London, United Kingdom Barclay Simpson Full time

We are working with an active investment management firm offering an exciting opportunity for a Quant Equity Analyst who has a passion for Risk and Research.

This is a chance to work in a collaborative quant research environment and contribute to the development of new quantitative risk analytics and innovative investment strategies.

While experience in systematic equities is preferred, candidates with a strong quantitative background who have some knowledge of factor modelling, statistical analysis of systematic long/short equity strategies, or related areas are also encouraged to apply.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Monitor and manage risk across the firm’s investment strategies, collaborating with teams to address risk issues as they arise.
  • Assist in expanding the firm’s risk framework and enhancing the risk analytics infrastructure, including developing internal risk models and related code.
  • Conduct quantitative research on new risk management techniques, identifying opportunities for innovation in risk measurement.
  • Contribute to broader awareness of risk management practices across the organization, supporting the development of a strong risk culture.
  • Report key risk data and analysis to both internal and external stakeholders, ensuring transparency and accountability.
  • Support other members of the risk team and provide risk management insights to different departments within the firm.

Key Skills & Experience:

  • 3-5 years of experience in risk management or quantitative research, with at least 2 years focused on systematic equities (e.g., equity market neutral, high-frequency trading, or short-term strategies).
  • A deep understanding of financial markets and asset classes, especially  equities.
  • Advanced knowledge of portfolio risk modelling and risk management techniques.
  • Strong Python programming skills, or similar programming language proficiency.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex data into actionable insights for senior stakeholders.
  • A strong academic background, with a Master’s degree or equivalent in a highly mathematical subject (e.g., mathematics, physics, or quantitative finance).

This is a permanent role based in London, offering a dynamic, friendly team environment with an excellent work-life balance.
