PDT Partners, a quantitative investment manager, seeks an analytical-, detail-, and team- oriented Analyst to join our Finance rotational program. This is a great opportunity for a bright, hard-working person to dive deeply into different groups under the Finance umbrella of a global hedge fund. In addition to your rotational work, you’ll be provided with ongoing training, focusing on business topics and professional development. 

PDT’s Finance organization consists of Fund Finance, Treasury, Corporate Finance, Risk Analytics, Investor Relations, Fund Operations and Procurement. During your two years, you will rotate through four different groups. Our goal is to provide you with as much exposure as possible to how PDT operates, from a business perspective.

At the end of the program, you may find a home on one of our Finance teams. 

Why join us? PDT Partners has a stellar 30-year track record and a reputation for excellence.  Our goal is to be the best quantitative investment manager in the world - measured by the quality of our products, not their size.
