Quantitative Researcher- Cross-Asset Relative Value
Location: New York or London
Industry: Hedge Funds
Travel: Hybrid
Overview:
A well-established buy-side investment platform is looking to add a Quantitative Researcher to a desk-facing environment supporting complex, multi-asset strategies with a strong credit bias.
The role is intentionally flexible on level and suited to someone who enjoys working close to investment decision-making - translating market intuition and trade ideas into robust, scalable quantitative frameworks. The emphasis is on practical research, not academic isolation.
Responsibilities:
- Act as a quantitative partner to senior investment professionals, helping turn ideas into actionable analytics
- Enhance and evolve internal research frameworks used to analyse relative value, risk, and pricing across complex instruments
- Build reusable research components and libraries that support both discretionary and systematic approaches
- Explore new datasets, methodologies, and signals to improve trade selection and portfolio construction
- Stress-test ideas through structured analysis rather than one-off experiments
- Improve the reliability, speed, and usability of existing research workflows
- Contribute to longer-term projects focused on scaling quantitative insight across strategies
- Share findings clearly, whether through code, written summaries, or discussion with stakeholders
Experience:
- Strong programming capability in Python; additional low-level or performance-focused experience welcomed
- Background in a quantitative research, trading, or analytics role within a professional investment environment
- Advanced academic training in a numerate discipline
- Familiarity with fixed income or credit-style instruments helpful, but depth in one area valued over broad exposure
- Comfortable working with ambiguity and evolving priorities
Compensation:
Highly competitive base salary with performance-linked bonus and comprehensive benefits.
