We are looking for a highly resourceful OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence) Researcher to join our strategic growth team. This is not a conventional outreach role. Your primary mission is to identify, track, and establish connections with high-profile stakeholders, owners, and decision-makers within the Prop Trading and Investment industry, many of whom maintain a low digital profile.
You will act as a "Digital Private Investigator," utilizing advanced OSINT techniques to bypass traditional gatekeepers and uncover verified, direct contact information that is not available through standard databases or public directories. If you enjoy the thrill of the hunt and have a deep understanding of the financial ecosystem, this role is for you.
Responsibilities
- Strategic Intelligence: Conduct deep-dive investigations into Prop Trading firms, Hedge Funds, and Investment companies to identify the ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs) and key decision-makers.
- Advanced Prospecting: Utilize non-conventional platforms and OSINT tools (footprinting, reverse searches, social engineering, and metadata analysis) to find direct, private contact details.
- Lead Enrichment: Build and maintain an ultra-accurate database of high-value leads, ensuring every contact point is verified and current.
- Bypassing Gatekeepers: Develop creative strategies to reach "unreachable" stakeholders via alternative digital channels (Telegram, Signal, private forums, or niche professional networks).
- Market Mapping: Stay ahead of industry shifts, identifying new emerging players in the Prop Trading and Fintech space before they hit the mainstream.
Requirements
- Industry Expertise: Proven experience or understanding of the Prop Trading, Forex, or Investment/Fintech industry. You must speak the language of traders and investors.
- OSINT Mastery: Expert-level skills in OSINT tools and methodologies (e.g., Maltego, SpiderFoot, specialized Google Dorks, Whois history, or reverse social media lookups).
- The "Detective" Mindset: A natural curiosity and persistence to follow digital breadcrumbs until the target information is found.
- Technical Literacy: Ability to navigate grey-hat or non-conventional tools for data extraction while maintaining high ethical standards for the company.
- High-Level Outreach: Excellent communication skills to initiate high-stakes contact once the lead is identified.
- Experience: Previous background in Business Intelligence, Private Investigations, Executive Search, or SEO/Link Building (with a heavy focus on technical footprinting).
