About us
We’re a market leading tech company that provides data on the fastest growing companies in the UK, and now Germany! We’re at a pretty exciting stage right now—we’ve built a profitable, high-growth business, with 120+ employees and an enviable client list. But we’re not done yet. We’re on a mission to become a global data company that helps every organisation discover and work better with ambitious, high-growth companies.

Our Data team is vital in ensuring our data is of excellent quality. Our aim is to investigate companies and their activities, continually adding a wide range of data points, whilst working on a whole range of other important projects. To keep up with all of this growth, we need more lovely faces to join our Data team.
Day to day, your responsibilities will be to:
Fact find & research: go on a mission to find what services these companies provide, the products they sell, and who their clients are using company websites, press releases and the public record
️ Writing: turn this research into succinct & snappy company descriptions that help our clients understand them and help them grow into the next big thing.
Classify: put these companies into the right “box” by working out which of our 500 proprietary sectors they operate in (including AI, Augmented reality, Fintech, 3D printing & much more!)
Problem solve: apply an inquisitive eye & our in-house methodology to figure out, for example: What stage do you think a company is at? Do you fully trust the accuracy of its filings or do you need to correct a probable mistake? Based on the limited information you have, does a deal look more like an investment or a buyout?
Don’t worry! We don’t expect you to be an expert on day one. You’ll receive about two months of thorough training, helping you to understand, create, and refine company data.
While the role doesn’t involve dataset manipulation, cleaning, or analysis, you’ll get to learn loads about the most innovative start-ups, top performing established companies and the ecosystem that supports such an integral part of the economy in the UK and beyond. The data you create will be used by government bodies, investors and anyone interested in helping the most ambitious companies grow, recruit and innovate.
