## Role details

## Job Profile Summary

The Quantitative Portfolio Management Analyst role spans a broad spectrum of research, investment, and technical tasks. The successful candidate will work closely with a team of Portfolio Managers and other Portfolio Analysts to implement the required investment strategies. This includes validating the inputs to our models as well as the outputs from the quantitative signals used to make buy/sell decisions. The analyst will monitor portfolio risk and country/sector exposures, analyze portfolio returns, and prepare analysis for client communications. In addition to day-to-day implementation of the business’s strategies, successful candidates will have the opportunity to contribute to research projects in conjunction with the central research team.

## Responsibilities

  
- Work with Portfolio Managers to validate the inputs and outputs of our investment signals and assist with the day-to-day management of the portfolio
  
- Analyze the output of our portfolio construction process to ensure the integrity of our investment philosophy
  
- Work with large data sets and liaise with outside data vendors to identify data quality issues
  
- Design tools for evaluating portfolio implementation and performance
  
- Assist research teams with enhancing existing signals and creating new signals
  
- Conduct analysis for client communication and presentations

## Key Skills & Experience

### Core Technical

  
- Strong Python proficiency — you'll use it daily for signal research, backtesting, data processing, and prototyping
  
- Solid foundation in quantitative methods: statistics, probability, optimization, and factor modeling
  
- Hands-on experience with ML/DL (PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar) — not just coursework, but building and validating models end-to-end
  
- Practical exposure to LLMs and AI agents — whether prompt engineering, fine-tuning, or building LLM-powered research workflows

### Research & Domain

  
- Exposure to factor-based strategies, portfolio construction, or systematic alpha research — able to independently design, test, and critically evaluate signals with rigor
  
- Comfortable working with new or unstructured datasets — cleaning, exploring, and extracting value from imperfect data
  
- Ability to assist PMs with portfolio analytics — analyzing return attribution, risk decomposition, and testing portfolio construction parameters

### Nice-to-Haves

  
- Prior internship in quantitative research or systematic investing
  
- Familiarity with China equity markets (A-shares, market structure)
  
- Versatility to move between research and engineering — equally comfortable exploring a novel idea and shipping high-quality code

### Education

  
- Currently enrolled at a top-tier university in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, or a related quantitative field
