Research Analyst

Research Analyst – Quantitative Finance

London, Full-time

AAAGlobal is a specialist headhunting firm placing quantitative talent globally – researchers, traders, developers, and portfolio managers – at leading hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, and quantitative asset managers.

We’re hiring a Research Analyst to join our London team. This is a research-led role for someone sharp, curious, and ambitious who wants to build deep expertise in one of the most intellectually demanding corners of finance – and grow quickly into a consultant who runs their own mandates.

What you’ll do

• Map talent markets: research, identify, and profile candidates across quant strategies, firms, and geographies
• Build and maintain market intelligence on firms, teams, and hiring trends
• Support senior consultants across live mandates – sourcing, screening, and engaging candidates
• Run structured candidate calls and write sharp, accurate candidate profiles
• Progress toward owning mandates and building your own client relationships

What we’re looking for

• Bachelor’s degree or above from a top-tier university.
• Genuine interest in financial markets and a foundational understanding of quantitative finance.
• Excellent research instincts: you dig deep, cross-reference, and never take information at face value.
• Fluent written and spoken English
• A second European language (French, German, Italian, etc.) a strong plus.
• Resilience, ambition, and meticulous attention to detail

What we offer

• Competitive compensation with strong, performance-based earning potential
• Direct mentorship from senior consultants with deep quant-market expertise
• Exposure to world-class hedge funds, prop shops, and quantitative asset managers
• A genuine, fast path to mandate and client ownership for those who deliver
