• Significant experience - 12 or more years - in portfolio management, portfolio analytics or a related financial-services discipline.
• Demonstrable leadership experience, with a track record of building, developing or leading high-performing teams and influencing across regions.

• Practical experience with analytical tools such as Python, R or SQL, alongside an understanding of data visualisation and data-quality management.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to explain complex investment and analytical concepts clearly to technical, business and client-facing audiences.

You’ll join a global team working at the intersection of investment advice, technology and data. Your contribution will help improve the quality, consistency and scalability of portfolio advice for clients across diverse markets.
