  • Maintain relationships with quantitative communities, researchers, hedge funds, and portfolio managers to discover promising and obtainable investment ideas.
  • Prepare detailed reports for senior management on external strategies and ensure evaluations align with governance and performance standards.
  • Collaborate with internal teams to integrate external strategies into the firm’s portfolio, staying informed on trends in quantitative finance and data science.

Requirements

  • Master’s degree in Quantitative Finance, Financial Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related field. A PhD is a plus.
  • 5+ years of experience in evaluating quantitative alpha ideas, managers and strategies for consideration of capital allocation.

  • Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, R, or MATLAB for quantitative analysis and modeling.
  • Familiarity with data sources, tools, and platforms used for backtesting and performance evaluation of investment strategies.

    • Benefits

  • Competitive salary, plus bonus based on individual and company performance.
  • Collaborative, casual, and friendly work environment while solving the hardest problems in the financial markets.
  • PPO Health, dental and vision insurance premiums fully covered for you and your dependents.
