## Job description

Xantium Academy Fellow

We seek top early-career professionals to join our inaugural Xantium Academy Fellowship commencing the summer of 2027.  This six-month accelerated program blends structured mentorship, classroom theory, and hands-on practice across fluid tracks in Trading or Analysis.  Supported by active executive sponsorship – including direct engagement with Xantium Co-Founders – Fellows will make immediate contributions through real-world projects.

We plan to hire 10-12 highly talented individuals with a range of experiences for our first cohort; while each person will be based in New York or London, they’ll collaborate with Xantium colleagues around the world.  The overall experience shall enable Fellows to discover their natural niche, hone in on an ideal role and team, and transition into their permanent professional home at the end of the program.

Program Structure

- Six-Month Timeline: The program begins with an “Initial Immersion” rotation featuring 10-12 weeks of immediate, hands-on deployment into real work alongside seasoned professionals.  Fellows then transition into a 3-week cohort-wide classroom training led by experienced speakers and Xantium leadership hosted at one of Xantium’s main offices.  The experience concludes with a 10-12 week “Capstone” rotation of more advanced deployment, allowing Fellows to build off their learnings to tackle another set of projects.
- Dedicated Mentorship: Fellows are matched with a long-term career "Advisor" for the full six months, alongside rotation-specific business unit "Facilitators" who provide immediate team onboarding and daily project direction.
- Fluid Learning Tracks: Rather than rigid silos, the structure allows Fellows to tailor their journey, absorbing both Trading and Analysis content to find the unique intersection that best suits one’s talents.

## Key Responsibilities

- Perform fundamental and quantitative research, analyzing market dynamics, industry trends, and company-specific data to support actionable investment decisions.
- Build and maintain financial models, monitor portfolio risks, and assist in evaluating complex company valuations.
- Fuel trading desks by analyzing pricing, simulating market dynamics, and assisting with trade execution and lifecycle management.
- Drive key business initiatives alongside Portfolio Managers, Analysts, and Traders, collaborating with colleagues globally across London, New York, Abu Dhabi, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

## Qualifications

- Strong academic and extracurricular record in university pursuits.
- Demonstrated interest in financial markets, company research, trading, and/or business strategy.
- High adaptability and self-direction, capable of seamlessly transitioning between rigorous academic theory and hands-on execution.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage confidently with executive leadership and a global team.
- Deep intellectual curiosity and a relentless drive to thrive in a fast-paced, rigorous investment environment.

Compensation: Xantium Academy Fellows in New York can expect to earn $150,000 to $175,000+ base.  Total compensation for all Xantium Academy Fellows also includes a large annual bonus which is guaranteed in year one and based on employee and firm performance thereafter.
