Industrials Associate (3-7 Years of experience, role and title commensurate with experience)

Jon Telgener, Industrials Coverage Head and Founder of Channel Dynamics

Channel Dynamics is a fast‑growing, entrepreneurial research firm and an established leader in primary research for top institutional investors. We deliver differentiated, thoughtful, and fully compliant insights to a select group of private and public equity investors. Our analysts work closely with clients to produce high‑impact market intelligence, supported by tech‑enabled, AI‑informed tools that enhance depth, speed, and decision‑making.

Joining the Industrials team means stepping into an entrepreneurial role where you can help scale a highly successful, market‑leading research franchise. You’ll be part of a lean, top‑performing team with significant upside, meaningful responsibility, and clear long‑term career progression. This is a true apprenticeship model: you will work directly with the Industrials Sector Head, gaining hands‑on exposure to expert calls, client engagement, go‑to‑market strategy, sales, and end‑to‑end research execution.

Channel Dynamics analysts map complex and cyclical supply chains while developing deep expertise across the sectors they cover. The Industrials & Energy team covers building products, freight and transportation, machinery and equipment, materials, oil & gas, renewables, and a broad range of other cyclical industries.

On a daily basis, you will speak with private‑company executives, operators, and industry specialists to uncover KPI trends, competitive dynamics, and emerging sector themes. You’ll turn these insights into clear, actionable research that helps top institutional investors identify inflection points and high‑conviction ideas across the Industrials landscape. The team collaborates closely with leading long/short equity hedge funds, supported by tech‑enabled and AI‑assisted tools that enhance speed, depth, and analytical rigor.

In addition to report writing, you will:

• Manage relationships with existing clients and contribute to business development efforts.
• Coordinate with internal stakeholders to deliver reports on time and in alignment with sector‑wide publishing schedules.
• Participate in refining our industrial coverage process, including onboarding, compliance structure, and sector cadence.

We are seeking an ambitious, driven, and intellectually curious professional who is passionate about markets and eager to develop deep expertise across the industrial landscape. This is a hands‑on learning environment where you will work directly with senior leadership, including Industrials Sector Head Jon Telgener, in an apprenticeship‑style setting.
