The Role

As a Market Research Associate, you will be responsible for identifying, mapping, and researching top talent across the global quantitative trading landscape. Working closely with experienced recruiters and team leaders, you will develop an in-depth understanding of the market, key firms, and leading professionals within the industry.


This position is designed as an entry point into a full recruitment career. As you gain market knowledge and confidence, you will progressively take ownership of candidate outreach and eventually conduct conversations with senior quantitative professionals.


Responsibilities

  • Conduct detailed market mapping across quantitative trading, systematic trading, and related financial markets sectors.
  • Identify and research high-calibre candidates using a variety of tools and platforms.
  • Build and maintain accurate candidate and company intelligence within internal systems.
  • Analyse hiring trends, competitor activity, and talent movements across the market.
  • Support consultants with candidate identification for live mandates.
  • Create talent pipelines for future client requirements.
  • Develop a strong understanding of quantitative trading strategies, firms, and market participants.
  • Progressively engage with candidates and build professional relationships.
  • Transition into candidate-facing responsibilities, including screening calls and market discussions.


Requirements

  • Strong academic background.
  • Excellent research, analytical, and organisational skills.
  • Naturally curious with a genuine interest in financial markets and quantitative trading.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Highly driven, ambitious, and eager to learn.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, target-driven environment.
  • Comfortable engaging with senior professionals as the role develops.
  • Previous research, recruitment, sales, finance, or market intelligence experience is advantageous but not essential.


What We Offer

  • Comprehensive training on quantitative trading markets and recruitment.
  • Direct exposure to leading global hedge funds and trading firms.
  • Clear career progression into a full recruitment consultant position.
  • Opportunity to develop commercial and relationship-management skills.
  • Competitive base salary and performance-based incentives.
  • Collaborative, high-performance team environment.
  • Long-term career growth within a specialist and expanding market.


If you are intellectually curious, commercially minded, and interested in building a career within the quantitative trading recruitment space, we'd love to hear from you. Apply or reach out to dperry@hunterbond.com
