With a unique team of over 100 full-time research analysts & planners, Dedale leverages a network of over 10,000 market professionals to deliver on-the-ground strategic intelligence to investors and corporates, with a core focus around North America and Europe.

OUR CULTURE:

The leadership team is composed of experienced investment professionals & management consultants (ex-McKinsey, BCG Project Leaders & managers).

Our advisory board is extremely high profile, including some of the most successful investors worldwide (incl. Managing Partners of the largest PE and Growth Equity funds, and Tech unicorn entrepreneurs).

We seek to develop a dream team of outstanding investment analysts with strong academic and professional achievements and a passion for investing and technology.

YOUR OPPORTUNITY:

This role offers the opportunity to own and reshape the intellectual core of Dedale Intelligence's platform — the research and content engine that PE funds, M&A advisors, and corporate clients rely on to make multi-million euro decisions.

You will set the standard for what platform intelligence should be, launch the Corporate Cluster as a new standalone offering from scratch, and hold full P&L accountability for the platform's growth and profitability. Working hand in hand with our founders and leadership team in Paris, you will shape how Dedale's platform evolves as the category itself matures.

YOUR ROLE:

1. Intellectual Leadership

• Own the research and content engine that powers Dedale's platform — the intelligence backbone read by fund managing partners, billionaire entrepreneurs, and family office managers making multi-million euro decisions

• Build, grow and coach the team producing platform content — starting focused, scaling fast as the platform's footprint grows

• Set the intellectual and editorial bar for the entire platform — every publication, every framework, every next-gen format carries your standard

• Push the frontier of what a research platform is expected to be, originating content and intelligence angles years ahead of the category

• Lead the AI-ization of platform research — reinvent, from first principles, how intelligence gets produced at Dedale, using AI to compress cycle time and multiply output quality

1. Commercial & P&L Ownership

• Own full P&L accountability for the platform — growth, margin, and profitability are yours to drive, not report on

• Partner directly with the Growth/Exec team on renewals and expansion, acting as the platform's commercial co-owner in front of the same caliber of client the DACH team courts

• Translate signals from CS, Commercial, and client demand into a prioritized strategic roadmap — you decide what gets built and why

• Act as the voice of the client internally, ensuring the platform's content and product evolve at the pace sophisticated PE and M&A clients demand

1. Category Opener

• Launch and lead the Corporate Cluster, Dedale's dedicated offering to crack the corporate persona — own its strategy, build-out, go-to-market, and P&L, orchestrating delivery across Research, Commercial, Content, Data, and EDE

• Support the strategic development of the platform hand in hand with the founders and leadership team, building a sustainable, unique differentiation in the market

YOUR PROFILE:

• Strong foundation in top-tier management consulting (5-7+ years), followed by real in-house operating experience

• Fluent in the B2B software and tech landscape, with a builder's instinct for what makes research and intelligence genuinely valuable to sophisticated investors

• Commercially fluent — comfortable owning a P&L and speaking credibly with fund managing partners and C-suite clients, even without a "sales" title

• Builder mentality — energized by standing up something new (a team, a content line, a category) rather than maintaining what already exists

• Operates with urgency and independence — thrives without a safety net, in an environment where the mandate is broad and the guardrails are few

CHERRY ON THE CAKE:

• You like collaborating as a team and delivering your best as an individual

• You are passionate about technology, innovation, and investment

RECRUITMENT PROCESS:

• Introductory call with our Head of HR

• Pre-case with our COO & MD

• 1 Case Study with our VP

• Final on-site interview with Managing Director, CEO, and coffee chat with the team
