Research Associate (Chennai)

The RoleWorld Salon produces invitation-only digital roundtables that bring together VP and C-suite executives from companies like PVH, Gucci, Levi Strauss, and Walmart to discuss global trade, tariffs, supply chains, and geopolitical shifts. Our clients use these roundtables to build relationships with exactly the senior leaders they want to reach — through substantive conversation, not cold outreach. As our Research Associate, you’ll be at the center of how these events come together. You’ll research industries and companies to figure out who the right speakers are, study their backgrounds to craft outreach that actually gets responses, and help produce the roundtable from topic design through post-event delivery. You’ll work directly with the Head of Research and CEO to get hands-on exposure to global trade, executive networking, event production, and business development — all from day one. This is an ideal role for someone who is intellectually curious, a solid writer, and wants to build real skills fast in a high-access environment. You’ll be contacting VPs at Fortune 500 companies in your first week. We’re a small team, which means you’ll have real responsibility and direct impact from the start. What You’ll DoResearch & Intelligence
- Research industries, companies, and individual executives to identify ideal speakers for each roundtable. You’ll read trade publications, scan LinkedIn, review earnings calls, and track policy developments to understand what’s top of mind for potential panelists
- Build speaker profiles: who is this person, what’s their role, what have they spoken about before, what’s happening at their company right now, and what angle would make our invitation relevant to them?
- Map organizations to find the right contacts — the VP of Global Sourcing is a better fit than the Director of HR, and knowing the difference is half the job
- Stay current on trends in global trade, tariffs, supply chain, and related industries so you can contribute Apply on Kit Job: kitjob.in/job/4nbpjh
