- Value-added investment recommendations: Analysts leverage their deep-domain expertise to develop key insights that lead to long-term investment recommendations.
- Collaboration: We believe that investing is a team sport and that the best decisions are made in small, high-trust and context teams. Research Analysts must be able to work collaboratively and effectively as part of a team.
- Effective communication (both verbal and written): Research Analysts must be able to confidently articulate and share their key insights for them to translate into value-added portfolio actions. They also must be able to effectively represent Sands Capital with clients and prospects.
- Other position responsibilities, as needed; and
- Exhibit behaviors consistent with Sands Capital's Mission, Values, and culture.
- Undergraduate degree from an accredited university;
- CFA preferred, but not required;
- A passion for growth investing;
- Outstanding analytical and strategic aptitude; highly motivated with a positive, 'can-do' attitude;
- Strong work ethic, diligence, and an ability to execute at a high level without direct supervision; and
- Open and receptive; having a growth mindset.
- Having impeccable integrity;
- Exhibiting superior client service skills (to include both internal and external clients);
- Exhibiting strong interpersonal skills;
- Demonstrating a strong work ethic in a fast-paced, professional environment;
- Operating with a high degree of initiative, self-discipline, and motivation;
- Being able to collaborate and work effectively as part of a team, while also being able to work independently with a high degree of efficiency and accuracy;
- Assuming the best of others; and
- Being motivated by a job well-done.
- The Research Analyst maintains an "ownership" mindset. Research Analysts are expected to make clear, decisive recommendations and take accountability for investment outcomes. Team members are not reporters "covering" a space.
- The Research Analyst has and maintains a long-term perspective, one of our firm's Values. Our portfolio turnover is low at ~20-25%. We make fewer, larger investment actions and make changes based on improving/deteriorating long-term investment cases rather than quarterly results.
- Finally, the Research Analyst has an entrepreneurial mentality. Our franchise has expanded, and we have ambitions for future growth. This requires team members to roll up their sleeves, pick up loose balls, and wear different hats, all of which opens the opportunity for career advancement if we execute.
