Our client is a globally recognised provider of institutional investment research, serving many of the world's leading asset managers, hedge funds, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and investment consultants. They are seeking to hire a senior European (or global ex-US) Equity Strategist to play a leading role in the continued growth of their equity research franchise. This role would be particularly well suited to someone who has considered building an independent research business, but would prefer to leverage an established global platform, best‑in‑class infrastructure, and a deeply embedded institutional client network in order to maximise scale and accelerate growth. This is a highly visible opportunity for an established market voice with a recognised profile among institutional investors. The successful candidate will be expected not only to deliver differentiated market insights, but also to deepen client engagement, attract new subscribers, and contribute directly to the commercial growth of the business.
The firm is particularly interested in individuals who have developed a meaningful following within the institutional investment community and who are viewed as a trusted advisor by portfolio managers, CIOs, strategists, and asset allocators. Someone whose relationships are not conditional on the firms they have been at historically.

- Strong reputation for original thinking and differentiated market views.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to translate complex market developments into actionable investment insights.
- Commercial mindset and desire to play a meaningful role in growing a research franchise.
- Evidence that institutional investors actively seek out your research, market views, and client interactions, rather than engagement being driven solely by your employer's brand.

- Founder or senior contributor within a specialist research business.
