About the Role
Greater London, United Kingdom Area (On-site)
The Company is seeking a Head of Research & Analytics Platform to spearhead the development of a next-generation platform with a focus on enterprise-wide impact. This senior technical leader will be responsible for leading the end-to-end design and build of the platform, making strategic decisions on its development, and consolidating various data, tooling, and workflows into a unified system. The role is pivotal in supporting a diverse range of users across investment teams, from quantitative researchers to portfolio managers, and requires the ability to operate in a complex, global stakeholder landscape. The successful candidate will work closely with senior leadership to set the vision and roadmap, with the ultimate goal of delivering a platform that significantly enhances investment decision-making at scale. Candidates for this role at the company should have a strong background in building research, data, or analytics platforms within financial services, with a proven track record of operating in large, complex organizations. The position demands a leader who can take ownership of both the strategic and execution aspects of the project, from the early discovery phase to the final delivery. While a strong technical grounding is essential, the role is not purely hands-on and requires the ability to transition from a hands-on leader to a team builder over time. Experience working with investment, research, or quant teams is beneficial, and the role is particularly suited to individuals who enjoy leading large-scale platform initiatives and shaping technology strategy at an enterprise level.
