The Company You’ll Join: Founded in 2016 to bring rigorous research and analytics to early careers and recruiting leaders, Veris Insights has grown to serve thousands of Heads of Talent, Talent Acquisition, Talent Management, and Early Careers from over 300 Fortune 500 organizations. Our team of 80+, including researchers, consultants, PhDs, analysts, and executive service directors, work daily to help members understand, deliberate, and solve their hardest challenges.

The Team You’ll Join: You'll join our existing Entry Talent Accelerator (ETA) cohort, a high-performance program designed for ambitious individuals looking to accelerate their careers in client-facing and revenue-generating roles.

As a Business Development Analyst, you'll work directly with senior Talent Acquisition and University Recruiting leaders, using research and market insights to spark conversations, build relationships, and generate new business opportunities. Along the way, you'll develop the executive presence, advisory skills, and business acumen to prepare you for future client facing roles at Veris Insights.

This is a full time opportunity beginning in January or February 2027.

What You'll Do: This is an outbound business development role built around frequent communication, strategic prospecting, and measurable results. You'll spend a significant portion of your day reaching out to senior leaders by phone, email, and LinkedIn, using timely research and thoughtful messaging to start conversations and generate interest in our work.

The strongest analysts learn to identify promising opportunities, experiment with messaging, interpret performance data, and continuously improve their approach. They take ownership of their results, using data, coaching, and collaboration to get better.

How You’ll Grow: The ETA Program is a structured, 12-18 month development program that combines hands on experience with dedicated mentorship, regular coaching, and exposure to senior leadership. You'll build your skills through real conversations, practice, feedback, and increasing ownership of your work.

Through the program, you will develop:

Public Speaking & Executive Presence: Build confidence and fluency in high-pressure communication environments through coaching, repetition, and real-time feedback.

Consultative Advisory Skills: Learn how to identify executive priorities, build credibility quickly, and guide strategic conversations with senior leaders.

Negotiation & Influence: Develop the ability to navigate high-stakes conversations with confidence, professionalism, and strong interpersonal judgement.

Data Interpretation & Insight Delivery: Learn how to quickly interpret research and data to support real-time, insight-driven advisory conversations.

You'll also collaborate with your cohort on growth initiatives, with opportunities to present your ideas and recommendations to senior leadership. Progression through the program is based on individual performance against defined milestones, with future placement determined by business needs at the time.

Incisiveness. You quickly identify priorities, connect ideas, and thoughtfully diagnose challenges.

Executive Presence. You communicate with confidence, professionalism, warmth, and credibility across a wide range of audiences.

Results Orientation. You are motivated by performance, growth, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Please keep in mind: Research has shown that candidates from underrepresented backgrounds only apply to jobs when they meet 100% of the requirements vs. their majority counterparts, which apply at a much higher rate if they meet 50-60% of the requirements. So, with that being said, if you are interested in the role, we would love to hear how you can leverage your talents to be an awesome culture add.

Our Values & Culture, In Brief: Talent is in our DNA. It is what we study, who we serve, and the quality we most pride ourselves on internally. In order for our team members to be at their best, we provide individualized benefits and support. We believe a well-rounded and diverse team is the key to our success. To provide the widest range of experiences and perspectives in our member service and internal culture, we never discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, or marital, veteran, or disability status. Please let our recruiter know if there are any accommodations we can provide for you to ensure an equitable and comfortable recruitment process.

We highly value diversity, equity, and inclusion, and this shows up in everything we do. Our research has a significant focus on the experiences of candidates from diverse backgrounds. Internally, we have Employee Resource Groups for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ employees, and Affinity Groups to support women and neurodiversity. Furthermore, we’ve established a Diversity Council to promote a workplace environment that is safe, respectful, and inclusive for all and acts as an active partner to People Ops and Leadership in service of our broader firm-wide DEI goals.
