See who PDT Partners has hired for this role
PDT Partners – a quantitative investment manager – is seeking an intellectually curious, independent, collaborative professional interested in learning about and contributing to a world-class, quantitative trading business to be part of its Procurement Team. This position has firm-wide impact and provides an opportunity to interact with various internal stakeholders and external vendors.
The Procurement team oversees our software, technology, data, and service provider purchases, and ultimately helps PDT manage risk and contribute to the company’s bottom line. This is a broadly visible team in the way that we manage supplier relationships, oversee contractual negotiations, and own purchasing processes.
We’re looking for a Procurement Analyst to join our team. This person will own vendor engagement and work closely with technology and research teams to ensure timely, accurate, and cost-effective item procurement. Success in this role will be defined by ensuring PDT’s systems accurately reflect the procurement transactions we conduct and owning the support of asset management practices. The Procurement Analyst will be highly-motivated, detail-oriented, and customer-focused, and will have a general interest in procurement and financial services.
Why join us? PDT Partners has a stellar 30+ year track-record and a reputation for excellence. Our goal is to be the best quantitative investment manager in the world—measured by the quality of our products, not their size. PDT’s very high employee-retention rate speaks for itself. Our people are intellectually exceptional, and our community is close-knit, down-to-earth, and diverse.

- Support asset management efforts and related inventory activities
- Identify opportunities to improve our operational efficiency and effectiveness
- Lead projects to improve our operations
- Develop and manage relationships with strategic vendors in conjunction with PDT colleagues
