Arcana is a portfolio intelligence platform used by hedge funds and asset managers to analyze performance and risk. We’re rethinking the tools institutional investors rely on—and we’re hiring analysts who want to drive that transformation.

This isn’t a typical modeling-and-memos analyst role. Our analysts work directly with product, engineering, and data science to shape institutional-grade financial software. If you’re an analyst looking for more impact, more ownership, and the chance to help shape real tools for investors—we’d love to talk.

Responsibilities

Collaborate with product, engineering, and data science teams to build robust portfolio intelligence tools and analytics components
Analyze portfolio- and security-level performance, risk, and attribution
Decompose returns to identify key drivers of alpha, beta, and idiosyncratic outcomes
Conduct market, macroeconomic, and security-level research to support client workflows and product insights
Validate, interpret, and clearly communicate financial metrics to both internal stakeholders and clients

Exceptional analytical and Excel skills, with strong proficiency in financial modeling and interpreting large datasets
Deep understanding of core investment concepts: portfolio theory, risk attribution, yield, drawdown, correlation, and volatility
Excellent at communicating with institutional clients—including portfolio managers, analysts, CIOs, and risk managers—with the ability to distill complex analysis into clear, actionable insights
Demonstrated deep interest in financial markets, investment strategies, and institutional workflows
Self-starter with the ability to work independently in a fast-paced, remote environment
Familiarity with institutional investment processes, research platforms, and financial data tools

Qualifications

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree from a top-ranked university in Finance, Economics, Engineering, or a related field
First-Class Honours degree (or international equivalent) required
CFA, FRM, or MBA is a strong plus
Experience with tools like Bloomberg, FactSet, or data programming languages (Python, R) is a bonus

Staying safe while you apply

Never pay to apply, interview or accept an offer. ROLIVA never asks you for payment to apply to a job.
Apply only through the official “Apply on the employer’s site” button, on the employer’s own site, and check that a recruiter’s email uses that employer’s own domain rather than a free email address.
Be cautious of an offer made with no real interview, or pressure to decide quickly or share financial details early.
