We are seeking entry-level Research Associates to support Corporate Governance, Quantitative and Executive Compensation research teams covering publicly listed U.S. and Canadian companies. You will review company disclosures, collect and verify data, and contribute to analysis of the board of directors, executive pay and their respective alignment with company performance and shareholder interests.

This posting covers opportunities for all three teams, with responsibilities depending on your team assignment. Comprehensive paid training is provided, and prior experience in corporate governance or executive compensation is not required. The role offers practical experience for candidates interested in research, finance, business, law, corporate governance or investor stewardship.

This is a temporary, full-time hybrid position running from February 8, 2027 through early to mid-June 2027, requiring regular in-office attendance (3 days per week; up to five during training weeks) at our downtown Toronto office.

Quantitative Research: The Quantitative Research team provides the data and analysis that support assessments of executive pay relative to financial performance and shareholder returns. Associates collect, clean and verify compensation and financial data, use proprietary models and Microsoft Excel, investigate inconsistencies, and prepare preliminary pay-for-performance assessments under analyst supervision.

Executive Compensation: The Executive Compensation team evaluates executive pay levels, incentive program design, performance conditions and the quality of company disclosures. Associates research compensation practices, draft preliminary analysis and help develop voting recommendations on say-on-pay and compensation-related proposals under analyst supervision, applying Glass Lewis guidelines to each company’s circumstances.

Job Responsibilities

  • Review proxy statements, annual reports, and other public filings to identify and interpret relevant data and financial information.
  • Collect, enter and verify data using proprietary research tools and, where applicable, Microsoft Excel; flag inconsistencies and questions for review.

  • Review peers’ data and written work as assigned and incorporate feedback to improve accuracy and clarity.
  • Track assignments and communicate with colleagues in Manila, North America, and other offices to meet research deadlines.

Job Requirements

  • A bachelor’s degree.
  • Strong analytical and research skills, with the ability to interpret complex information and explain conclusions clearly.
  • Fluency in spoken and written English, including strong writing and editing skills.
  • Computer proficiency and comfort with basic math and numerical data. Strong Microsoft Excel proficiency is required for Quantitative Research assignments.
  • Careful attention to detail and the ability to process information accurately and efficiently.
  • Effective time management, organization and communication skills in both in-person and remote settings.
  • Willingness to learn, apply feedback, adapt to changing priorities and meet overlapping deadlines.
