Equity Analyst - Options & Events

We are partnered with a leading trading team seeking a Fundamental Analyst to sit directly on a live desk and support risk‑taking, event‑driven decision‑making. This role blends company‑level fundamental research with options‑based and semi‑systematic trading strategies, offering meaningful proximity to P&L and real‑time market decisions.
