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.
