Director, Innovation Location: Remote-first | UK-based Level: Associate Director stepping up to Director You're ready for more. You just need the right place to do it. You've spent the last few years doing great work...leading projects, shaping strategy, getting in the room with consumers and drawing out what really matters. You're good at it. Your clients trust you. Your team leans on you. But somewhere along the way, you've started to feel like you're operating above your title. The work you're doing is Director-level. The recognition hasn't quite caught up yet. Sound familiar? Read on. 👇 The Opportunity We're working with a multi-award-winning innovation consultancy — a boutique, Director-only team of around 12 specialists working remote-first across the UK and New York. They're looking for someone to join at Director level, and they're specifically open to a strong Associate Director who's genuinely ready to make that step up. This isn't a "we'll consider ADs" footnote. It's a deliberate choice. They know that the best person for this role might not have the title yet — and they're hiring on capability, not seniority. Why This Role Is Different ✦ No layers. No account managers. No juniors to delegate to. Everyone owns their projects, their clients and their outcomes. It's the kind of environment where your work is visible, your impact is real and your growth is entirely in your hands. Remote-first and UK-based, with a transatlantic team that spans London and New York. The Day-to-Day 🚀 • Leading end-to-end innovation projects for major FMCG and consumer brands — from brief through to delivery, • Moderating qualitative research yourself — focus groups, in-home interviews, ethnography, jobs-to-be-done, concept and product clinics, • Designing and facilitating workshops and co-creation sprints with clients and consumers, • Writing concepts and product briefs; collaborating with R&D and technical teams, • Using AI tools day-to-day to sharpen analysis, accelerate synthesis and elevate the quality of your work, • Building client relationships and growing accounts — with an eye on winning new ones Who You Are You're a strategist first — someone who leads with thinking, shapes commercial direction and knows how to translate consumer insight into something a client will act on. But you're also a skilled qualitative researcher. You've been doing this since early in your career — not as a bolt-on, but as a core part of how you work. You moderate. You write discussion guides. You know what a good focus group looks and feels like from the inside. You've been trained in FMCG. Consumer goods is your grounding — the sector where you learned how insight drives innovation, how products get built and how brands grow. You may have worked across other sectors since, but FMCG is where your instincts were formed. You use AI practically and confidently — not as a talking point, but as a genuine part of how you work. 🤖 You're independently minded. You do your best work when you own something end-to-end. Remote-first isn't a compromise for you — it's how you prefer to operate. And you're ready. Not nearly ready. Not "give it six more months." Ready now — to own clients, win work and deliver at Director level from day one. Sound Like You? Apply below. I'd love to have a conversation. Remote-first | UK-based | FMCG & Consumer Goods

Senior Researcher – Real Estate Climate Risk Nice (France) or London (UK) | Permanent (CDI) | R&D Role Join an innovative climate research institute dedicated to advancing the understanding and application of climate risk assessments, developing innovative methodologies. This is a position for a researcher who wants to do both: publish rigorous, peer-reviewed work and see it shape the way financial institutions actually price and manage climate risk. At the EDHEC Climate Institute (ECI), you will be the lead architect of our climate risk methodology for real estate, a growing priority for lenders, insurers, and long-term investors navigating a rapidly changing regulatory and physical landscape. You will define how ECI approaches the real estate sector, build the analytical frameworks that underpin our tools and client deliverables, and publish the work that establishes ECI's intellectual leadership in this space. The ideal profile has a strong research foundation at PhD level combined with meaningful exposure to how real-world financial institutions, consultancies, or real estate operators actually use (and misuse) quantitative risk frameworks. If you have been looking for a position that bridges rigorous academic output with genuine market impact, this is it. Responsibilities Build ECI's real estate climate risk methodology Design and lead the development of integrated frameworks to assess climate-related financial risk in real estate, covering both transition and physical dimensions. This means understanding the risk transmission channels from hazard or policy shock, through asset-level physical and financial vulnerability, to portfolio-level financial outcomes and translating that chain into models that are both analytically sound and operationally usable by financial institutions. The physical and transition risks shocks will be provided by other team members, so what is required is a deep understanding of how to integrate them. Anchor methodology in real estate financial fundamentals Your framework must speak the language of real estate finance. That means grounding assessments in how climate variables, energy costs, retrofit CapEx, stranded-asset risk, insurance availability, regulatory compliance costs, flow through to valuation, LTV, PD/LGD, and broader portfolio risk metrics. Financial model literacy applied to real estate is central to this role. Develop and adapt quantitative tools Adapt and extend models relevant to the built environment (e.g., CRREM, building archetype/stock models, LCA frameworks) with a focus on understanding the conceptual architecture behind them, the assumptions, boundary conditions, and transmission mechanisms, rather than applying them as black boxes. Integrate EPC/energy label datasets; assess coverage and quality; propose calibration and substitution strategies. Build reproducible, well-documented pipelines. Publish and establish intellectual presence Publish in peer-reviewed scientific and finance journals. You will also contribute to conferences, policy forums, and industry workshops to develop ECI's profile in this space. Be the real estate expert within ECI's broader research ecosystem Work in close collaboration with ECI's other research teams; including climate scenarios, geo-sectoral physical risk, and regulatory intelligence; to integrate real estate perspectives into cross-cutting tools and products. You will be the go-to expert for real estate within the institute, contributing to ECI's flagship tools and shaping how real estate risk is represented across our research agenda. Engage with the financial industry Work directly with financial institutions, real estate operators, and regulators to align ECI's methodologies with evolving regulatory requirements (SFDR, CSRD, EBA guidelines) and practical decision-making workflows. What We Are Looking For Background and training A PhD (or Master's with equivalent research depth) in a quantitative field with strong relevance to the real estate sector and the quantification of its underlying financial risks. We are specifically interested in profiles that combine academic rigour with real-world exposure; whether through PhD research conducted in partnership with industry, post-doctoral work in an applied setting, consultancy experience alongside publication activity, or a transition from practice back into research. Real estate financial modelling Solid understanding of how real estate assets are valued and financed: DCF and income capitalisation approaches, LTV and debt service coverage ratios, PD/LGD frameworks, and how physical or regulatory shocks transmit into these financial metrics. Understanding of climate risk transmission in the built environment Conceptual fluency with how both transition and physical climate risks propagate through real estate assets. On the transition side: how carbon pricing, energy performance regulations, and evolving market preferences interact with operating costs, asset values, and financing conditions. On the physical side: how hazard frequency/severity translates into damage, insurance cost, and asset obsolescence. Deep prior specialisation in one dimension is fine; the capacity to reason rigorously about the other is required. Quantitative and technical skills (recommended) Python (or equivalent) for model development and data analysis. Experience working with building-level or portfolio-level datasets (EPC registries, energy audit data, transaction/valuation data). Familiarity with retrofit economics, abatement cost curves, sequencing of measures, technical/economic feasibility assessment; is a plus. Prior work with CRREM, building archetype models, though what matters most is the ability to understand and critically evaluate the assumptions behind such tools. Communication and collaboration Ability to write clearly for both academic and practitioner audiences; from methods papers to client-facing notes. Comfort working across disciplines (climate science, engineering, economics, data engineering, finance). Track record of, or clear appetite for, collaborative research involving external partners or industry stakeholders.

Quantitative Researcher (Crypto) Location: London / UK‑Time zone (Fully Remote) A specialized digital asset trading firm is seeking a Quantitative Researcher to support alpha research and systematic model development within a multi‑strategy digital asset environment. The team focuses on rigorous quantitative research, robust statistical modeling, and thoughtful construction of orthogonal trading strategies. Ideal candidates are early‑career, highly technical, and motivated by hands‑on model building, signal discovery, and collaborative research workflows. This is a remote (UK‑time zone) role with meaningful ownership from day one. You will independently originate and refine alpha signals, contribute directly to portfolio construction, and work closely with the firm’s Head of Trading in a highly collaborative environment. As you grow, you’ll have the opportunity to take on increased responsibility, including the ability to launch your own trades and drive strategy development end‑to‑end. Role & Responsibilities: • Conduct quantitative research focused on alpha generation, signal development, and statistical modeling., • Build, test, and refine systematic trading models using Python., • Analyze multi‑asset market data to identify inefficiencies, anomalies, and predictive patterns., • Support the creation and enhancement of research pipelines, backtesting frameworks, and model evaluation tools., • Collaborate with senior researchers to iterate on strategy design, model parameters, and portfolio construction., • Contribute ideas to an evolving set of orthogonal strategies designed to perform across diverse market conditions.

A senior leader at one of the firms I work with said something recently that stuck with me: "The median researcher adds zero value." He wasn't being provocative for the sake of it, if you think about it. Most quant researchers at most firms are working on the same low-hanging fruit, on overlapping research, competing internally for the same capacity, hedged into irrelevance by a risk framework designed to protect the platform from them rather than empower them. He went on to describe the kind of person he actually wants to hire, and it was pretty specific: Someone who finds genuine satisfaction in the work itself. Not the comp table (appreciating that no-one works for free, right!), not the brand... Quant researchers who read JVM optimisation papers because they want to understand why their backtest is slow, not just that it's slow. Developers who dig into market microstructure literature because they want to understand what their execution code is actually doing, not just that it works. The kind of person whose curiosity bleeds across disciplines; researchers who think like engineers, engineers who think like traders, because they've figured out that the interesting problems live at the boundaries, not inside the silos. Someone with enough intellectual disagreeableness to challenge assumptions in a room full of people, because they care more about being right than being liked. And critically, someone who has actually delivered something, personally, not just improved or maintained what was already there. If that sounds like something you have thought about, and perhaps at some level agree with, maybe we should chat. The project is this: a proprietary systematic shop with hubs in London and NYC, and satellite locations in Europe and US. What they trade: Futures and Equities. Short-term holding periods, at the higher end of the mid-freq spectrum (or the slower end of the high-frequency spectrum, however you prefer to think of it). Exceptional research and execution infrastructure. Significant investment in GPU infra to enhance ML/AI-driven research. Experience delivering strategies at Sharpe ~2-3+ is the qualifier. If you're currently running strategies at that frequency and wondering why your infrastructure costs eat half your contribution, or why 23 other teams at your firm are crowding the same positions, and think that you'd genuinely be interested in being somewhere that you could add direct value to the top-line within an environment that is demonstrably meritocratic (I have numerous examples of this playing out historically within the firm), it'd be worth getting in touch to find out more. What they don't want: someone optimising for their next move. Someone whose first question is "what's the guarantee?" (we'll chat about it, but if it's the primary motivator, that's probably a self-selector...). Someone who views collaboration as a vulnerability rather than an edge. This firm isn't entirely unique, but it's clear on its strategy. I'm also working with a small number of firms that operate this way. London or NYC as primary hubs, fully remote optionality on the table potentially. If this sounds like the kind of environment where you'd do your best work, we should definitely chat.
