We are seeking a highly intelligent, innovative and technically savvy individual to gather, maintain, and process complex data sets in over 60+ global markets, while ensuring accuracy as well as innovating new and quicker data collection processes for the team.
  • Are you innovative, driven and enjoy coming up with better ways of doing things?
  • Do you have intermediate to advanced programming skills in at least one language (SQL, VB, VBA)?
  • Do you have experience working with large data sets?
  • Do you have an engineering mentality, i.e. knack for figuring out what went wrong by taking apart and then putting back together again?
  • Do you enjoy working with complex formulas and calculations?

    If you said "yes" to all the above and you have a passion for the investment management industry, this may be the position you have been seeking.

    Positions are available at most levels and do not require previous investment management experience.

    Specifically, this position will be:
    • Gathering, understanding and maintaining financial and economic data related to the over 60+ markets traded in. Position will ensure data collected makes sense, is accurate, etc.
    • If data is inaccurate, would need to track back through the complex systematic process. Depending upon the situation, may also need to reconstruct formulas and calcuations, etc.
    • Constant improvement and streamlining of the data collection process which includes not only the processes and procedures used, but also the technology utilized.
    • Determining creative and better sources for data collection.
    • So much more...

      PLEASE NOTE: This position does "NOT" make investment decisions based on the data. This is a data collection, management and improvement position that offers an amazing opportunity to learn and advance in the industry.

      QUALIFICATIONS:
      • Minimum of a Bachelors degree with a preferable cumulative GPA at or above 3.5/4.0.

      • Highly intelligent, motivated, innovative, passion for the markets, ability to accept and give very direct constructive criticism for improvement and a keen focus on excellence are required.
