About Citrini Research

Citrini Research publishes independent, thematic investment research for a sophisticated audience of investors. We focus on identifying emerging trends, structural shifts, and under-appreciated opportunities across global markets, and we aim to explain them in a clear, differentiated, and actionable way. We’re a small, high-output team where analysts have real ownership and their work reaches readers directly.

Position Overview

We’re looking for a Research Analyst to help generate, develop, and publish original investment ideas. You’ll work across sectors and themes, from first-pass idea generation to deep-dive reports, supporting the full research process. This is a generalist role with room to specialize as you find your edge. Fresh graduates are welcomed to apply!

Responsibilities

• Develop and pressure-test investment theses across equities and thematic baskets, spanning sectors and geographies
• Conduct deep-dive research on companies, industries, and supply chains, including competitive positioning, unit economics, and catalysts
• Build and maintain financial models, comps, and valuation frameworks
• Monitor markets, earnings, filings, and news to surface timely ideas and update existing views
• Source and synthesize information from primary sources (filings, transcripts, industry data, expert conversations) and alternative data
• Draft written research for publication, including reports, updates, and shorter-form commentary, in a clear and engaging style
• Create charts, tables, and supporting visuals that make complex ideas easy to grasp
• Track the performance of published ideas and contribute to post-mortems on what worked and what didn’t
• Support subscriber-facing work as needed, such as Q&A, webinars, and presentations

Qualifications

• Experience in equity research, investment banking, hedge fund/asset management, consulting, or a comparable analytical role
• Strong financial modeling and valuation skills
• Excellent written communication, with the ability to turn dense analysis into compelling prose
• Demonstrated interest in markets, ideally evidenced by a track record, portfolio, writing, or independent research
• Intellectual curiosity and comfort moving quickly across unfamiliar industries
• Self-directed, detail-oriented, and comfortable owning projects end to end
• Fresh grads are welcomed to apply

Preferred Skills

• Experience with thematic, macro, or long/short investing
• Familiarity with technology, semiconductors, energy, industrials, or other secular-growth areas
• Proficiency with data tools (Excel, Python/SQL, Bloomberg, FactSet, or similar)
• Existing public writing, such as a Substack, blog, or social following, on markets or investing

Growth Areas

• Develop deep expertise in a sector or theme of your choosing and become a recognized voice in it
• Build your byline and reputation with a broad, engaged investor audience
• Progress from supporting research to leading your own thesis development and flagship reports
• Sharpen your process through performance tracking, post-mortems, and close work with senior team members
• Expand into subscriber engagement, product development, and mentoring junior analysts as the team grows
