Job Description Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., a leading investment bank, is currently seeking an equity research associate to support the award‑winning Software franchise.

Strong modeling skills is a must‑have for the job.
Prior work experience analyzing or managing financial statements or quarterly earnings reports as part of a wealth management institution, an investment bank, an accounting firm, or an accounting or finance role within a finance department is ideal.

The research associate will be part of a small team and will work in conjunction with and support the senior analyst on all aspects of developing and marketing equity research products, including research reports, models, and industry analysis.
The position demands independence, initiative, a willingness to travel to industry events, and entrepreneurship, as the associate will gain responsibility over a broad array of financial model building and updating, report writing, and other duties. Attention to detail, a strong work ethic, and ability to multi‑task are also critical.
Qualifications

Strong writing and analytical skills. Associates are responsible for writing and producing company initiations, equity research reports, and marketing presentations.
A passion for the stock market, the technology industry, and equity research. It is highly advantageous to have exposure to the financial markets and equity research, as well as an understanding of the day‑to‑day responsibilities of an equity research associate.
Strong sales and communication skills. Associates will interact with internal sales and trading and external clients. Responsiveness and professionalism is important.
Ability to work independently and initiate and accomplish projects with minimal supervision.
Self‑starters with a strong work ethic are necessary skills given the demands of working for a Wall Street firm.
Ability to organize, prioritize and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
PC skills: the position requires strong Excel skills and a fair command of Word, PowerPoint, Bloomberg, FactSet and AI technology like Copilot.
Most preferred are candidates with an MBA and/or CFA and/or BBA, or comparable graduate degree and already licensed for FINRA Registrations (SIE/7/63/86/87). However, we will also consider other strong candidates without these credentials.
