Publications:

• Present insights and strategies to UHNW clients, internal stakeholders, and industry forums.

Collaborative Innovation:

• Partner with global teams across asset classes to develop innovative investment frameworks and strategies.
• Develop new products and client offerings, leveraging market trends and predictive analytics.

Requirements

Technical Skills and Experience:

• Experience in an investment strategist, macro research, or portfolio management role.
• Expertise in directional macro strategies.
• Advanced programming skills in Python and R for financial modelling, back-testing, and data visualization.

Academic and Professional Credentials:

• MSc in Finance, Economics, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field (e.g., Financial Engineering).
• Professional certifications such as CFA or CQF are advantageous.

Soft Skills:

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate quantitative insights into clear strategies for clients and internal stakeholders.
• Evidence of thought leadership through industry publications or presentations.

• Global Influence:Work at the forefront of investment strategy for one of the world’s leading private banks.
