  • Working with the rest of the research team based in New York and with GPCA’s management on the development of India- and Asia-focused research reports and content
  • Producing quantitative analysis and exhibits in Excel and PowerPoint, as well as written commentary, for use in GPCA reports and ad hoc presentations
  • Contributing to the ongoing improvement of GPCA’s data management systems and engagement with Asia-based investors

Qualifications:

  • Strategic thinking, highly organized self-starting mentality and ability to work independently
  • High level of personal and professional integrity and trustworthiness with strong work ethic
