Job description

About AQR Capital Management 

AQR is a global investment firm built at the intersection of financial theory and practical application. We strive to deliver concrete, long-term results by looking past market noise to identify and isolate the factors that matter most, and by developing ideas that stand up to rigorous testing. By putting theory into practice, we have become a leader in alternative strategies and an innovator in traditional portfolio management since 1998.

At AQR, our employees share a common spirit of academic excellence, intellectual honesty and an unwavering commitment to seeking the truth. We're determined to know what makes financial markets tick - and we'll ask every question and challenge every assumption.  We recognize and respect the power of collaboration, and believe transparency and openness to new ideas leads to innovation.

Your Role

As a Trading Analyst, you'll work alongside our traders on projects that directly support the investment process across global markets. You'll analyze trading activity, study market structure and liquidity, investigate how news and geopolitical events influence prices, and help improve how we execute systematic investment strategies.

This is a hands-on role where you'll learn by doing-working with experienced traders, portfolio managers, researchers, and technologists on real problems that matter every day.

You'll have opportunities to:

  • Analyze trading costs, market structure, and liquidity across asset classes.
  • Explore how macroeconomic events, earnings, policy decisions, and geopolitical developments impact markets.
  • Build analytical tools and perform research to improve execution and trading decisions.
  • Work with large datasets to identify patterns, test hypotheses, and generate actionable insights.
  • Collaborate closely with portfolio managers, researchers, and technologists on projects spanning the investment process.

What Makes a Great Trading Analyst

We're looking for intellectually curious, collaborative people who are passionate about financial markets and excited to learn.

Successful analysts typically:

  • Are fascinated by global markets and naturally follow financial, economic, and geopolitical developments.
  • Enjoy understanding why markets move and how news is reflected in prices, volatility, and liquidity.
  • Have a genuine interest in market structure, trading, and liquidity across multiple asset classes.
  • Are collaborative team players who communicate well, ask thoughtful questions, and enjoy learning from others.
  • Believe the best answers come from data. They enjoy testing hypotheses and using data science to solve real-world trading and investment problems. Whether through programming, AI-assisted tools, or other analytical approaches, they are motivated by finding evidence-based solutions rather than relying on intuition alone.
  • Take ownership, bring a positive attitude, and are eager to contribute to the success of the team.

What You'll Bring

  • December 2026 or Spring 2027 graduate with a desire to work in the financial services industry
  • A Bachelor's or Master's degree
  • Excellent communication skills
  • Commitment to intellectual integrity, self-drive, maturity, and ability to collaborate
  • Detail-orientation, ability to multi-task

The salary range for this role is expected to be $145,000 to $155,000. This is the range that we in good faith believe is accurate for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, depending upon factors such as skills, experience, location, or other business and organizational needs. This wage range may also be modified in the future.
