Portfolio Manager Assistant — Diversified Long/Short

Gestion

Stage

Varenne Capital Partners is Paris-based, process-driven, global investment manager with over 3 billion euro of assets under management, whose purpose is to deliver superior long-term returns with the minimum necessary risk-taking. We strive to achieve this goal by employing proprietary research and combining complementary investment frameworks in a single strategy: Long Equity, Short Equity, Merger Arbitrage and Tail Risk Hedging. Our ‘brokers are not welcome’ policy means that we rely exclusively on our own internal research and base our analysis on facts and figures. All of our investment frameworks stem from years of research and development and as a result comprise original methodologies, formalized processes, dedicated teams of analysts and bespoke information systems.

Mission

The BQL team, which manages the long/short diversified strategy, selects its investments on the basis of the output of proprietary algorithms. As a member of the team, you will assist the Managers in charge of the strategies. Tasks will be varied and will include:

Participation in the investment process: validation of the signals on which the strategy is based, portfolio construction
Front office tasks, monitoring of corporate actions, dividends and stop losses
Development of Reporting tools and spreadsheets on Tableau
R&D of new proprietary algorithms

Profile

Ideally, the candidate will have a degree in either Mathematics, Engineering or Finance, have an interest in the asset management industry and seek a first full-time experience in a hedge fund. We require solid skills in programming: VBA, Python, Tableau and SQL. Good knowledge in Corporate Finance, Accounting and Financial Markets is required.

Previous experience in banking, consulting/auditing firms and asset management is a plus.

We also demand the capability of working within a team, flexibility and a proactive approach. Fluency in French would be beneficial.

Should you succeed in your tasks, you could be made an offer for a permanent position.
