Research Analyst
Research Analyst — Equities and Markets
Fact-check and improve the AI-written market recaps, earnings reads and Why It Moved explanations, and write the research a machine can’t.
This is a remote role open to candidates who live in Texas. You can work from anywhere in the state.
About the company
MarketCatalyst (https://marketcatalyst.ai) is an AI-powered stock market research terminal for traders and investors: 16 workspaces covering movers, earnings, analyst actions, macro, SEC EDGAR insider and 13F ownership, ETFs, IPOs, screeners and AI recaps, plus a per-ticker Stock Intelligence view. Its content is generated by automated AI pipelines over sourced market data. It is a research and information platform that does not offer trade signals or investment advice. We're early-stage and founder-led, with a free tier and Pro ($29) and Elite ($79) plans.
What you'll do
- Review and fact-check AI-generated daily and weekly recaps, earnings reads and Why It Moved attributions against filings, transcripts and price data before and after they go live.
- Cover the core research areas: earnings (EPS and revenue versus consensus, guidance, the reaction), analyst rating changes and price targets, insider Form 4 activity and 13F holdings, and macro releases and volatility.
- Write and maintain evidence-first explainers and guides, such as how to read a 13F, what an earnings surprise means, and how to tell routine insider grants from open-market buys.
- Build review checklists and error categories (wrong figure, wrong cause, stale data, advice-like wording) and feed them back to the data and AI teams so recurring errors get fixed at the source.
- Keep all content on the research and education side of the line: no recommendations, price calls or language that reads like a trade signal.
- Suggest new research views and data studies based on what traders and investors actually ask about.
What you bring
- 6+ years in equity research, financial journalism, investment research or a similar role where your accuracy was checked.
- Fluency with 10-K/10-Q filings, earnings releases and call transcripts, consensus estimates and analyst actions.
- Working knowledge of SEC EDGAR filings, especially Form 4 and 13F, and what they can and can't tell you.
- Clear, plain English writing for a non-professional audience, with no hype.
- The habit of checking every number against a primary source.
- Comfort working with AI-generated drafts: spotting confident-sounding errors, missing context and wrong causation.
- Understanding of the difference between financial education and investment advice.
Nice to have
- CFA charter, CFA Level I/II, or similar coursework.
- Basic SQL or Python, or advanced spreadsheet skills, to pull and check data yourself.
- Experience with macro data (CPI, payrolls, Fed decisions) and the VIX.
- Experience writing for SEO or editing at a publication with a style guide.
What we offer
- Compensation: $80,000–$120,000 per year
- Equity may be offered to the right candidate.
- Paid time off and flexible hours.
- Direct influence on the editorial standards of a product used by traders and investors.
