Core Responsibilities

 

As Vice President, Capital Markets Research, you will spearhead the development and execution of high-impact research, valuation, and market insight initiatives that directly drive revenue growth, sales prospect origination, and client engagement. This role blends deep analytical expertise in capital markets and valuation with a strategic, sales-oriented mindset — identifying and tracking market opportunities, engaging with prospects and clients as needed, and sitting at the intersection of sales, marketing, research, and client advisory to deliver actionable intelligence. This is not a traditional research or sales position; it is a commercially oriented research strategist role informed by capital markets expertise.
