Research Analyst, Sustainable Agriculture Industry (posted 2/24/2010)

Responsibilities:  The analyst will manage a research platform which will create distributable market research for investors in the burgeoning “sustainable agriculture” sector.   Initially, reports will be “initiating coverage”-style with broad sector overviews with detailed statistics.  Additionally, the analyst will track transactions in the sector and interface with company management teams.   Most transactions are private market transactions with limited public information available, so most company analysis is qualitative.   Industry-wide analysis, however, will be deeply analytical.  This is a unique opportunity to build out a research platform from the ground up, while utilizing the resources and brand recognition of a well-known firm in the sustainable agriculture industry.  The analyst will, eventually, be responsible for recruiting and managing a team of research analysts.

*         is a graduate of a top school
