How will you make an impact?

You will provide improved risk and performance analytics, and cashflow and liquidity analysis to support effective investment decision making.

The opportunity

We are seeking a numerically literate, self-starting problem solver to develop and extend the Investments team's data, risk, and modelling capabilities. As an investment analyst, you will support optimising long-term net investment returns by providing key inputs into capital deployment, portfolio construction, and investment risk.

Key responsibilities:

  • Employ mathematical models, statistical tools, and visualization techniques to identify trends and detect outliers.
  • Develop risk analytics and performance dashboards, including using Aladdin software.
  • Maintain and analyse liquidity and cashflow forecasts and their impact on financial performance.
  • Monitor sensitivity, stress testing, and variance analysis models to increase the accuracy of cashflow forecasts and optimise liquidity and capital deployment.
  • Assist with developing and maintaining databases and data collection systems to feed analysis as appropriate.
  • Report and present results to key stakeholders.

About you

  • 1-2 years of related experience in a similar role.
  • Bachelor's degree in any numerate and analytical discipline (such as Mathematics, Statistics, Finance, Actuary, Economics, Physics, Computer Science, Data Science, etc.).
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to collect, organize, analyse, and disseminate significant amounts of information with attention to detail and accuracy.
  • Strong critical thinking, deep intellectual curiosity, and robust problem-solving abilities; interpret data and analyse results using advanced mathematical and statistical modelling techniques.
  • Excellent written and presentation abilities, along with the capacity to communicate effectively across all organizational levels.
  • Proficiency in a coding language (such as R/Matlab/Julia/Python/VBA/SQL/Power BI).
  • Experience with risk systems (such as Aladdin, FactSet, StatPro, Macrobond, Bloomberg, Refinitiv, and equivalents).
  • An interest or knowledge of financial markets.
  • An interest or background in asset management across a broad range of asset classes.
  • Knowledge and/or experience of the Superannuation environment.
  • Knowledge of advanced mathematical and statistical techniques such as (non-)linear regression, ARIMA, VaR, Monte-Carlo/stochastic simulations, and Bayesian statistics.
  • Masters/PhD highly desirable.

What can we offer you?

Our employees are passionate about what we do and are proud to be part of an organisation that helps everyday Australians achieve a brighter future. We value diversity of thought and have an open and flexible workplace. Some industry-leading benefits we offer include:

  • Hybrid and flexible work environment.
  • 15% superannuation.
