Job Description:

A Europe-focused hedge fund with a bias towards smaller companies is looking to strengthen its investment team.

We seek humble, high-energy, and exceptionally ambitious candidates with an insatiable appetite for learning to help us identify Europe's next great businesses and companies that may face challenges in the coming years.

The ideal candidate can:

• Quickly grasp key business drivers and integrate them into models seamlessly
• Identify inflection points and catalysts that the market has not priced correctly
• Understand the difference between a good company and a good investment
• Think critically and independently, making quick decisions often with imperfect information
• Communicate proactively, clearly, and concisely
• Thrive in a fast-paced, risk-taking environment

Requirements:

• Outstanding academic record from a top university
• 1-2 years of experience in IBD, PE, HF/AM, or financial journalism. Analysts from pod shops seeking a transition into fundamental investing are encouraged to apply
• Passionate about investing and identifying profitable trade ideas. Personal or professional investing experience is required; those without it need not apply

We value diversity of thought and welcome applicants from all backgrounds. Applicants must currently have authorization to work in the UK.

Exceptional talent may have a path to a Portfolio Manager role. Only suitable candidates will be contacted.
