Investment Data Scientist

We’re working with a tier-one hedge fund as they continue to scale their Data Science capabilities. Despite what was a challenging year for many in the markets this firm came out with double-digit gains and is continuing to scale for 2024. That was possible by hiring the best talent on the market combining that with first in class technology and resources. Compensation is some of the strongest on the street.

Role Summary

You will focus on utilizing quantitative methods to analyze various alternative and economic data sets (transaction, web traffic, clinical trial, now-cast, survey, shipping, satellite, geolocation etc.) to generate signals for investing. You will work closely with the Portfolio Manager on how your analysis could impact their universe and ultimately PnL.

It’s a given this role has technical elements but equally as important is the ability to communicate your analysis and really look to monetize that. As they look to monetize the data, creativity surrounding the data and analysis is very much encouraged. They need someone who enjoys the technical elements but also wants to combine them with the fundamentals of working close to the markets.

As a senior hire you will lead the most impactful projects, you will also play a part in mentoring some of the junior team members.
