Data Acquisition Analyst

As a Data Acquisition Analyst on our Data Solutions team, you'll be responsible for engaging and building relationships with Asset Managers, Consultants, and Investors to ensure that our database houses the information that eVestment clients and prospects need to make investment decisions. We believe that every data point on every investment product in our database represents an opportunity for an Investor to achieve their financial goals. We are the storefront window for the Institutional Investing community, and our Data Solutions team discovers and attracts comprehensive data from Asset Managers on all investment strategies that our clients and prospects care about.

With this position we offer

We're looking for evidence of your passion and persistence to relentlessly pursue challenging goals. In this role, you'll be responsible for identifying areas where we can expand our data, helping to focus our data collection efforts on the data most relevant to our clients. You'll spend a significant portion of your time engaging with Asset Managers via email and phone calls, incentivizing them to share more data on eVestment' s platform. You will support those same Asset Managers throughout their journey with eVestment, training them on how to use our Input portal, educating them on best practices, and following up with them to help overcome any difficulties they are facing. You'll focus closely on monitoring rates of data completion and timeliness, and work to improve overall data coverage. Additionally, you'll collaborate across eVestment groups, especially with our Client Success, Sales, Product Strategy, and Marketing groups to ensure we are continuously delivering a consistent, clear, and compelling message to our clients.

Your role and responsibilities

A certain degree of personal accountability, creativity, and latitude are required and encouraged. Your desire to build working knowledge of applicable financial terminology and industry best practices will help you be successful in this role and in our company. You embrace technology (Excel proficiency is just the beginning for you); creating pivot tables and using VLOOKUP are already a part of your skill set. We need excellence. This means your communication skills are stellar: polished, professional communication skills and detailed analytical skills are vital. We strive to innovate. This means you question the status quo and love asking, "What if?" We need teamwork. This means when a colleague asks, "Can someone help me with?" you're quick to answer "Yes." We need humility. This means you are willing to hand a hand where necessary. We need integrity. This means you deliver results with little supervision and don't hesitate to acknowledge, own, and resolve errors you've made (we all make them, we just must learn from them).

We expect you to have

• Excellent verbal and written communications skills including the ability to provide training, respond to complex inquiries, and handle difficult conversations
• Driven, with high levels of tenacity and resilience to pursue and achieve challenging goals
• Strong track record of professional and academic success, leadership, and service
• Passion for finance, investing, and data with a desire to continuously expand knowledge in these areas (e.g., through reading, courses, or certifications)
• Proactive and innovative, someone who identifies problems AND recommends possible solutions
• Exhibits servant leadership, able to set aside personal projects and priorities to support colleagues and help them be successful

It would be great if you also have

• Experience with eVestment and/or Institutional Asset Management is a plus
• Skilled with Microsoft Excel; R or Python are a plus
