Entry-Level Equity Research Associate (Agtech and Sustainable Food)

The Agtech and Sustainable Food team at Canaccord Genuity is seeking a dynamic Equity Research Associate. The ideal candidate is a self-motivated, intellectually curious, critical thinker who is detail-oriented and enthusiastic about Technology, Sustainability, and the markets.

This role will be based in New York or Boston with a hybrid schedule.

Overview
You will join as part of a team supporting an experienced Managing Director of AgTech and Sustainable Food Equity Research. As an associate supporting the franchise, your responsibilities will be all-encompassing. Primary responsibilities will be building/updating financial models, and industry models. An effective research associate will become self-sufficient to enable the Senior Analyst to spend more time on outward facing research and client contact. Over time, the associate will become the Senior Analyst’s trusted partner, assisting in nearly all aspects of the franchise.

Your primary responsibilities will include:

1. Modeling. The associate is responsible for fully and independently updating the financial model, cash flow and balance sheet models. Additional responsibilities include building and maintaining industry models that track various economic activities across the sector.
2. Communications.  Once you have passed the regulatory tests (Series 7, 63, 86/87), you will be expected to communicate the key aspects of our investment opinions for companies within our coverage both internally and externally.
3. Keeping the franchise running.  The associate should possess strong organization and time management skills and the ability to help prioritize key initiatives that create differentiation and long-term value for the franchise and firm overall. You will be expected to be self-motivated and self-driven.

While we operate as a team, this role requires resourcefulness and the ability to work independently while the senior analyst is travelling with clients regularly. It is encouraged to ask questions of anyone, but ultimately the equity research associate is accountable for delivering factually and logically accurate work under tight time constraints.
Desired Skills and Experience
Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree.
• Passion for stocks and the financial markets.
• Proficiency in MS Office, particularly Word, Excel, and Power Point. 
• Strong written and oral communication skills. Highly qualified candidates will be asked to provide writing samples. This job requires strong grammar/writing skills and attention to detail, with no exceptions.
• Candidate must have an exceedingly strong work ethic, be highly self-motivated, highly organized, proactive, have the ability to simultaneously manage multiple tasks, and possess a strong attention to detail. This individual will be quick on their feet, a fast learner, and highly responsive. This is a business based on pattern recognition. The ability to sift the signal from the noise is crucial.
• Superior quantitative, analytical, and writing skills. Must have the ability to communicate clearly and concisely and take pride in every aspect of the process.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Candidates that hold a relevant scientific degree or experience.
• Completion of or progress towards a CFA.
• Series 7, 63, 86, 87 will be required soon after starting the position if not already obtained.

Pay package: This role is eligible for an annual discretionary bonus, and a generous benefits package in addition to the base salary. The success of the firm, our team and your individual performance will determine the trajectory of your career and total compensation.
