About The Team
The Portfolio Implementation team is responsible for the construction, optimization, and management of AQR's global asset allocation portfolios.

    • Design and enhance portfolio implementation analytics
    • Collaborate with product teams, business development and client administration to prepare portfolio analyses for clients
  • Enhancing portfolio implementation:
    • Work on projects with senior portfolio managers, researchers, developers, and traders to improve systematic portfolio management practices
    • Coordinate/participate in design and automation projects for the portfolio management workflow
    • Implement new portfolios/strategies to enhance client offerings
What You'll Bring
  • Bachelor's degree from top academic institution in finance, economics, quantitative or scientific discipline
  • 0-2 years of experience in the financial industry; quantitative environment preferred
  • Strong technical aptitude with demonstrated experience and knowledge of programming languages (Python, MATLAB, R, or equivalent) and SQL
  • Strong problem solving and quantitative skills
  • Excellent communication skills
Who You Are
  • Mature and thoughtful, with the ability to operate within a collaborative, team-oriented culture
  • Committed to intellectual integrity, with a high degree of ethics
  • Hard working and eager to learn in a highly intellectual, innovative environment
  • Well-organized, detail-oriented; able to multi-task and keep track of various deadlines
