Senior Research Analyst recruitment

Martin Currie is a specialist investment management business based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Globally, we manage £5.5 billion (US$8.6 billion)* in active equity portfolios and hedge funds for clients across Europe, North America and around the world. 

As an independent 'big boutique', we blend the best attributes of large and small investment managers. Our vibrant, entrepreneurial culture means we can act quickly to meet the needs of our growing number of clients.

An opportunity has arisen for a senior healthcare research analyst in our Global Sector Research team. Our sector research analysts are not trainee portfolio managers. They are career sector specialists, enjoying parity with portfolio manager colleagues, and the rewards associated with success are excellent.

Reporting to the Director of Research and working collaboratively with our portfolio managers, the successful candidate will be required to identify and evaluate investment opportunities in the healthcare sector on a global basis. Our approach is bottom-up and typically involves a 3–5 year investment horizon.

Accordingly, this role demands a rare combination of talents. An acute, analytical mind is a prerequisite. The ability to effectively and efficiently manage your own workload and hit demanding deadlines for delivery of research is vital. You will also need the communication and people skills necessary to sell your insights to our different investment teams (Global, North America, Europe, etc).

The successful candidate will:

• Have a proven track record as a money-making stockpicker.

• Have at least 5 years’ experience of working in an analyst role, preferably on the buy side.

• Be able to demonstrate experience of building in-depth financial models on individual stocks.

• Be looking to take the next step into a specialist research role in the global healthcare sector and be CFA-qualified or working towards that qualification.

Martin Currie is owned by its employees. The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to build a stake in the business. We also offer highly competitive salaries and performance-driven incentives.

Only successful applicants will be contacted.
