Daily tasks:
  • Daily summary. Help sales create the daily summary of research with an emphasis on the broking story.

  • Website. Integration of product management processes into the website: what is current, what should be highlighted on the home page, how should email communications for sales be created.
  • Manage the genesis of large reports - what is planned at conception, bring in peer reviewers as required, discuss additional resources that could be required (surveys, new data sources)

  • Manage flow of product to avoid bottlenecks.

  • Keep an eye on EPS changes and that they have been flagged appropriately to clients where material rather than simply uploaded.

  • All notes including grey tops will be seen by the product management team before publishing as a matter of course concurrently with compliance checks, and will need fast approval.
  • Help manage the morning meeting - bringing in analysts to re-cap on important notes, to react to news as well as to speak on new publications.
  • Contribute to the creation of new thematic products tying research together - e.g. ESG via what is written across sectors, supply chain etc.
