Job description

If you enjoy using data to answer hard questions—quickly, clearly, and with high stakes—this role is for you.

We’re hiring a number of Senior Investment Analysts into a pan-European investment business with a genuinely international analytics set-up. You’ll work close to the investment process, partnering with senior stakeholders and helping shape decisions through rigorous modelling, thoughtful assumptions, and calm, well-structured recommendations.

What you’ll work on

• Lead analysis on portfolio acquisitions and valuations
• Build, improve and challenge forecasting / scenario approaches (incl. ML where it’s useful)
• Develop robust analytical workflows in Python + SQL
• Turn complex analysis into clear narratives for investment committees and leadership
• Review outcomes from past deals to improve future decision-making (strong continuous‑improvement culture)

What tends to do well in this environment

• Strong hands‑on Python (data work + modelling, not just “data storytelling”)
• Confident SQL and comfort working with imperfect, real‑world datasets
• Experience in one or more of:
  • credit / risk / valuation
  • portfolio analytics
  • treasury / markets analytics
  • quantitative modelling / forecasting
• A communication style that’s direct, structured, and low‑ego—able to explain complexity without drama

Why you might like a role like this

• High trust, high autonomy: you’re expected to own your analysis end‑to‑end
• Serious technical work with visible impact, without unnecessary politics
• International peers and exposure across multiple European markets

Location / setup

• Oslo, Norway (hybrid)

If you’re the person people rely on when decisions need to be data‑led, but time is limited—let’s talk.
