Full Job Description
The Brooklyn Investment team is building the next generation of direct indexing - a platform that fuses institutional-grade quantitative research, scalable technology, and hands-on client expertise.

Key Responsibilities and Duties

  • Interpret and communicate portfolio data - including exposures, tax trades, drift, and risk - in a clear and actionable manner for a sophisticated client audience.
  • Conduct quantitative analyses using Python, including pulling time series data, diagnosing factor exposures, validating tax trades, and building diagnostic dashboards.
  • Collaborate with research and engineering teams to translate client needs and feedback into platform features and workflow improvements.
  • Proactively monitor accounts to identify and act on opportunities related to tax-loss harvesting, portfolio transitions, customization enhancements, and compliance with client-specific investment restrictions.
