Scientific Portfolio is a cutting-edge web application incubated in the research ecosystem of EDHEC, one of Europe’s top business schools. Scientific Portfolio empowers institutional equity investors to analyze and validate equity allocations with unmatched precision and clarity. Its intuitive user interface coupled with sound educational content also makes it a compelling tool for consultants and asset managers looking to enhance and scale their dialogue with end investors. Since its launch in November 2024, the platform has gained strong traction across Europe and is poised for significant growth.

Our mission is to transform equity institutional investing by streamlining decision-making processes with intelligent, data-driven tools. We strive to generate useful research-backed insights that help the industry make better investment decisions and build more efficient portfolios tailored to complex needs.

6. Represent the company at industry conferences, client meetings, and thought leadership events.
7. Share market intelligence and client feedback to inform product development and commercial strategy.

What We’re Looking For

2. Strong understanding of institutional investment processes and the consultant landscape.
3. Experience selling into complex, multi-stakeholder organizations across diverse European markets.
4. Exceptional interpersonal and consultative selling skills; ability to engage senior decision-makers with credibility and insight.
