Roles in Capital Markets / Asset Management
3 roles
Financial Analyst
You are the financial detective of the company. You analyze past performance, predict future trends, and help leaders make multi-million dollar decisions. It's not just about Excel; it's about telling the story behind the numbers to guide strategy.
View Role
Data Analyst
You turn raw, messy data into clear insights. Companies are drowning in data but starving for wisdom—you bridge that gap. You'll use SQL to find the data, Python/R to analyze it, and Tableau/PowerBI to visualize it for stakeholders who need to know 'what do we do next?'
View Role
ML Engineer
You teach computers to learn. You take the experimental models from data scientists and turn them into production-ready software that scales. You live at the intersection of heavy math, big data, and software performance.
