About our Research Associate program

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 proprietary data entry tool and research process. Once mastered, you will take on various tasks, helping your team ensure its dataset meets high quality standards while continually increasing the efficiency, productivity and quality. The focus of the role will be on secondary research, which is the collection of data publicly available from websites, news sources, and other sources.

This development approach creates a pathway for our Research Associates to grow into Senior Research Associates, Team Leads and Research Managers within a specific dataset team in the Research department, or transition to a variety of roles on other teams at PitchBook.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Ramping up to become an expert in one of PitchBook's core research areas of private equity, venture capital, M&A or Institutional Investors by researching, collecting, and entering data on private companies within a specific dataset into the PitchBook Platform

• Providing training and ramping support to newer members of the team, both on-shore and off-shore
• Collaborating cross-culturally with global teams
• Communicating effectively and efficiently with internal stakeholders in person and through email.

 Additional responsibilities will include:

• Identifying root causes of systemic data problems.
• Completing client requests to add new data or update existing data.
• Work with team to develop and improve processes, tools and methodologies.
• Collaborating on projects to identify opportunities to improve upon the core quality metrics (comprehensiveness, accuracy, timeliness)

 You may be the right fit if you have:

• A high attention to detail
• Sense of urgency and ability to focus to update a number of profiles
• Believe anything below excellent isn't good enough and expect the same from those on your team
• Strong communication skills, both verbal and in written materials for effective inter-office correspondence
