- Apply financial modelling principles to develop, improve and maintain models used for forecasting, planning, analysis and strategic decision-making.
- Assist with the preparation of financial models and business cases to evaluate potential investments, initiatives and strategic decisions.
- Work with stakeholders across the business to source forecast inputs, loading and validating these within the planning system in an accurate and timely manner.
- Sense check model outputs and underlying data to identify, investigate and resolve errors, ensuring the integrity of outputs.
- Analyse financial and non-financial outputs and their key drivers, presenting insights back to stakeholders in a clear and actionable way to support decision-making and drive action.
- Support the development of EPM data integrations, planning models and reporting outputs.
- Use LLM tools and other technologies to improve processes, increase efficiency and support problem-solving.

Required Qualifications:

- Relevant experience in an FP&A, finance, planning or similar analytical role, with a strong understanding of financial modelling principles.
- Experience building, maintaining or improving financial models, ideally including three-statement financial models.
- Experience using an Enterprise Performance Management tool such as Workday Adaptive Planning, Anaplan or Vena.

- Strong communication skills with the ability to build and maintain professional relationships across all levels of the business.
- High personal standards, strong attention to detail and a desire to exceed expectations.
- An independent mindset, with the confidence to challenge existing processes and propose improvements.
- A well-structured, proactive work ethic with the ability to work under pressure and manage deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
- A curious mindset and a natural interest in understanding the wider business.
- Open to technology and motivated to find ways to streamline and improve processes.

## About Squarepoint Capital

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Squarepoint Capital is a leading global quantitative investment manager that uses a rigorous scientific approach and state-of-the-art technology to construct diversified, systematic strategies for institutional clients.
- **Entity Type**: Private (no disclosed external funding; spun out from Barclays in 2014)
- **Headquarters**: New York, New York, United States
- **Founded**: 2014 (as an independent firm; the underlying business, nQuant, dates back to 2000 within Lehman Brothers and later Barclays)
- **Founders**: Led by four founding partners (names not publicly disclosed); the original founders of nQuant continue to lead Squarepoint today.

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Financial Services – Quantitative Investment Management
- **Target customers**: Institutional investors (B2B)
- **Mission / Purpose**: “Achieving high quality returns for our clients” through a systematic, diversified, and research-driven investment platform.

## Products & Services
- **Quantitative Investment Strategies**: A diversified portfolio of systematic strategies spanning multiple asset classes (equities, fixed income, currencies, commodities), trading frequencies (high-frequency to long-term), and global markets. The majority of investments are based on rigorous backtesting on historical data.
- **Technology & Data Platform**: A custom, nimble, and forward-looking software stack that enables seamless integration between research and trading, executing millions of trades per day. Includes low-latency trading systems and a world-class data infrastructure.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Annual revenue is not publicly disclosed (LinkedIn estimates ~$12M, but this likely underrepresents a firm of this scale; the figure should be treated with caution). The firm is privately held and does not report earnings.
- **Notable Investors / Partners**: No external investors; the firm is privately held by its founding partners. Alumni frequently move to top quant funds and tech companies (e.g., Millennium, Citadel, Qube Research & Technologies, Google, Jump Trading).
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew 33.9% year-over-year to approximately 1,801 employees (LinkedIn, 2025). The firm operates 17 offices across 8 countries and is actively hiring across technical, research, and finance roles.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Deep heritage**: The team’s quantitative roots trace back to 2000, with a proven track record through multiple market cycles.
- **Scientific rigor**: A disciplined, research-first approach that relies on backtesting and systematic execution rather than discretionary bets.
- **Scale and technology**: Executes millions of trades daily using a highly custom, low-latency platform developed in-house.
- **Global diversification**: Strategies span asset classes, geographies, and trading frequencies, reducing reliance on any single market or style.
- **Culture of ownership**: Privately held and led by its founding partners, fostering long-term thinking and accountability.

## Strategic Focus
- **Diversification**: Continuously expanding into new asset classes, trading frequencies, and geographies.
- **Technology investment**: Ongoing development of proprietary software and data infrastructure to maintain a competitive edge in research and execution.
- **Talent acquisition**: Aggressively hiring quantitative researchers, software engineers (C++, Python), platform engineers, and operations specialists across global offices.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Collaboration across teams, a flat structure with a strong sense of ownership and accountability, and a focus on intellectual curiosity.
- **Work environment**: In-office for most roles (offices in New York, Boston, London, Paris, Singapore, Bangalore, etc.). Some roles offer a remote work program, but the majority require physical presence.
- **Benefits**: Generous parental leave, health insurance (medical, dental, vision), 401(K) matching, disability and life insurance, paid sick days, generous PTO, paid volunteer time, free snacks and drinks. Offices are designed for in-person collaboration.
- **Engineering culture**: Technology is considered core to the business; engineers work closely with quantitative researchers to build and optimize trading systems. Emphasis on C++, Python, Kubernetes, and low-latency systems.
- **Growth trajectory**: Rapid headcount growth and a global footprint offer opportunities for career advancement and international mobility.
