You'll join a highly collaborative team of data scientists, quantitative researchers, and investors, supported by a substantial quantitative development function responsible for building world-class research infrastructure.
The group operates with the mindset of an early-stage quant business, offering significant autonomy, access to vast amounts of data, and the opportunity to shape how alternative data is used across the investment process. This is an environment where research can have a direct impact on investment outcomes, with considerable scope for long-term growth and influence.
