About this role
Wallbrook, part of Anthesis Group, is looking for researchers to conduct due diligence investigations and business intelligence work across Western Europe from its London office. The role involves managing open source and human intelligence investigations—primarily pre-transactional integrity checks and bespoke client projects—then synthesizing findings into clear, analytical reports for senior stakeholders. You'll also prepare business proposals, build source networks in your areas of expertise, and eventually mentor newer team members.
The ideal candidate has 1–4 years of post-graduate experience in corporate intelligence, investigative research, or a closely related field. You'll need fluency in English and business-level proficiency in at least one European language, strong familiarity with research tools like LexisNexis and Factiva, and a solid grasp of financial and legal concepts. Beyond technical skills, the role demands excellent written and verbal communication, the ability to manage complex projects independently and collaboratively, and comfort working under pressure to tight deadlines.
This is a hybrid position based in London, suited to someone with genuine curiosity about international affairs and European business environments, who can work methodically through open source research while also developing human intelligence contacts. You should be comfortable receiving feedback and willing to adapt to the firm's house style and processes as you settle in.
