The D. E. Shaw group, a global investment and technology development firm, is looking for individuals with an extraordinary record of academic or professional achievement to help us recruit world-class talent in a variety of fields.

Members of our Strategic Growth department create and execute strategies to identify and attract impressive candidates for diverse positions throughout the firm. This is a dynamic, high-visibility position, offering multiple opportunities to learn about the firm’s various businesses, which range from investment trading strategies to scientific research focused on developing a supercomputer for drug discovery and design. Candidates should be critical thinkers with exceptional communication, analytical, and organizational skills. We welcome applicants from any field of study and with any level of degree (BA, BS, MS, PhD), and we have a long history of hiring successful candidates from the humanities and social sciences. Recruiting experience is not required, as we are more interested in raw ability. We offer high compensation, reasonable hours, and the chance to work with talented colleagues in an informal environment. To apply for the position of Strategic Growth Associate, send a resume and cover letter to eFinCareers-SGAssct @career.deshaw.com.
