Job description

We are working with a Tier 1 hedge fund that is looking to add a L/S Equity Analyst to its team in London.

The fund is looking for someone currently in M&A, with 1.5 to 3 years experience from a top-tier investment bank or elite boutique, who is keen to move into public market investing.

This would suit someone who has built a strong technical foundation in banking but is now looking for a role with more ownership, more exposure to investment thinking, and a clearer path into stock picking.

We are looking for strong analytical ability, good commercial judgement, genuine interest in markets, and the ability to think independently about businesses.

Requirements

• 1.5 to 3 years of M&A experience from a tier 1 investment bank or elite boutique
• Strong modelling, valuation, and analytical skills
• Genuine interest in equities and long/short investing
• Ability to understand businesses, sectors, and earnings drivers
• Clear communication style and confidence discussing investment ideas
• Strong work ethic, intellectual curiosity, and attention to detail

This is a strong opportunity for a high-performing individual who wants to make the move into a fundamentally driven hedge fund environment and build a career as a public markets investor.
