* Support and contribute to the department's and a sector team's long-term initiatives, including collaboration with global colleagues, development of talent, and review of team member research.
* Always act with impartiality and an 'investors first' attitude.

Qualifications:

Intelligence, energy, motivation, and a high degree of personal integrity.
* Irrepressible curiosity, with an eagerness to dig deep and explore widely, but always with a healthy degree of skepticism.
* Creativity, with a penchant for experimenting with new ways to approach questions.
* Strong attention to detail.
* Confidence in a stock call after diligent investigation and strong reasoning, but with humility to adapt that view as new information arrives.
* Ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and succinctly.
* Comfortable drawing conclusions amid incomplete information and under tight deadlines.
* Collaborative mindset and capable of both respectfully accepting and providing constructive feedback. Willingness to consider diverse points of view.
* Bachelor's degree; CFA designation and/or MBA preferred.
* Three plus years of relevant experience either in equity research or industry.
