This role sits within a specialist team responsible for sourcing, evaluating, and underwriting external Long/Short Equity investment talent, with outputs feeding directly into the firm’s internal research and investment processes rather than capital allocation decisions.

• Produce high-quality qualitative and quantitative diligence write-ups for internal investment teams
• Contribute to the design, enhancement, and implementation of IDD frameworks and evaluation methodologies
• Build and maintain long-term relationships with external managers as a credible, value-add counterpart
• Assist with manager sourcing and identification efforts
• Provide ongoing monitoring and re-underwriting of covered managers from a research perspective

Candidate Profile

• Meaningful experience in hedge fund investment due diligence, manager research, or hedge fund strategy analysis
• Strong background evaluating Long/Short Equity PMs
• Experience contributing to or building IDD frameworks is highly desirable
• Highly analytical with sound investment judgment and intellectual curiosity
• Comfortable engaging senior PMs and articulating views internally with clarity and confidence
• Backgrounds from hedge funds, funds of funds, pensions, endowments, or specialist advisory firms welcomed
