, you’ve come to the right place. Your responsibilities would be extremely broad and could involve visiting an event in the morning, dabbling in data analysis after lunch & writing content in the afternoon. Don’t worry though, we won’t throw you in the deep end! You’ll receive thorough training on absolutely everything you need before getting stuck in.

Then, your responsibilities will include:

• Building relationships: maintaining regular contact with your clients via email, on the phone, and in-person (over many a nice lunch!) 
• Research & Data Analysis: using a combination of our platform’s extensive data and your own market research to collect and analyze data
• Content creation: writing beautiful projects that display your findings through diagrams and written content - you’ll learn how to use design software to do this!

You don’t need to have a particular degree subject/experience for this. As long as you are good with people & comfortable interpreting data - we’ll teach you the rest!

Ideally, you’ll be:

• A natural people person: you find it easy to get on with all sorts of people and like the idea of working with lots of different clients 
• Interested in the economy: you keep up to date on the latest developments already. This will be super helpful when spotting your next opportunity to run a project!
• Have deep policy knowledge: you should have a degree or relevant work experience either working in government or developing relevant policy
• Ambitious: you go above and beyond what is asked of you and are excited to develop your own projects & hit targets
• Analytical: you like working with data and can take meaning from the numbers - experience using R, Stata, SPSS or other analytical tools is essential!
• Creative: you have an eye for what looks visually appealing. This will come in handy when producing eye-catching reports & projects for our clients. 

We invest a lot in keeping our people happy and healthy! So as well as a competitive salary, you'll also get:

💰 A stake in the company: This is huge - everything you do will create value in the company that you will partly own

🩺 Healthcare: Our health cash plan will cover all of your day-to-day health and wellness needs

💝 Free therapy: Sessions with any of our hand-picked counsellors, all on us

🎓 Professional development: You drive your own development - if you want to do some training, bring it to us and we’ll foot the bill

🎉 Events: Company-wide parties and away days, drinks every Friday, regular team socials - what can we say, we enjoy each other’s company

🚅 Subsidised travel: Season ticket loans, free railcards, and a cycle to work scheme

🍪 Clubs: Whether you enjoy reading, padel, bouldering or biscuits there will be a subsidised club for you
