Research Analyst

Overview

Each year, Equilar recruits a class of talented, analytical, and motivated individuals to join our team and launch their careers at Equilar. We are now recruiting for entry-level hires to start full-time in March 2027. To be eligible, you must have completed a college degree, maintained a solid track record of success, and be driven to start your professional career. You join Equilar as an Analyst on our Research team, but as a part of our Research Rotation Program, you have the opportunity to participate in one of our career development paths in other departments at the company after your first year. This hybrid position in Redwood City, California, requires employees to be in the office four days a week.

Responsibilities

You will spend your first year on the Research team, building a foundation in executive compensation, corporate governance, and data management; technical skills such as Excel and SQL; and professional skills such as communication and career management. Your primary responsibility during this time is to build industry knowledge and collect executive compensation and corporate governance data. This involves reviewing, interpreting, and analyzing data from SEC filings. The insights you gain may also contribute to content reports, blogs, and data-driven projects to ensure the accuracy and quality of our database. We track executive compensation, board of directors compensation, equity, management, financial, and governance data.

No matter what track you're on or where you end up, all employees are expected to build strong industry knowledge, stay informed about current trends, and further develop their data management skills. After the first year, you further define and build your career via our Rotation Program and specialized training programs designed for each track.
