The Nudge Group is a forward-thinking organization based in South Africa, dedicated to revolutionizing the investment research industry. Our team is committed to replacing guesswork with evidence by developing a cutting-edge, fully automated research and benchmarking system for the Growth and Late-Stage venture capital market. We are seeking a Senior VC Research Analyst to join our high-performing, compact team and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of investment research.

As a Senior VC Research Analyst at The Nudge Group, you will have the opportunity to lead strategic initiatives and design high-precision research pipelines. Working closely with our founding partners, you will be responsible for developing scalable research workflows, automating methodologies, and evolving proprietary tools to deliver benchmarking frameworks and risk models for real-time portfolio analysis. Your work will not only support investment decisions but also drive the investment process itself.

We are looking for a candidate who is a structured thinker with a hacker's mindset—creative, logical, and always iterating. You should have at least 5 years of experience in financial analysis, preferably in growth/later-stage VC or private equity. A degree in Mathematics, Cybernetics, Data Science, or similar field is required, along with fluency in tools like Python, SQL, Excel; hands-on AI/LLM experience is a major asset.

This position is ideal for individuals who thrive in fast-moving, high-autonomy environments and are comfortable discussing complex analytical concepts. If you are looking to make a significant impact in the world of investment research and have a passion for building innovative solutions from the ground up, we encourage you to apply.
