This is a strong career opportunity to join a highly regarded Resources and Energy equity research desk in Sydney. The team is part of a respected global institutional brokerage and investment platform, known for generating differentiated ideas for institutional investors. Its coverage spans ASX-listed businesses across the Resources, Materials and Energy sectors.

You will gain exposure to stock recommendations, commodity analysis, company and industry research, and engagement with a broad mix of market participants.

What you will do

You will help the research team produce daily publications and maintain the information used to support investment views. The position involves updating financial and commodity models, tracking company and market developments, managing industry databases, and assisting with the organisation of meetings across the sector.

You will also work directly with senior analysts on thematic research, company-specific projects and requests from institutional clients. In addition, you will contribute to presentations and marketing materials for fund managers, listed company management teams, and internal sales and trading colleagues.

The role includes ongoing support for the creation and maintenance of valuation models, sector datasets and coverage materials for stocks under research coverage.

The team is also looking for someone with sharp attention to detail, strong communication and relationship-building ability, commercial awareness, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to manage deadlines in a fast-moving environment.
