• Continuously refining research processes and finding smarter, more scalable ways to generate edge

What we're looking for:

• Excellent analytical skills with very strong attention to detail
• Clear, concise communicator who knows what matters and can cut through noise
• Genuine intellectual curiosity about equities
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent
• Front office or markets-adjacent experience (US equities a plus, not required)
