The Opportunity
AI and machine learning are becoming increasingly important sources of competitive advantage within investment management. In this role, you will help drive that evolution by identifying new ways to harness data, automate research workflows and uncover investment opportunities that may not be visible through traditional fundamental analysis alone.

• Improve portfolio construction, risk management and performance monitoring through quantitative techniques.
• Help shape how AI and data science are integrated into a fundamental equity investment process.
About You
We're looking for an investment-focused quant with a genuine passion for both equity markets and emerging AI technologies.
You will possess:
• Experience spanning quantitative equity research and fundamental equity investing.
• Hands-on experience applying AI and machine learning techniques within an investment or research environment.
• Strong understanding of company analysis, earnings drivers, valuation and sector dynamics.
• Advanced Python, SQL and data analytics skills.
• Experience working with alternative datasets and large-scale investment data.
• The ability to translate complex quantitative findings into investment decisions and portfolio actions.
Why Apply?
• Front-office role with direct influence on investment decisions.
• Build and deploy AI-powered research capabilities within a leading investment platform.
• Work closely with experienced investors, analysts and portfolio managers.
• Combine fundamental research, quantitative investing and machine learning in a single role.
