Company Research Intern

01 — The role

Why this role exists at EduRankAI

EduRankAI is developing next-generation technologies in Artificial Intelligence, Education Technology, Research, Product Engineering, and Digital Innovation. Company research builds and maintains the verified account list that our partnerships and business development work runs on. You will hold a list of five hundred or more target organisations — institutions, employers, and training providers — and keep it accurate as they merge, rename, relocate, change leadership, or close. Each record carries a firmographic profile, a decision-making structure drawn only from public or freely provided sources, and a dated evidence note behind every field. The measure of this role is not how many records you add but how few of them are wrong when a colleague relies on one in a meeting.

02 — The work

What you will own

• 01 Build and maintain a verified list of five hundred or more target organisations, each with a full firmographic profile.
• 02 Re-verify records on a rolling schedule and correct entries where an organisation has merged, renamed, relocated, or shut down.
• 03 Profile each organisation by size, structure, locations, programme or product lines, and recent public announcements.
• 04 Map decision-making structures using only publicly available or freely provided information.
• 05 Record a dated source against every field so that any record can be audited by someone else later.
• 06 Score each record for data confidence and flag those that have not been checked within the agreed window.
• 07 Prepare short pre-meeting company briefs for the partnerships and business development teams.
• 08 Follow data-protection rules strictly, and never use scraped or purchased personal contact data.
