Research Analyst, the Desk
A research analyst for the Desk, the firm’s research team, working on issues registers and narrative risk profiles.
The Desk is the firm’s research team of nine. It prepares issues registers for clients’ boards, researches the people most likely to write about a client and what they are likely to ask, and supports the firm’s crisis and litigation work with research drawn from published and publicly available sources.
As a research analyst you will compile and maintain profiles of journalists, analysts, campaigners and commentators; track how stories develop in specialist and online media; and write short, clear briefings for partners and clients. You will work to the Desk’s rules on sources, retention and review, which are strict and which you will help to apply.
