• Experience short selling and hedging is required.

• Experience with long-term investing in a concentrated portfolio motivated by rigorous fundamental analysis.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

• Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence and collaborate across geographies and functions.

• A strong team player with a passion for collaboration, development, and mentorship.

• Ability to balance multiple priorities, work independently, lead projects and thrive in a high-performance team environment.

• High degree of judgment, integrity, and professionalism, with comfort operating in a highly visible role.
