This is a rare opportunity to step into a true "front-office quant advisor" seat at a leading multi-manager platform, working side-by-side with Portfolio Managers to shape how capital is deployed and performance is generated.

You will directly influence portfolio construction, risk-taking, and P&L outcomes across fundamental equity long/short strategies.

• Deliver clear insight into performance drivers, risk exposures, and portfolio behavior
• Conduct attribution and factor analysis to improve understanding of returns
• Advise on positioning, capital allocation, and risk management decisions
• Develop and apply quantitative tools supporting portfolio analytics and construction
• Identify and implement best practices across teams
• Communicate findings effectively to PMs and senior stakeholders
• Collaborate with risk, data, and engineering teams to enhance analytics capabilities

Key Qualifications

• Minimum 6+ years of relevant experience in equity long/short or alternative strategies
• Deep understanding of portfolio construction, risk, and performance attribution
• Experience working directly with Portfolio Managers or in a front-office environment
• Strong factor models and P&L analysis skills
• Advanced Python (pandas, numpy, research workflows)
• Experience with SQL and large datasets
• Exposure to analytics tools, dashboards, or data infrastructure is a plus
• Ability to translate quantitative work into practical investment insight
• Comfortable influencing experienced PMs and investment teams
