Data Analyst — Gender Diversity Research.

  • £50,000
My client is a well-established not-for-profit driving gender diversity in a major alternative asset management sector. Founded over a decade ago, they have grown into a significant pan-European membership organisation and have spent years tracking and advocating for female representation at senior levels across the industry. Their annual research programme is central to that mission — and this role is central to that research. They are looking for a Data Analyst to join a small, high-impact research team in London. You will own the data engine behind their flagship annual gender diversity report — one of the most detailed datasets of its kind in the sector — and contribute across a growing portfolio of research projects in partnership with leading academic institutions.
  • What you'll do

    This is a hands-on, technically demanding role. The core of the job is a large-scale, pan-European demographic data exercise, run twice a year, tracking gender representation across investment roles at a substantial number of member firms across multiple European markets. You will:

    • Own data collection end-to-end, including web scraping of LinkedIn and other publicly available sources using Python (or equivalent)
    • Build and maintain reproducible data pipelines that ensure consistency and quality across research cycles
    • Merge, clean and manipulate complex, multi-source datasets to produce reliable, longitudinal outputs
    • Develop and maintain Excel-based benchmarking tools used directly by member firms
    • Project manage research delivery, coordinating with international committees, trade associations, and academic partners
    • Produce analysis and contribute to report writing, working with an external agency on final production
    • Support the wider team with data requests and presentations across the programme of work
    • Identify opportunities to improve research efficiency through automation, standardisation, and AI tools
  • What we're looking for

    Essential:

    • Proficiency in Python (or equivalent) for web scraping, data cleaning, analysis and automation — professional-grade experience, not just coursework
    • A track record of building reproducible, systematic data pipelines — not just ad hoc scripts
    • Strong data merging and manipulation skills across large, complex datasets from multiple sources
    • Advanced Excel — complex data tables, quality assurance processes, and stakeholder-facing analytical outputs
    • A genuine quality-control mindset and rigorous attention to detail with data
    • End-to-end project management experience on complex, multi-stakeholder data or research projects
    • Confident communicator, able to engage professionally with senior stakeholders, academic partners, and international committees
    • Ability to work independently and take ownership without a technical line manager
    • Genuine interest in gender diversity, DE&I, or social impact — this matters to my client

    Desirable:

    • Experience with data visualisation tools such as Power BI or Tableau
    • Exposure to AI or automation tools applied to data or research workflows
    • Background in or knowledge of alternative asset management or financial services
    • Experience with pan-European data collection or GDPR compliance in a data context
  • Why join them

    • Real impact — the data you produce informs policy conversations, is used by member firms to benchmark themselves, and directly influences how the industry thinks about gender diversity
    • Unique work — my client is one of a very small number of organisations collecting gender representation data at this level of granularity across European markets
    • Intellectual variety — beyond the flagship annual report, you will contribute to international research projects and academic collaborations
    • Technical autonomy — you will own the technical stack and have the freedom to improve and evolve how the team works
    • A high-calibre team and network — collaborating with partners at leading academic institutions and major investment firms across Europe
    • Permanent role with strong benefits including generous holiday, Christmas closure, and pension contribution
    • Hybrid working from a central London office, with genuine flexibility
  • The detail

    Location: Central London — 3 days in office per week, with flexibility

    Contract: Permanent, full-time

    Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience

    Start date: As soon as possible — my client is looking to move quickly

    Notice period: My client needs someone available by early August. Please only apply if you are on 4 weeks’ notice or less.

      Founding US GTM Lead | HR Tech.

      • $180,000
      Most sales roles give you a playbook. This one asks you to write it.
      • 🚀 Why join?

        This isn’t a “go execute someone else’s motion” role. You’ll define ICP, build pipeline from zero, close the first US logos, and lay the foundations for a revenue team. There’s a clear path to VP/Head of Revenue as the team scales. The comp reflects the ambition: $150–180K base, $250–320K OTE, equity with a 5-year exercise window.

         
      • 🏢 About the company

        Our client is a high-growth, London-founded HR Tech platform building agentic AI for the way enterprises actually work: automating workflows across HR, Finance, and Ops. They’re backed by the founders of Slack, Figma, and Shopify, have raised $20M, and already have paying customers like Lovable, Poolside, and Quantexa. Now they’re building in the US and you’d be their first commercial hire here.

         
      • 📋 The day-to-day

        You’ll own full commercial motion of their proprietary product in the US: outbound prospecting, full-cycle selling, early design-partner deals, and GTM asset creation (decks, demos, POVs). You’ll be the direct line between US customers and the product team, feeding in what the market needs. No SDR support. No pre-built pipeline. That’s the point.

        📍 San Francisco. On-site Mon–Thu. No visa sponsorship.

         
      • ✅ The ideal candidate

        You’ve closed $100K+ ARR deals with C-suite or VP buyers: ideally in HR, Finance, or Ops. You’ve been a first or founding sales hire before, and you’ve thrived. You build outbound pipeline from scratch and don’t need a warm brand to get meetings. You’re comfortable selling in a category that’s still being defined, and you can hold a credible conversation about agentic AI with technical and non-technical buyers alike.

        You actively use AI tools such as Clay, ChatGPT, and Perplexity in your daily workflow.

        This isn’t for someone who needs structure to perform. It’s for someone who finds ambiguity energising and ownership motivating.

          Senior Full Stack Developer – Civic Tech.

          • £80,000
          🌍 Senior Full Stack Developer — Civic Tech Spinout — London I'm working with a small, ambitious civic tech organisation that's spinning out to become independent. They've built a platform used by government departments, local councils and public institutions to engage citizens on the issues that matter — think climate, public health, how AI gets governed. This isn't a role for someone who wants to maintain a quiet backlog. It's for someone who wants to own something real.
          • 👩 💻 What you'll be doing

            You’ll be the most senior technical person on a close-knit team of six. You’ll own the product roadmap, shape the architecture, and help define what the platform becomes next — including leading a rearchitecting project that’s already in motion. About 3 to 3.5 days a week you’ll be writing code. The rest of the time you’ll be leading, planning, reviewing, and occasionally representing the product to clients.

            You’ll line manage one developer and work closely with researchers and delivery leads to translate client briefs into builds.

          • 🛠️ The stack

            TypeScript is your primary language — backend and frontend. The infrastructure runs on AWS serverless. The frontend is React. There’s some legacy C# in the backend which you won’t need to know — and which may get replaced over time. Strong cloud and backend skills matter most here.

          • ✅ What we're looking for

            You’re a strong TypeScript and AWS backend developer with 5+ years of full stack experience. You’ve come from a larger organisation or agency — you know what good looks like and you’re ready to bring that into a smaller, more purposeful environment. You’re comfortable being the most senior technical voice in the room, and you can talk about a product commercially as well as technically. You’ve managed or mentored developers before, even informally. And you genuinely care about the work — this is civic tech, and the mission matters.

          • 🚀 Why this one's interesting

            The organisation is transitioning to independence over the next couple of years. As that happens, the right person in this role grows naturally into a CTO position. We’re not promising that on day one — but we are looking for someone with that potential.

            📍 The practicalities

            SE1, London. Two fixed days in the office — Monday and Wednesday. Permanent. Right to work in the UK required. Up to three months notice is fine — they’ll wait for the right person.

            💬 Interested?

            Please apply.
