Senior Associate, Portfolio Risk (Fundamental and Macro Analysis), Global Investment Firm

We are partnering with a leading long-term institutional investor to hire a Senior Associate within their Portfolio Risk team. This is a unique opportunity for an equity research professional who enjoys connecting macro, geopolitical, and thematic developments to real-world portfolio implications.
This is not a traditional investment role—instead, you will play a critical role in influencing investment decisions by identifying potential risks and stress scenarios (e.g. geopolitical conflicts, pandemics, policy shifts) and translating them into actionable portfolio insights.

Responsibilities 

• Develop macro & thematic risk perspectives
  • Research and analyse global macroeconomic, geopolitical, policy, and structural trends that could impact equity portfolios.
• Support scenario-based stress testing
  • Work with senior team members to translate complex events (e.g. war, inflation shocks, regulatory changes) into structured risk scenarios and narratives.
• Bridge macro to fundamentals
  • Identify how top-down risks flow through to sectors, industries, and individual companies—across revenue, costs, margins, and earnings.
• Build and run financial analysis
  • Support the development of bottom-up stress models to quantify the impact of scenarios on company earnings, cash flow, and valuation.
• Assess portfolio impact
  • Contribute to company-, sector-, and portfolio-level analysis to highlight key downside risks and areas of vulnerability.
• Monitor early warning signals
  • Track relevant indicators and developments that may signal rising risk and proactively flag potential threats.

Requirement

• 3–5 years’ experience in equity research, investment analysis, macro research, consulting, or strategy
• Strong grounding in company fundamentals and financial modelling
• Ability to connect macro trends to sector and company-level impacts, with a strong grasp of financial models and key value drivers (critical requirement)
• Analytical mindset with strong cause-and-effect reasoning
• Comfortable working with imperfect data and forming well-supported assumptions
• Strong communication skills—able to present structured, concise insights to senior stakeholders
• Intellectual curiosity across global markets, geopolitics, and structural trends

Why this role

• Opportunity to work at the intersection of macro strategy and fundamental investing
• Exposure to portfolio-level decision-making and risk management
• Ideal for equity research professionals looking to broaden into macro-driven portfolio risk and scenario analysis
• Structured environment with strong mentorship and long-term development

Please apply to the role with a recent copy of your CV. We will be in touch once we review your profile for suitability.
