Job Description
Job Title: Global Equity Analyst – Long/Short (Hedge Fund)
Role Summary : We are seeking a high-conviction Global Equity Analyst to join our long/short equity hedge fund. This role is designed for an investor who thrives in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment, generates differentiated long and short ideas, and is comfortable operating in shorter-duration timeframes (3–6 months). The analyst will take ownership of ideas from inception through monetization, with direct P&L accountability.
Responsibilities
* Source, develop, and pitch high-conviction long and short equity ideas across global markets
* Focus on tactical, catalyst-driven opportunities with defined 3–6 month time horizons
* Build and maintain deep, dynamic financial models and valuation frameworks
* Identify and size around idiosyncratic and macro-driven catalysts (earnings, guidance changes, capital allocation, regulatory shifts, macro inflections)
* Continuously monitor positions, manage downside risk, and adjust theses rapidly as facts change
* Work directly with the PM on position construction, timing, and risk management
* Maintain tight coverage lists and rotate focus quickly as opportunity sets evolve
* Develop and leverage strong relationships with sell-side analysts, research houses, and industry experts to source differentiated insights, validate theses, and gain early awareness of shifting narratives
* Actively challenge consensus views and use external research as an input, not a substitute, for independent thinking
* Clearly and decisively communicate investment views under pressure
Profile
* 3–8+ years of experience in long/short equity hedge funds or equivalent buy-side roles
* Ability to independently source ideas beyond published research
* Demonstrated track record of profitable long and short idea generation
* Established network across sell-side research, independent research providers, and industry contacts
* Comfortable taking non-consensus views and expressing them with conviction
* Strong accounting, financial statement analysis, and valuation skills
* Ability to operate with speed, urgency, and accountability
* Strong market intuition with awareness of positioning, sentiment, and flows
* Global equity experience across multiple regions and sectors
* Mentally resilient, competitive, and performance-oriented
Preferred Attributes
* Experience in catalyst-driven, event-oriented, or tactical trading strategies
* Familiarity with risk management frameworks, drawdown control, and stop-loss discipline
* CFA designation a plus but not required
* Technical skills (Python, alternative data, excel) a plus
Culture & Compensation
* Meritocratic, results-driven hedge fund environment
* Flat structure with direct access to decision-makers
* Compensation heavily weighted toward performance and P&L contribution
* High expectations, rapid feedback, and significant upside for top performers
