  • Produce risk analytics and reporting while contributing to the development of broader portfolio and manager coverage over time.
  • Collaborate directly with investment professionals and senior stakeholders on risk-related initiatives.
Requirements

  • Prior experience covering Equity Long/Short strategies within a hedge fund, asset manager, multi-manager platform, or similar buy-side environment.
