A Leading multi-billion dollar Investment Advisor in Manhattan is looking for a full-time, permanent, employee for a Portfolio Analytics Manager:

Position

The firm is seeking a Portfolio Analytics Manager to own investment and risk management-related firm-level analytics while managing a team of 2-3 analysts. This team is a part of the larger Portfolio and Analytics Group (PAG), the central analytics group for the Firm. As the team lead, the new hire will be primarily responsible for three broad areas:

1.Core routine analytics: The team produces critical investment and risk metrics used in the day-to-day management of the overall Firm s investment portfolio. The Portfolio Analytics Manager is the owner of the conceptual framework and routine outputs of a large set of critical analytics, including:

a.Aggregate granular systemic exposures in the portfolio, which provide the primary mechanism for managing systemic risk in the portfolio

b.Attribution of value-add from investment decisions to separate alpha from beta

c.Alpha risk in the portfolio (tracking error) and other risk calculation outputs

d.Detailed investment-level analytics outputs, which are critical components of investment decision-making

e.Reporting of the related output metrics to the Firm s Board and investors

2.Projects for improvements and updates to analytics: Own and execute projects for improvements to the analytics frameworks outlined above (collaborating with Investments/Risk/PAG/IT teams)
