• Private Global Investment Firm

• For those with deep business curiosity
JMES are partnering with a private global investment firm to assist them with the hire of a Research, Insights and Investment Intelligence Partner who will work closely with the existing team as they invest a pool of permanent capital, across public and private growth businesses, on behalf of a select group of investors. A newly created role, the purpose is to build a robust and forward thinking Research function that will deliver first class insights across both the existing portfolio companies and the market / key sectors more broadly, both domestically across Australia but also globally. The Research Partner will enable the investment team to go deeper and have more rigour on the companies within their portfolio, keeping the team fully across business developments and updates, immersing themselves in the industries, sectors and competitor landscapes. There will be a broad scope to the role to allow the Research Partner to really help shape and drive not only this role but also the research function more broadly in future, building a driving force within the firm to assist the investment team with their decision making.
Whilst your professional background experience may come from an array of disciplines, what is imperative is the evidence of strong business curiosity and a tenacious and front of foot approach that will see you dig deep for knowledge and insights. You will be able to manage large volumes of data and information and be able to synthesise this into workable content for the Partners. You will be deliberate in tracking investment theses and proactive in your monitoring, building your own relationships and proprietary channel checks. We expect that your professional career, likely 5-10 years’ experience, could have been gained in a variety of fields but may have been formed from some of the following; strategic / management consulting, market / data research, a commercial role within a fast growing business, but we encourage applications from a broad source.
Select international and domestic travel to attend a range of industry and business conferences will be required in the role and naturally the ability to work autonomously, be someone who can problem solve, think strategically and create and implement process frameworks. You will be an energetic and natural relationship builder who will be comfortable interacting with a diverse range of individuals and groups with a deep seated desire and passion to learn.
The Research Partner will not be required to understand the businesses financials in detail or participate in portfolio investment decisions but through the delivery of comprehensive research will be an integral partner to the investment team allowing them the capability to make better informed decisions.
