Research Analyst

About Neudata

Neudata is the global leader in alternative and market data intelligence, helping investors, hedge funds and corporates discover, evaluate, and use data to make smarter decisions. Our independence sets us apart—we provide objective, unbiased intelligence that our clients trust and depend on.

Neudata’s research team is at the core of what we do. Clients have access to:

• Our research portal, enabling them to browse our catalogue of dataset reports, each written by a member of the research team and pertaining to a dataset (e.g. short positions data by vendor X).
• Our research team’s expertise, helping them make informed data decisions (e.g. through calls where we share our opinion on the most appropriate dataset for their needs).

The Role

Our expertise spans the vast world of alternative data, from social sentiment feeds and credit card transactions to complex ESG signals. As a Research Analyst, you will join the team dedicated to Scout, our premier platform for alternative data discovery. You will primarily interact with:

• Data buyers, by communicating our findings via research reports and calls
• Data sellers, to understand their properties and potential use cases of different datasets

Your work will center on translating complex, non-traditional datasets into actionable intelligence in a collaborative and inquisitive role that blends analytical thinking with clear, authoritative communication.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Conduct in-depth research on alternative data providers and datasets
• Write research reports on alternative datasets and industry trends
• Interact with our client base (data buyers and data sellers), primarily through research calls and emails
• Gather industry intelligence through effective relationships built on our reputation in the industry
• Exercise independent thought and critical thinking—the role highly values these qualities

What You’ll Bring

• Enthusiasm for data and understanding its impact to users in various industries, particularly the financial sector
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, enjoy relationship building, and possess an inquisitive mindset
• A desire to become an industry expert in alternative data and eagerness to discover new, under-the-radar datasets
• Knowledge of the investment management industry/alternative data market is a plus, but not required
• You do not require advanced knowledge or experience in data science—this isn’t a data science role

Our Benefits & Perks

• 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays, with an extra day for each year of service (up to 30 days), one paid volunteering day, and two paid study days per year
• Hybrid and flexible working, including working from anywhere for up to 10 working days per year
