✔ Evaluating sustainability data, developing proprietary datasets and ensuring their quality and robustness.

✔ Working closely with investment, research and technology teams to translate quantitative research into actionable investment insights.

I'm keen to speak with candidates who have:

✔ PhD in a quantitative discipline.

✔ Strong Python programming, quantitative modelling and data analysis skills.

✔ 5 -10 years+ quantitative experience working with ESG, sustainability, climate, emissions, transition risk, biodiversity or nature-related datasets.

✔ A background in sustainable investing, climate analytics or environmental data.

This is an opportunity to apply your quantitative expertise to one of the fastest-growing areas of asset management, helping build proprietary research, datasets and investment frameworks that directly influence investment decisions.
