🧭About the programme

Woozle Research is offering a 6-month paid graduate programme for future investment researchers looking to fast‑track their careers. This position offers the opportunity to transition into a full‑time role upon successful completion of the programme, depending upon performance.

The Woozle Research Expert Connections Team (ECT) supports a diverse client base, including hedge funds, private equity firms, venture capital firms, consulting practices, and professional services organizations.

On the Expert Connections Team, you will:

• Be responsible for supporting client projects, including finding and onboarding experts for research projects across a range of industries and sectors.

You’ll gain hands‑on exposure to multiple methodologies, sectors, and client types including hedge funds, private equity, and consulting firms.

This is a rare opportunity to learn directly from senior investment professionals, contribute to live projects, and build a network in the investment world.

• Enjoy speaking to people and extracting insights.
• Have confidence in making outbound cold calls when needed and various other outreach methods.

• Thrive in a meritocratic, entrepreneurial culture.
• Be excited about learning how investment decisions are made.
