An Associate is a freelancer that is contracted by EiP. Example jobs include: building models, auditing models, modelling acquisitions, scenario analysis, etc. If you have any particular skills that you would like to utilise / showcase, then mention them in your application!

You will work totally flexibly in your own time, you just need to be open and honest about your capacity when accepting a project.

Once your application is approved, you'll be onboarded as an Associate. This involves signing a contract with EiP and undertaking a small amount of training on our standard operating procedures. Once you are onboard, then you'll be added to our Associate WhatsApp group. Any time a new job comes in, it will get posted in there and you can put yourself forward for any job that takes your fancy.

You'll be given an email address to liaise directly with the client, under the supervision of your manager. Your manager will be monitoring your work and be your point of contact for questions or issues.

You will be assigned a "Tier" which will dictate the pay level you sit it - this is based on your experience level. At time of writing (Dec-24) we have two tiers: Tier 1 = £100/hour, Tier 2 = £75 / hour. This will change as the number of Associates grows and the client list grows.

At the end of each month, you will invoice EiP for the hours worked. EiP will pay your invoice within 21 days. The 21 days reflects our payment terms with our clients, and therefore this timeframe is non-negotiable.

Under our contract together you may work for other businesses as long as they are neither competitors or clients of EiPs, however you must inform us of such employment and any potential conflicts of interest. As an Associate you will be given direct access to our clients and information related to their business, so it is our duty of care to make sure our clients are protected.

All IP created by you for EiP or for a client, will belong the respective entity it was created for.

During your time as an Associate, you may get access to a client's model or EiP's template models. These remain the IP of the respective party.

At the moment EiP is not looking to hire full-time, however there is opportunity to climb up the Tier ladder and receive higher renumeration.

We also regularly speak with our clients about hiring full time, so if you are interested in finding a new full-time role then let us know and we will see if we can place you somewhere.

Please note that in your contract wit EiP you have an 18 month non-compete clause (meaning you cannot start your own / move to a competing business), and an 18-month clause preventing you from working for one of our client's without prior written consent. As we want to see analysts thrive and see meaningful career progression, these clauses are there to protect us, and in reality we are unlikely to prevent you from moving client side.
