    Quantitative Researcher- Cross-Asset Relative Value

    Location: New York or London
    Industry: Hedge Funds
    Travel: Hybrid

    Overview:

    A well-established buy-side investment platform is looking to add a Quantitative Researcher to a desk-facing environment supporting complex, multi-asset strategies with a strong credit bias.

    The role is intentionally flexible on level and suited to someone who enjoys working close to investment decision-making - translating market intuition and trade ideas into robust, scalable quantitative frameworks. The emphasis is on practical research, not academic isolation.

    Responsibilities:

    • Act as a quantitative partner to senior investment professionals, helping turn ideas into actionable analytics
    • Enhance and evolve internal research frameworks used to analyse relative value, risk, and pricing across complex instruments
    • Build reusable research components and libraries that support both discretionary and systematic approaches
    • Explore new datasets, methodologies, and signals to improve trade selection and portfolio construction
    • Stress-test ideas through structured analysis rather than one-off experiments
    • Improve the reliability, speed, and usability of existing research workflows
    • Contribute to longer-term projects focused on scaling quantitative insight across strategies
    • Share findings clearly, whether through code, written summaries, or discussion with stakeholders

    Experience:

    • Strong programming capability in Python; additional low-level or performance-focused experience welcomed
    • Background in a quantitative research, trading, or analytics role within a professional investment environment
    • Advanced academic training in a numerate discipline
    • Familiarity with fixed income or credit-style instruments helpful, but depth in one area valued over broad exposure
    • Comfortable working with ambiguity and evolving priorities

    Compensation:

    Highly competitive base salary with performance-linked bonus and comprehensive benefits.

    McGregor Boyall is an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate on any grounds.
