Our client, a London-based hedge fund is searching for an Equity Long/Short Analyst to join their high-performing team. This is an end-to-end investing role for a creative, commercially minded analyst who can generate differentiated ideas and take ownership from research through to portfolio impact.

- Independent, creative thinker with high conviction
