About The Role:

Nearly everyone in Research starts as a Research Associate. In this role you will join one of our dataset teams with an initial focus on mastering our data management tool and direct outreach processes. Once mastered, you will create outbound campaigns using email and/or phone calls to gather and update data on our platform.
The focus will be on primary research, which is the collection of proprietary data obtained from contacts at investment and advisory firms involved in PE and VC deals, or the companies being funded with private capital. This learning process and growth of industry knowledge creates a pathway for our Primary Research Associates to grow into Senior Research Associates and Team Leads within Research or a variety of roles on other teams at PitchBook. Note that this is not an academic-type research position and does not require a deep understanding of advanced statistical methods.

It is our job as PitchBook's Research department to build and maintain the detailed and high-quality data on the venture capital, private equity, and M&A industries that thousands of professionals across the private markets rely on to find their next big opportunity.

• Taking on projects to identify opportunities to improve upon the core quality metrics (comprehensiveness, accuracy, timeliness)
• Becoming an expert in PitchBook's core research areas of private equity, venture capital and M&A through dedicated training

Skills and Qualifications:

• Amazing communication skills, both verbal and in written materials, targeting an audience all the way up to the executive level
• A strong sense of urgency, as well as comfort making a high volume of outbound calls on a daily basis
• The belief that anything below excellent isn't good enough and expectations of the same from those on your team

• Strong organization methods and top-notch multi-tasking skills
• Incessant curiosity, innovative thinking and meticulous work habits
