• Deliver rigorous, insight-driven analysis to Portfolio Managers, helping to inform investment decisions and portfolio strategy. This includes identifying what is changing, why it matters, and what actions may be required.
• Proactively identify risks, gaps, and process improvement opportunities—especially in response to evolving markets, new information, or observed operational friction. You will recommend practical enhancements to strengthen decision-making, controls, and repeatability.

• Ability to work independently while also collaborating closely within a team-based investment environment.
• Self-starter attitude with intellectual curiosity, sound judgment, and a strong willingness to learn.

Preferred qualifications, skills and capabilities:
