Quant Researcher

Systematic Portfolio Analytics has been a core function within Man AHL for the past four years and is now expanding its mandate to cover the entirety of Man Systematic — both AHL and Numeric. This is not a new team finding its feet; it is a proven, established function with a strong track record inside AHL, now scaling up to deliver across one of the largest systematic platforms in the world.

We care more about raw ability, curiosity and drive than years of experience. The ideal candidate is someone who:

Is a genuine self-starter — comfortable defining their own problems and running with them

Has extremely high attention to detail — the kind of person who notices the thing nobody else notices

Is entrepreneurial — sees gaps and fills them, without needing to be asked

Is constantly curious about the "why" — never satisfied with a surface-level answer

Loves solving problems — and gets energy from hard, ambiguous ones

Is excited by AI and modern tooling, and proactive about integrating it into their workflow

You will:

Aggressively adopt AI and cutting-edge tooling to multiply your own output and the team's output

Work with — and make sense of — vast amounts of data across both AHL and Numeric

Develop analytics, KPIs and metrics that turn raw data into intelligence

Carry out research aimed at uncovering non-obvious insights about our strategies, signals and portfolios

Write code, build reporting mechanisms, and create tools that PMs and researchers actually use

Rapidly build a deep understanding of the systematic estate, and leverage that knowledge to generate cross-functional insights and synergies between AHL and Numeric

Partner closely with PMs, researchers, technologists and traders on both sides of the Atlantic

Strong academic record from a leading university, with a degree containing high mathematical, statistical and computing content (e.g. Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering, Economics, Physics, or Statistics)

Keen interest in financial markets

Hands-on attitude; willing to get involved with technology and projects across the firm

Intellectually robust, with a positive attitude to ambiguity and hard problems

Self-organized, able to manage time effectively across multiple competing priorities

Strong interpersonal skills; able to build close working relationships with quantitative researchers, technologists, traders and senior business people alike

Confident communicator; able to argue a point concisely and deal positively with conflicting views

Strong sense of integrity
