About the Role
The Senior Research Analyst is crucial to the overall sales process and involves identifying and directly contacting potential buyers who may be interested in purchasing our Clients' business.
We use a bespoke, state of the art system to scour industry specific data, financial information, geographical indicators etc with the aim of fulfilling our Clients' approved research strategy.
To be successful as a Research Analyst, you will be able to take an imaginative approach to each business; thinking outside the box when it comes to finding less obvious potential buyers and successfully communicating the acquisitions' advantages. Over time, you will build lasting relationships with key decision makers in major organisations across the UK and potentially around the world.
