About the Role:
This is an exciting opportunity to apply your data and analytics skills in portfolio management and trading.

You will join a front-office team of portfolio managers and traders who will mentor you to develop your career and new skills.

You should be able to demonstrate some experience within data analysis and programming. This can be from work in the private sector or from academic research. Most importantly, you should have an academic background with a solid foundation in data analysis, statistics or econometrics.

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
  • You are interested in learning and to go beyond your current comfort zone
