A leading institutional investment platform is seeking an experienced investment professional to help shape how investment decisions are evaluated, challenged, and implemented across a multi-asset portfolio.

This is a highly visible role sitting at the intersection of investing, portfolio construction, analytics, and manager evaluation. The successful candidate will partner closely with senior investment professionals to develop analytical frameworks, enhance decision-making processes, and provide insight across a broad range of investment strategies. The role is ideally suited to someone who combines strong investment judgment with a deep analytical mindset and enjoys solving complex portfolio construction challenges.

• Partner with CIOs, PMs, and senior investment stakeholders on portfolio construction and investment decision-making.

• Develop analytical frameworks used to assess investment opportunities, portfolio positioning, and risk-adjusted returns.

• Evaluate investment strategies across multiple asset classes and alternative investments.

• Design and enhance scalable investment analytics, research processes, and decision-support tools.

• Analyze portfolio performance, manager outcomes, alpha drivers, and portfolio exposures.

• Challenge investment assumptions through data-driven analysis and independent thinking.

• Help shape the evolution of the firm's investment analytics capabilities and research infrastructure.

Ideal Background

• Experience within portfolio construction, multi-asset investing, investment strategy, manager research, asset allocation, portfolio analytics, or investment analytics.

• Strong understanding of alpha generation, portfolio construction, diversification, and risk-adjusted returns.
