Research-centric PE roles

Hi all,

I currently work in a hedge fund in a research centric role. I am interested in finding similarish roles in PE firms (i.e., strategy, market research, proprietary sourcing, etc.).

I’ve seen a few more of these roles popping up in PE firms but I’m curious if anyone has tips on how I might go about searching.

All the best.
