About Us
We're a boutique Wall Street firm that provides research, data, and services to institutional investors that trade international markets. We're in the process of a major digital transformation, building a platform that will become the one-stop shop for local research and custody across 100+ international markets.
We have 40 employees, with 15 in our NYC office, and the rest spread around the world.

- Audit and improve the company's benefits structure, including health plans and 401k
- Proactively identify opportunities to strengthen employee engagement and morale
- Help define and embed company values and support culture-building initiatives
- Help us recruit a few engineering hires we have planned for this year
- Act as a strategic advisor to the leadership team on all things People/HR strategy
