You will also work with other functions, such as our IT, Operations and Data Management teams. You will find that you are not just a cog in the machine. You can influence our team but also other functions around you.

Key Requirements:

  • Education: Master’s or higher with core exposure to econometrics, statistics, or data science
  • Experience with Python and relevant modules
  • Good scripting and programming skills
  • Good applied statistical skills, for example econometrics, regression analysis, testing, or strong understanding of distributions and probabilities
  • Pays attention to detail and is diligent
  • Understanding of markets and derivatives would be an asset but is not a prerequisite

Your profile

  • Exceptional analytics aptitude strengthened by a quantitative background from a leading university
  • Demonstrable experience working with data in the private sector or academic research
  • Understanding of or strong interest in systematic investment strategies and portfolio management
  • Experience with portfolio construction, options or fixed income is a plus
