Tier One Multi-Strategy Platform - Senior Analyst - Equity Long/Short

Join an established equity long/short pod inside one of the largest multi-strategy platforms in New York. The platform runs well over $50bn across more than a hundred investment teams. The PM has run capital here for over six years through two full drawdown cycles without breaching a limit, and the pod is adding a senior seat because the allocation has grown, not because someone left. Multi-strategy platforms continue to take capital from single manager funds, and the pass through expense model means this hire is funded by a firm that is expanding the book rather than trimming it. This is a seat on a book that has already survived the part most pods do not.The OpportunityWe're seeking a Senior Analyst to own a defined coverage slice and carry direct attribution on the names you bring. You'll pitch into a PM who sizes positions off your work rather than re-underwriting it, which is the difference between a research seat and an investing seat. The pod runs four investment professionals plus a dedicated trader, so your ideas compete for capital against three people rather than thirty. Coverage will be scoped to your existing edge in the first conversation rather than assigned to you after you sign.The BookFundamental equity long/short, market neutral to modestly net long, run at a gross exposure typically between 300% and 500%.Forty to sixty positions, with a holding period that averages three to nine months and a core of longer duration compounders.Names concentrated in US and developed Europe large and mid cap, with liquidity screens that keep the book exitable inside a few days.Position level stop discipline, a pod drawdown limit set well inside the platform standard, and daily risk oversight from a central team.Key ResponsibilitiesOwn a defined coverage universe of roughly forty to seventy names, generating long and short ideas with a clear variant view rather than consensus updates.Build and maintain the models behind your names, including the operating detail that actually moves the print rather than a full three statement build for its own sake.Pitch with a thesis, a catalyst path and a defined downside, because on this platform a pitch without a downside case does not get sized.Carry attribution on your book and defend it in weekly pod reviews and monthly sessions with central risk.Work channel checks, expert networks, industry conferences and management access into a differentiated information edge, inside a compliance perimeter that is genuinely enforced here.Partner with central risk and the financing desk on sizing, borrow availability and crowding, which on a platform this size is a live constraint rather than a formality.What We're Looking For5 to 10 years in fundamental equity research, with a track record you can put a number against or a coverage history you can talk through name by name.Demonstrable short experience. This is the single filter that separates candidates who work out on a platform from candidates who do not, and long only backgrounds are considered only where the other side can be evidenced.The ability to hold a view under a drawdown and also to change it quickly when the facts move. Those are different skills and this seat needs both.Comfort with a daily marked book. Candidates from illiquid or quarterly marked strategies frequently underestimate what that does to the job.Backgrounds welcomed from single manager long/short funds, other platform pods, sell side equity research at senior associate or VP level, and long only investment teams where shorting can be evidenced.Process and TimingFour stages. Screen with the PM, a modelling and stock pitch exercise on a name of your choosing, a panel with central risk and a second PM, then a final conversation with the business head.The pitch exercise is the whole process in practice. Prepare one long and one short you would size today.Target start is Q1 2027, with flexibility for a notice period or a deferred comp cycle.Why Join?A pod with a six year track record and stable capital rather than a new launch. Ask about the PM's drawdown history and current allocation in the first conversation, because it is the difference between a three year seat and a nine month one, and the answer here is a good one.Base of $200,000 to $275,000 with a payout linked directly to pod P&L, and a realistic first year total of $450,000 to $900,000. Guarantees are available for the right profile.Direct attribution from day one, which means your P&L is visible to the platform rather than pooled into the PM's number. This is what makes the next step to running your own book possible.A clear path to PM on a platform that promotes internally and has done so twice from this pod.Central risk, financing, data and engineering infrastructure that a single manager fund of this size could not fund, which means you spend your time on ideas rather than on plumbing.Five days on site in Midtown. This is stated plainly because the platform will not flex on it and there is no point discovering that at offer stage.
