ETR is seeking a Research Analyst for its Analytics team to design surveys, analyze data, and produce narrative research on enterprise technology markets. The role also involves incorporating client and market feedback and using Python, SQL, and LLM-based workflows to improve research and data-processing efficiency.

Responsibilities

• Design surveys end to end. Take a research objective, conduct desk research to get up to speed on the topic and domain, and translate it into a well-constructed questionnaire, with clear, unbiased questions and a logical structure that yields data worth analyzing
• Turn data into insight. Combine survey results with outside context, including market news, earnings and financial data, and vendor developments, to author narrative research reports that explain what is happening and why it matters, not just "X% of respondents said Y."
• Let the market steer the research. Incorporate client feedback, relayed through our client-facing teams, into survey design and research prioritization, and maintain a running sense of what investors and the market care about right now
• Build with modern tooling. Use Python, SQL, and LLM-based workflows for data processing, research synthesis, and drafting, and help the team keep improving how this work gets done

Skills

• Enterprise technology domain knowledge. You understand the space, the vendors, and the trends across software, hardware, cloud, infrastructure, IT services, and semis, and you can get smart fast on a sub-sector you have not covered before. This matters more than anything else
• Survey design skill. You know how to write a good question, how to avoid biasing a respondent, and how to structure a questionnaire so it flows logically and produces clean, analyzable data
• Programming ability. Working proficiency in Python and SQL, and comfort building and using LLM workflows for research synthesis, drafting, and data processing
• 3+ years of experience in market or industry research, equity research, data analysis, consulting, or a similar analytical role
• Strong analytical writing: you can move from a dataset to a clear, well-structured narrative that a professional investor finds useful
• A Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Statistics, a STEM field, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience
• Familiarity with how investors consume research, or experience serving financial services clients, is a plus

Benefits

• A competitive compensation package including comprehensive benefits
• The opportunity for a bonus
• Real ownership early: on a team our size, the surveys you design and the research you write are in front of clients and leadership immediately.
• Direct mentorship from the Analytics, Research, and Data teams
• Your development and advancement are part of the role’s design
• A remote-friendly, flexible working environment
• A culture that values candor, curiosity, and collegiality over facetime and politics
