Job Description

G-Research is Europe’s leading quantitative finance research firm. We hire the brightest minds in the world to tackle some of the biggest questions in finance. We pair this expertise with machine learning, big data, and some of the most advanced technology available to predict movements in financial markets.

The role

Typically, G-Research hires PhD-level mathematicians and gives them access to extensive data and an advanced platform to enable them to predict movements in financial markets.

But we are looking to change things up. We are hiring an experienced Quantitative Analyst with strong knowledge of financial markets and solid understanding of data interrogation and the mathematical principles underpinning this.

Using your financial knowledge and analytical skills, you will help to build mathematical models of price movements based on a broad array of data inputs.

Who are we looking for?

We are seeking individuals with a passion for, and keen interest in, financial markets. The ideal candidate will have solid quantitative and computing skills, backed up by a strong background in fundamental equity research.

For example, this might be someone already working in the discretionary space who enjoys the mathematical and data side of things, and is interested in making the step across into the quantitative world.

In particular, we want to hear from highly motivated candidates with the following skills and experience:

• Knowledge of financial markets from a strong career background in fundamental equity research
• Some coding ability or the motivation to rapidly learn
• Solid maths background
• Happy to take a role as an entry-level Quantitative Researcher and learn the ropes: this won't necessarily be a sideways move, but the long-term upside is significant

Why should you apply?

• Highly competitive compensation plus annual discretionary bonus
• Lunch provided (via Just Eat for Business) and dedicated barista bar
• 30 days’ annual leave
• 9% contributory pension scheme
• Informal dress code and excellent work/life balance
• Comprehensive healthcare and life assurance
• Cycle-to-work scheme
• Monthly company events

G-Research is committed to cultivating and preserving an inclusive work environment. We are an ideas-driven business and we place great value on diversity of experience and opinions.
