Our proprietary technology analyzes billions of alternative data points to uncover actionable insights across sectors like software, AI, cloud, e-commerce, ridesharing, and payments. Our data and research teams transform raw data into strategic intelligence, delivering accurate, timely, and contextually enriched analysis for clients that include top investment funds and Fortune 500 companies.

We operate globally with offices in the US (NYC, Austin, Miami, Mountain View), APAC (Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Singapore), and India.

What It’s Like to Work at YipitData

YipitData isn’t a place for coasting—it’s a launchpad for ambitious, impact-driven professionals. From day one, you’ll take the lead on meaningful work, accelerate your growth, and gain exposure that shapes careers.

Why Top Talent Chooses YipitData
  • Ownership That Matters : You’ll lead high-impact projects with real business outcomes
  • Rapid Growth : We compress years of learning into months
  • Merit Over Titles : Trust and responsibility are earned through execution, not tenure
  • Velocity with Purpose : We move fast, support each other, and aim high—always with purpose and intention
Who Thrives Here?

We hire sprinters, not coasters—people who:

  • Choose growth over comfort
  • Lead through challenges
  • Are energized by high expectations

It’s not for everyone, and that’s intentional. If your ambition is matched by your work ethic—and you’re hungry for a place where growth, impact, and ownership are the norm—YipitData might be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

About The Role

We are expanding our research team by hiring a Head of Research to lead a team of 4 to 6 in APAC and to further develop fundamental research for our products. This is primarily a management role that may also include writing research and regularly engaging with YipitData’s client base to drive additional value beyond our research products. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with at least 7 years of experience who wants to lead the data-driven future of investment research. Backgrounds in buyside or sellside research, management consulting, or experience using data to understand business trends and solve customer problems are a good fit. This is a remote-friendly role based in Singapore.

Key Responsibilities
  • Create and communicate valuable insights from our datasets
  • SQL-driven granular analysis to derive trends from large datasets, including cohort, concentration, penetration, and competitive analyses
  • Collaborate with data and revenue teams to develop new research products and features
  • Build and maintain relationships with subscribers, the largest investors
  • Partner with Sales and Marketing to position products on client calls and webcasts
  • Directly manage the careers of Research Analysts and develop them into larger roles
You're Likely to Succeed If You Have
  • Experience in equity research or management consulting-style writing
  • A background in business analysis and a passion for data-driven fundamental investing
  • A commitment to learning new technology skills and working where coding is common
  • Bachelor’s degree or foreign equivalent in Finance, Economics, Statistics or related field
  • Fluent in English and Mandarin
