Mercata is looking for experienced buy-side equity analysts and portfolio managers
Mercata is looking for a few experienced buy-side equity analysts and portfolio managers for early user testing of our AI-native Research OS for hedge funds and alternative asset managers. One 30-minute session, paid for your time, with the option to do more (also paid) sessions later if it's interesting to you. NOTE: this is a short user-testing engagement, not an employment role.
The product is built around the day-to-day of fundamental equity work: notes, IC memos, and the constant triage of filings, PRs, and headlines. So we're looking for people who do that work now, or did until recently.
We'd also like to hear how you're using AI in your research today. If you're not, that's fine too, it's not a requirement.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
If you've ever wished your research tools understood your workflow, we'd love your input.
About Mercata
Mercata is an AI-native research OS for fundamental investors.
We transform the flood of fragmented financial information into a structured, time-aware intelligence graph that analysts can actually work with.
Our platform ingests and links filings, news, press releases, and alternative data across companies, people, and markets. Rather than summarizing documents, Mercata goes deep to capture context, evolution, and hidden relationships that matter in the sectors we cover.
By automating data ingestion and surfacing high-impact events, Mercata frees analysts from manual review and helps them focus on forming original, high-conviction ideas.
