About RISI

RISI is the leading information provider for the global forest products industry. Our clients -- 95% of the world's leading forest products companies, as well as industry suppliers, financial institutions and consumer products companies -- use our market data and forecasts and analysis to make better decisions that enable their organizations to grow.

With offices in Boston, Brussels, Atlanta, San Francisco, Shanghai, Singapore and São Paulo, we have a truly international focus. We're small enough that you can see the impact of your work, but big enough to have a wealth of seasoned professionals to learn from -- many of whom are recognized as leading authorities in their fields.

We're a great mix of stability and dynamism. Our oldest product has been published for more than 100 years. On the other hand, one of our keys to success is that we use technology aggressively to fundamentally improve the value of our information to our customers.

Our size: With 150 employees, we're small enough that you can see the impact of your work, but big enough to have a wealth of people from whom to learn.

We are looking for talented, dedicated people who can help us continue to build on our long-term success while remaining entrepreneurial and responsive to our customers
