• Performs sustainable investing research including model construction, factor definitions, factor calculations, and translates output statistics into meaningful information.
• Designs and develops interactive dashboards for ESG model performance and portfolio analytics.
• Performs schema mapping and onboarding of multi-asset ESG datasets to validate alignment with quantitative model requirements and ensure consistency across diverse data sources.
• Processes and integrates raw vendor feeds and Application Programming Interface (API) outputs for ESG ratings, sustainable investment strategies, market data, and factor exposures, delivering standardized, model-ready datasets optimized for downstream analytics and portfolio construction.
• Responds to ad-hoc requests for data analysis, back-testing, and visualization in support of quantitative research projects.
• Performs daily, weekly, and monthly production reporting cycles across analytic environments.
• Ensures all required input data is available, processes run successfully, statistical output is accurate, and reports are generated properly.
• Reports results of statistical analyses, including information in the form of graphs, charts, and tables.
• Determines whether statistical methods are appropriate, based on user needs or research questions of interest.

Education and Experience:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Quantitative Economics, Mathematics, Mathematical Finance, Financial Technology, or a closely related field (or foreign education equivalent) and three (3) years of experience as a Manager, Quant Data Analytics and Insights (or closely related occupation) performing data engineering and quantitative model deployment by building and validating end-to-end ESG solutions using Python, Snowflake, Oracle, GitHub, and FactSet in a financial services industry.

Or, alternatively, Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Quantitative Economics, Mathematics, Mathematical Finance, Financial Technology, or a closely related field (or foreign education equivalent) and one (1) year of experience as a Manager, Quant Data Analytics and Insights (or closely related occupation) performing data engineering and quantitative model deployment by building and validating end-to-end ESG solutions using Python, Snowflake, Oracle, GitHub, and FactSet in a financial services industry.

Skills and Knowledge:

Candidate must also possess:

• Demonstrated Expertise ("DE") performing quantitative ESG model validation by applying ESG scoring methodology and equity/fixed income factor using Python and SQL; performing back-testing and sensitivity analysis to implement algorithmic improvements and enhance model robustness using Python, SQL, Snowflake, and Oracle; and performing model development lifecycle support and CI/CD workflow maintenance using GitHub and Jira.
• DE performing data extraction and integration for quantitative ESG models by assessing, processing, and documenting data relationships, definitions, and schema structures across relational and cloud-based data environments using SQL, Snowflake, Oracle, Python, and FactSet; and processing and integrating API outputs and vendor feeds from sources including Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) to deliver clean, model-ready datasets using Python and SQL.
• DE designing and developing interactive analytical dashboards and data visualization solutions for ESG models to evaluate model performance and support portfolio construction decisions, using Python, Streamlit, Plotly, Matplotlib, and Seaborn.
• DE designing and deploying a systematic framework for integrity testing across Snowflake and Oracle environments using Python, SQL, Excel, and VBA; and applying advanced analytics to validate historical data accuracy for quantitative modeling and production using Python, and SQL, including performing outlier detection and time-series analysis.

Salary: $126,000.00 to $141,000.00/year.
