Job Description

The Role :

Blackpeak (an ION company) is seeking multiple Associates to join our team in New York, Washington DC, or Chicago. This role will primarily assist the US offices with English-language reputational due diligence projects. We are looking for bright, inquisitive, and self-driven individuals who are looking to advance their careers in investigative research and risk consulting. You will receive extensive training and mentoring that will familiarize you with industry practices and advanced research methodologies. In addition to due diligence research, you will also be exposed to other types of research projects and will have opportunities to contribute to them in due course.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Conduct research and analysis through desktop research, database reviews and interviews
  • Produce high quality written reports
  • Under the supervision of Blackpeak’s senior management team, you will be expected to be able to carry out intensive research (both primary and secondary) and analysis of large amounts of data and then assess accuracy, reliability, and relevance
  • Work as a part of a multinational team across Blackpeak’s offices. This may include periods working with colleagues in other countries

Required Skills, Experience, and Qualifications

  • Prior internship experience in due diligence research, background check research or compliance-driven research
  • Intellectual curiosity and research tenacity; must love digging deep to answer a question, solve a puzzle, or understand a thorny problem
  • Extremely strong written and oral communication skills
  • Proven ability to manage multiple, time-sensitive projects in a deadline-driven environment
  • Discretion, good judgment, and the ability to maintain client confidentiality
  • Bachelor’s degree or higher; many educational backgrounds are potentially relevant, including journalism, English, international relations, history, communications, philosophy, pre-law, and others
  • Familiarity with basic business concepts is helpful (e.g. balance sheets, basic accounting, the functioning of capital markets, etc.)
  • Must have work authorization that does not now or in the future require sponsorship of a visa for employment authorization in the US (i.e., H1-B visa, F-1 visa (OPT), TN visa or any other non-immigrant status)
  • Preferred :

  • 1–2 Years of experience conducting due diligence, investigative research, or compliance assessments.
  • Proficiency with research databases, OSINT tools, and regulatory frameworks (e.g., FCPA, AML).
  • Advanced education (e.g., Master’s degree) in relevant fields.
  • Strong analytical and reporting skills, with the ability to distill complex information clearly.
  • Proficiency in a second language (e.g., Mandarin, Spanish, Arabic) is a plus.
  • Familiarity with financial analysis and basic business concepts.
  • Proven ability to manage deadlines in client-focused environments.
  • Salary Range :

    The estimated salary range is $65,000 - $80,000. Salary is negotiable depending on experience and skills.
