• Conduct research on asset allocation methodologies as applied to private equity, private credit, real estate, infrastructure, and hedge fund strategies
• Build and maintain tools to analyze portfolio construction trade-offs across liquidity, risk, and return objectives
• Collaborate cross-functionally with investment, risk, and technology teams to improve data infrastructure and modeling capabilities
• Present findings and recommendations clearly to Portfolio Managers and senior stakeholders

Qualifications:

• 3-6 years of relevant experience in quantitative portfolio management, asset allocation, or investment research, ideally with exposure to private markets asset classes (private equity, private credit, real estate, infrastructure, or hedge funds)
• Advanced degree (Master's or PhD) in a STEM field such as Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, Financial Engineering, or a related quantitative discipline
• Strong programming skills (Python, R, or similar) and experience building analytical models and tools
• Solid grounding in portfolio theory, asset allocation frameworks, and quantitative risk management concepts
• Experience working with multi-asset or private markets portfolios strongly preferred
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work directly and effectively with Portfolio Managers and translate quantitative work into investment-relevant insights
• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple analytical projects simultaneously
