About The Role
We are looking for a dynamic, detail-oriented team player to join FAIRR as an analyst within our Research and Data (R&D) team. In this role, you will be driving company-level research across our Protein Producer Index (PPI) and Seafood Index (SI). Our data-driven benchmarks help market participants to understand how companies are positioned to manage the risks and opportunities that lie within global food systems. As well as owning a portfolio of companies, you will also be collaborating with FAIRR subject matter experts to develop sector and thematic research insights and feed into the product development cycle for our benchmarks.
Key Responsibilities
- ESG Data Analysis: Collect, analyse and score publicly available data and build a view on how companies manage material ESG risks and opportunities. Apply FAIRR's methodology with accuracy and consistency, ensuring adherence to internal quality standards.
- Identification of ESG Risks, Opportunities and Trends: Translate raw data into actionable insights at the company level, highlighting emerging risks, opportunities, trends and progress relevant to food system sustainability. You can draft structured outputs in different formats: summaries, data-driven reports, and briefing notes that are robust and well-evidenced.
- Company Dialogue: Lead constructive and informative conversations with companies during the research cycle, providing clear guidance to them on process, timelines, methodology and findings to support transparency and dialogue.
- Company Monitoring: Continuously monitor your portfolio of companies outside research cycles, tracking strategic changes, new initiatives, emerging risks, and controversies.
- Stakeholder Support: Act as a key point of contact for investor members, the media and other external stakeholders seeking deeper insights into company scores and benchmark assessments.
- Expertise Development: Continually deepen your subject-matter expertise in global food systems and/or specific areas of our research methodologies.
- Continuous Improvement: Working on the frontline of our research, you will act as a key source of feedback on how our methodologies, products, processes and technological systems can be evolved over time to better meet market needs.
- Cross-Team Collaboration: Work closely with colleagues across FAIRR teams (including Outreach, Products & Analytics and Communications) on an ad hoc and project-based basis. This may include responding to research requests, supporting the preparation of investor and corporate engagement, contributing analytical input to briefings and documents, and supporting cross-functional initiatives.
