Associate Director: Multi-Asset Quantamental Product Specialist

Leverton Search is partnering with a leading global asset manager to appoint a Senior Associate within its Systematic Investment team. The business has grown significantly in recent years and continues to build a strong pipeline of new opportunities, making this an excellent time to join a team with real momentum.

This is a team that enjoys proving systematic investing is anything but a black box. Its portfolios blend fundamental research with quantitative portfolio construction, and much of the work is built around the specific needs of clients. This role sits closest to fixed income, where client demand has been growing quickly and there is a real story to tell.

Key Responsibilities

1. Explaining how the fixed income portfolios work, and why they are positioned the way they are, to clients, consultants and prospects.
2. Turning a technical, quantitative process into a commercial story that clients and sales teams can get behind.
3. Helping the internal salesforce understand and confidently position systematic fixed income.
4. Supporting pitches, fund reviews, due diligence and RFPs, and keeping client materials sharp and relevant.
5. Writing thought pieces that show what the systematic approach can deliver.
6. Working with Multi Asset, Solutions and ETF colleagues to find new ways systematic capabilities can support their clients.

About You

The successful candidate will have a good understanding of fixed income and systematic/quantitative investment processes as well as portfolio construction and risk models. Key to the role is a desire to be client facing and a commercial attitude.

There is no single route into this role. You might already be an investment or product specialist, or you might be working in a quant, risk or research team and ready to move closer to clients. What matters most is technical depth combined with the confidence to share it.

Due to the increased number of applications for this role, we may only respond to candidates whose experience most closely matches the criteria.

At Leverton Search, we prioritise equity throughout the recruitment process. We are committed to ensuring fairness and equal opportunities for all applicants. If there is anything we can do to make the process more accessible to you, please let us know.
