Sector Data Scientist - Equity

Job Description

The Company

This global investment management firm is expanding its New York office, building out a data science function structured around sector ownership. Data is not a support function here - data scientists work in direct dialogue with PMs and analysts, shaping investment decisions and questioning consensus. The firm pairs cutting-edge technology with rigorous scientific research, and its investment, technology and operations teams are aligned globally.

The Role

• Generate insights and ideas for the equity fundamental research desk through data-driven analysis.
• Collaborate across the firm to share results, feedback and tools with PMs and analysts.
• Estimate and project company and sector KPIs, test hypotheses through data analysis, build screening tools, and assess new and existing datasets for relevance and quality.
• Build a deep understanding of the fundamental models used by analysts and create data-driven variables to enhance them.
• Work with alternative data, structured and unstructured - satellite imagery, geospatial data, credit card transaction data - to assess relevance for specific sectors or stocks.
• Run data-driven studies to validate or refute hypotheses behind specific research ideas.

Your Profile

• Strong background in prediction and forecasting models, with time series analysis experience.
• Experience working with alternative data, structured and unstructured.
• Comfortable with data analysis and synthesis rather than data engineering or pipelining - ingestion and cleaning sit with a separate team.
• Strong communicator, able to translate technical concepts clearly for fundamental investment professionals.
• Confidence and conviction presenting to PMs and analysts.
• Genuine interest in fundamental investing and a specific sector.
• Creative, hypothesis-driven problem solver.
• Minimum 2-3 years’ experience.
