Job Description

is a leading provider of independent investment insights in North America, Europe, Australia and Asia. The company offers an extensive line of products and services for individual investors, financial advisors, asset managers and owners, retirement plan providers and sponsors and institutional investors in the debt and private capital markets.

Morningstar was founded in 1984 by current Chairman of the Board of Directors Joe Manseuto. While working as an analyst, Joe thought it was unfair that people did not have access to the same information as financial professionals. So, he hired a few people and set up shop in his apartment with the revolutionary idea of delivering high-quality investment research to everyone. In naming his new company, Joe was inspired by the last line of Henry David Thoreau's Walden, "The sun is but a morning star." In 1999, the company received investment from SoftBank and expanded its presence internationally and went public in 2005. Morningstar also grew by acquiring and adding adjacent businesses into its product offerings, which now include Morningstar Direct, Pitchbook, Wealth Platform, Advisor Workstation, Sustainalytics, Managed Accounts, Morningstar Office, DBRS Credit Ratings, Credit Analytics and Morningstar Investor.

The company remains headquartered where it was founded in Chicago, Illinois, but now it has more than 11,000 employees globally and operates through wholly- or majority-owned subsidiaries in 32 countries. The company had 2023 revenue of $2 billion and remains publicly traded on the NASDAQ as MORN, with a market cap of more than $13 billion.

Morningstar's mission to empower investor success is what drives employees forward and shapes the organizational culture. This mission-driven, highly collaborative culture ensures employees' talents are recognized and can drive change. Across offices worldwide, the company is invested in fostering a community where voices are heard, ideas matter and contributions are rewarded.
