Experience Needed:

The Search Research Analyst will work directly with the founder to systematically map leadership and senior talent within designated organizations and markets throughout the United States. This is not a recruiter role. You will not be responsible for cold calling candidates, developing clients or determining the company's market strategy.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

1. TARGET-FIRM MAPPING

   Working from organizations selected by the founder, develop comprehensive talent maps.

2. CAREER + LEADERSHIP RESEARCH

   Develop meaningful profiles of relevant professionals.

3. ALUMNI + TALENT-MOVEMENT MAPPING

   We are interested not only in who works at a target organization today, but in the talent ecosystem surrounding it.

4. BUILD THE COMPANY'S NATIONAL LEADERSHIP INTELLIGENCE

   The company's initial national expansion will focus heavily on two interconnected sectors: HOSPITALITY DESIGN and LUXURY RESIDENTIAL DESIGN.

5. CROSS-REFERENCE EXISTING COMPANY RELATIONSHIPS

   Every person identified through research must be cross-referenced against the company's existing network.

6. CREATE EXECUTIVE-QUALITY PROFILES

   Research should result in clean, useful profiles that allow the company's founder to understand an individual quickly.

7. PREPARE FOUNDER OUTREACH BRIEFINGS

   The company's founder will personally determine and conduct important senior-level outreach.

8. SUPPORT LIVE RETAINED SEARCHES

   When the company wins an executive-search mandate, your market-mapping skills become directly applicable to live searches.

9. IDENTIFY PATTERNS + CONNECTIONS

   As the database grows, we want someone capable of noticing what the information is telling us.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

The ideal person enjoys research almost like detective work.
