Job description
About the Position
As a Research Associate you will be a part of the Professional Services team, working directly with policy consultants and other team members to ensure our clients receive timely information about legislative and regulatory issues that impact our clients’ businesses. We work as a team to support clients, but you are comfortable independently reviewing and reading lots of qualitative information/policy and deciding if it meets our criteria.
About the Team
Committed to helping clients achieve more through better information and analysis, the Professional Services team takes on projects that provide clients with deliverables and support that enable our clients to work smarter. Understanding the needs of clients, our team works with Business Development and Account Management to create tailored projects that complement our cutting-edge product suite. We are dynamic, hard-working, and driven individuals who thrive in a team structure where there are constant learning opportunities and room for growth.
About You
We are looking for people who want to start out their career in the policy or research space and work with an exceptional group of hard-working policy wonks. You sweat the details and are able to synthesize lots of information into the key points to deliver value to clients. You’re a team player and willing to lend a hand to get things done, comfortable working independently and asking for help when needed.
