Who You’ll Work With:

We’re seeking a New York–based Quantitative Portfolio Analyst to help our equities teams improve risk management, portfolio construction, and alpha generation. You’ll partner directly with the CIOs and portfolio managers across our equities franchises, collaborate with quantitative research analysts across disciplines, and work with our Tax-Managed Strategies team to design and implement tax-management overlays for long-only and long-short portfolios.

Candidates should have strong interpersonal skills, the ability to collaborate with people with a range of personalities, and be able to communicate results to both expert and non-expert audiences.

What You’ll Do

• Manage and monitor tax-aware portfolios; review rebalance outputs to ensure quality and intended outcomes.

• Design and prototype tax-overlay strategies and tools that capture taxable opportunities in equity portfolios.

• Examine portfolios daily for risk exposures and improvement opportunities in construction and expected return profiles.

• Build, interpret, and explain performance using custom and standard attribution methodologies.

• Develop marketing materials and partner with distribution to commercialize strategies.

• Conduct research and author white papers that demonstrate expertise in tax optimization and related topics.

What We’re Looking For

• Extensive experience in finance, data science, quantitative research, or business intelligence.

• 2–5+ years working with large, complex datasets and modern data tooling.

• Hands-on experience with portfolio construction and optimization; familiarity with portfolio management and equity execution workflows.

• Strong foundation in statistics, probability, and linear algebra.

• Demonstrated interest in applying both fundamental and quantitative approaches.

• Proficiency in data analysis using Python (e.g., pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn).

• Expert SQL skills and experience with Snowflake (or comparable columnar/cloud data warehouses).

• Fluency with visualization and reporting tools such as Power BI.

Nice to have (not required): experience with tax-lot optimization, transaction cost modeling, factor risk models (e.g., Barra/Axioma).
