 At the heart of our company is a belief in the power of in-person collaboration.

This role is expected to be in the office 5 days a week.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 The job conditions for this position are in a standard office setting. Employees in this position use PC and phone on an on-going basis throughout the day. Limited corporate travel may be required to remote offices or other business meetings and events.

It&rsquo;s our fundamental belief that people do and create great things and that people are the cornerstone of prosperity. We believe that proactively seeking out different points of view, listening to others, learning, and reflecting on what we&rsquo;ve heard creates a sense of belonging within PitchBook and strengthens the PitchBook community.
