About the Role:
The Research team at WireScreen is the core of our operations, where data transforms into actionable insights. As a Senior Research Associate, you will collaborate with our talented engineering team to enhance WireScreen's data with critical industry intelligence, insights into the Chinese market, and relevant supply chain risk information in response to a rapidly changing global economy.
This role includes ownership of WireScreen Collections, a key differentiator and a highly valued asset for our clientele. You will be responsible for curating structured datasets of companies, individuals, and relationships by tracing ownership, subsidiaries, and affiliations across various jurisdictions. Your work will be pivotal in uncovering the risks embedded within ownership chains, investors, partners, and suppliers—such as identifying military connections or providing insights into a company’s investments in sectors like electric vehicle supply chains or the quantum industry ecosystem.
Your success in this position will allow you to develop unique insights into global supply chains and the interconnections between significant businesses, governments, and individuals that drive the global economy.
What You'll Do:
Collection Development: Design, build, and maintain curated datasets of companies, individuals, and corporate networks through hands-on investigative research.
Collection & Profile Maintenance: Regularly update and refine WireScreen Collections based on strict criteria and user feedback.
Data Pipeline & Quality: Ensure high standards in data integrity and pipeline efficiency.
