Job Description

[ **![](https://imgur.com/q6q97PE.jpg)**](https://www.ft.com/ft1000-2022)

**Salary: £22.5k + benefits -- Start Date: ASAP or in the summer**

Have you ever wondered how some of the most ambitious and successful companies
in the UK (think Deliveroo & Monzo) grow so rapidly? We’re looking for bright
and inquisitive people to help us shine a light on these companies.

This entry level role is perfect for anyone who loves learning new things and
often finds themselves falling into online rabbit holes (fans of “The
Wikipedia Game”, we’re looking for you). Come & join our close-knit team
(check out our **** Glassdoor to see just how great our culture is) and help
us with our deep dive into online research!

If this sounds right up your street then read on...

👋 **About us**

We’re a market leading tech company that provides data on the fastest growing
companies in the UK. ​​We’re at a pretty exciting stage right now—we’ve built
a profitable, high-growth business, with 120+ employees and an enviable client
list. But we’re not done yet. We’re on a mission to become a global data
company that helps every organisation discover and work better with ambitious,
high-growth companies.

**🥖 The Role**

Our Data team is vital in ensuring our data is of excellent quality. Our aim
is to track companies that we don’t track (but should), add even more data
points on these companies & a whole range of other important projects. To keep
up with all of this growth, we need more lovely faces to join our Data team.

Day to day, your responsibilities will be to:

**🔎 Fact find & research: **go on a mission to find what services these
companies provide, the products they sell, and who their clients are using
company websites, press releases and the public record

**🖋️ Writing:** turn this research into succinct & snappy company descriptions
that help our clients understand them and help them grow into the next big
thing.

**📂 Classify:** put these companies into the right “box” by working out which
of our 500 proprietary sectors they operate in (including AI, Augmented
reality, Fintech, 3D printing & much more!)

**💭 Problem solve:** apply an inquisitive eye & our in-house methodology to
figure out, for example: what stage do you think a company is at? Do you fully
trust the accuracy of its filings or do you need to correct a probable
mistake? Based on the limited information you have, does a deal look more like
an investment or a buyout?

**Don’t worry!** We don’t expect you to be an expert on day one. You’ll
receive about two-months of thorough training, helping you to understand,
create and refine company data.

While the role doesn’t involve dataset manipulation, cleaning or analysis,
you’ll get to learn loads about the most innovative start-ups, top performing
established companies and the ecosystem that supports such an integral part of
the UK’s economy. The data you create will be used by government bodies,
investors and anyone interested in helping the most ambitious companies grow,
recruit and innovate.
