In this role, you will contribute to monitoring, evaluating, and optimizing client performance and learn to produce meaningful insights and actionable recommendations that drive value for both individual clients and the firm at large.

Specifically, you will:

  • Build fluency in statistical methods and coding practices for performance analysis
  • Develop communication and presentation skills for internal and client-facing interactions
  • Take on increasing ownership of monitoring, analysis, and strategic recommendation processes

  • Help document client objectives and implement custom measurement processes toward each client's evolving goals

  • Collaborate with senior analysts to generate insights for internal teams and client reporting
  • Contribute to building client presentations that communicate key findings and areas for improvement
  • Stay abreast of current events, changes in the liquidity landscape, and team research to participate in team discussions around market events, microstructure developments, and algorithm design
Requirements
  • MS or PhD in a quantitative field such as Computer Science, Statistics, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related discipline
  • 2 years of experience in answering research questions supported by statistical evidence–going beyond reporting results to generating meaningful insights (this can be in a graduate program)
  • Proven programming, statistics, and data analysis skills (e.g., Python, SQL, R)
  • Strong analytical thinking and a demonstrated interest in solving complex problems
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • High attention to detail and a structured approach to tasks
  • Eagerness to learn about financial markets, electronic trading, and data-driven decision-making
