Downside & Tail-Hedging: Design, implement, and run robust tail-hedging and downside-protection frameworks. Ensure the portfolio is structurally insulated against tail risk, correlation breakdowns, and extreme market shocks. Portfolio Construction: Proactively identify and monitor "blind spots" within the book, including hidden factor exposures, correlation breakdowns under stress, and liquidity gaps across various market regimes.

Portfolio Construction & Risk Analytics: Strong quantitative capabilities with the ability to model complex, multi-asset portfolios, identify liquidity gaps, and stress-test assets during correlation breakdown periods. PM Collaboration: Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills. You must be able to challenge assumptions, present complex risk trade-offs to the Portfolio Manager, and work hand-in-hand to optimize the book's risk-reward profile. Education: A degree in Finance, Mathematics, Economics, Accounting or a related discipline; or advanced degree a plus Location: Ideally based in, or willing to relocate to Zug or Geneva, Switzerland.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
