AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/3/2025

About the Role: 

CI is looking for talented and motivated Research Associates to join our team. Research Associates track the digital platforms provided by the nation’s leading financial services firms, collaborate on written deliverables, learn to work with clients and become subject matter experts in their given industry. Successful Research Associates grow into Analysts, who lead research, present their findings and manage relationships with clients on custom consulting projects. Typical consulting engagements include competitive landscape analysis, benchmarking studies and advice for executives on customer-facing technology and related trends.


About Us:

Corporate Insight (CI) is a research and consulting firm known for providing actionable competitive intelligence on the digital customer experience. CI publishes in-depth research on online/mobile banking, investing, insurance, retirement and emerging areas like fintech and digital advice. For over 30 years, we have helped firms improve the way they serve millions of customers by offering objective feedback and advice on their customer experience. 


CI strives to deliver high-quality work daily, but we like to have fun, too. Our active social committee organizes regular team-building and recreational events. We have frequent in-office, out-of-office and hybrid events, including field days, scavenger hunts, board game tournaments, an annual MLB game, and more. 


CI provides health insurance, vision and dental insurance, and a 401(k) with a company contribution. We also provide paid time off: vacation days, sick days and personal days. 


CI is currently operating on a hybrid model at our NY office where team members will be expected to work at our Midtown Manhattan office part of the time. Unfortunately, we are not able to sponsor visas for this position and we are not e-verified for OPT extension.
