From Alpha Theory's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Most people spend years trying to get a seat at the table where real investment decisions get made. In this role, you start there. Alpha Theory helps hedge funds and asset managers make better decisions, and our Client Experience team makes sure every client gets real, lasting value from the platform. From day one, you'll work directly with portfolio managers and analysts, learning how professional investors think, debate, and decide, and helping them do it better.
With Annie, our proprietary AI answer engine, clients can now do more on their own, which shifts our work toward consultative guidance, benchmarking, best practice sharing, and long-term relationship building. We're looking for an early-career professional who is curious about markets, learns quickly, adapts easily, takes coaching well, and brings the emotional intelligence and professionalism needed to work with sophisticated investment professionals.
Why Highly Motivated, Curious Finance Students and Professionals Love This Role
You'll see inside dozens of investment processes, not just one. An analyst at a single fund learns one firm's approach. You'll learn how many different funds research ideas, size positions, and manage risk, and our benchmarking data will show you what separates the strongest performers from the rest.
You'll build deep expertise in the discipline that drives returns. Position sizing and portfolio construction are among the most important, and most overlooked, skills in investing. You'll develop a practical understanding of how conviction, risk, and reward translate into portfolio decisions.
You'll be at the forefront of AI in finance. You'll help clients adopt Annie, test new capabilities before they launch, and learn how to pair human judgment with AI to produce better work at scale.
You'll build a network that matters. Working closely with senior investment professionals means building relationships and credibility with the people who shape careers in this industry.
You'll develop skills every great investor and advisor needs. Explaining quantitative ideas simply, reading people well, managing relationships, and turning data into decisions are skills you'll practice every day.
You'll grow fast, with real support. With close mentorship and a clear path from supporting client reviews to leading them, you'll take on meaningful responsibility quickly.
If you're curious about markets, love learning, and want a front-row seat to how top investors make decisions (and how AI is changing the game), this is the role for you!
This isn't a clock-in, clock-out job. We're a small company competing in an innovative space, and we're looking for people who want to work hard and help build something big. That means being proactive: finding what needs doing and doing it, rather than waiting to be told.
What makes the hard work worth it is the people. Many of us have been here for years, and most would say the team is the biggest reason why. We're a nerdy, curious, adventurous, and empathetic group with a wide range of hobbies, from running, biking, and travel to card/board games, music, and gardening. Most of the office eats lunch together every day.
That comes with free lunch on Tuesdays, goofy trivia, Rubik's Cube competitions, and conversations that range from the latest AI models to the best concerts we’ve ever attended to why the final season of Game of Thrones let us all down.
We also believe work should fit around life, not the other way around. When a kid gets sick, a family member needs you, or life just happens, we make it work. People step in, schedules flex, and everyone gets the job done.
