The role:
Working with us offers excellent career and growth opportunities for highly motivated college graduates from quantitative disciplines with some exposure to data analytics and model development.
This is a client-facing, project-based analytics role, and some travel to client sites is to be expected as part of building client relationships and setting projects on a solid foundation, but most of our work can be conducted from Raleigh. We will make flexible working hours and market leading work life balance a priority considering your individual needs.
The ideal candidates will possess strong technical skills, capability to work in teams, deliver pieces of work efficiently and under high quality standards and have an open and flexible mindset.
Responsibilities will include:

  • You will be given ownership of the model development from start to finish with guidance from experienced managers
  • You will work on summarizing, presenting and documenting the performed analyses and features of the developed solutions in client-ready formats

Required skills and experience:
  • Working towards a Bachelor's or Master's degree in a quantitative discipline, e.g. Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Economics, Data Science, Computer Science or Engineering
  • Strong analytics and communication skills
  • Strong coding skills in one or several common languages, i.e. Python, SQL, R
  • Experience in advanced analytics and data manipulation
  • Familiarity with generative AI models
  • Experience working effectively and collaboratively in a team, while being sufficiently self-directed to meet deadlines and produce high-quality output when working independently
  • Be able to find innovative, practical and flexible solutions to business issues
  • Excellent command of English language (verbal and written)

The ideal candidate will also have some previous specific experience (through internships or course work) in one or more of our current domain focus areas:
  • Financial services: e.g. credit risk measurement, market risk measurement, liquidity management, stress testing, financial modelling, model validation, derivatives pricing
  • Supply Chain analytics: e.g. demand forecasting, network optimization, operations planning

This role is located in Raleigh, NC. Our other office locations are not options for this role.
