The Problem Every major enterprise procurement deal - a mining company locking in steel supply, a manufacturer negotiating energy contracts, a retailer securing food commodities - lives or dies on one question: what will this cost six months from now? Today, that question is answered with spreadsheets, gut instinct, and analyst reports written days after markets have already moved. Billions of dollars in value are left on the table - or surrendered across the negotiating table - because procurement teams are flying blind on price. At Monq, we're building AI agents that negotiate high-value enterprise contracts - and we're expanding what that platform can do. The next frontier is price intelligence: giving procurement teams the foresight to know what a deal should cost before they even sit down to negotiate. That's what you'll build. What You'll Build This is genuinely 0-to-1. There is no existing model, no data pipeline, no baseline to iterate on. You're starting from a blank sheet - which means you'll need to be comfortable with ambiguity, scrappy about data sourcing, and confident making architectural decisions without a committee to approve them. In return, everything you build will matter immediately, and you'll own it completely. Concretely, you will: • Build multivariate commodity price prediction models from scratch. You'll work across energy, metals, agricultural inputs, and industrial materials — constructing models that capture the full complexity of cross-commodity dependencies, supply chain dynamics, macroeconomic signals, and geopolitical risk. This isn't univariate time series. This is structured, high-dimensional, real-world forecasting at a level that actually moves enterprise decisions., • Own the full modelling lifecycle. Feature engineering, model selection, validation strategy, uncertainty quantification, production deployment. You'll make the calls and live with the results - which means you'll learn fast., • Design forecasting architectures that go beyond the obvious. We're not looking for someone who fits an ARIMA model and calls it done. We want someone who knows when to reach for Gaussian processes, gradient-boosted ensembles, neural state-space models, or hybrid symbolic-statistical approaches - and, critically, knows why., • Integrate alternative data sources. Satellite imagery, shipping data, weather signals, procurement index feeds, news sentiment — the edge is often in the signal no one else has thought to use. You'll identify and incorporate these into production-grade pipelines., • Shape how predictions become decisions. The end goal is for your models to inform what Monq recommends inside live procurement negotiations. Getting there requires working closely with product and engineering - translating probabilistic outputs into something a procurement professional can act on in the moment, not just admire in a dashboard., • Bridge research and engineering to ship production-grade systems. You won't be throwing models over the fence. You'll work in close collaboration with our engineering team to take research from notebook to production - defining clean interfaces, writing model-serving code that engineers can build on, and making sure what you've validated in a research context actually holds up in a live enterprise environment. The expectation is that your work ships, not just publishes. You Might Be a Fit If • You have 6+ years of experience in applied data science or quantitative research, with a strong track record in forecasting or time series modelling in production environments (an ongoing PhD or track record of research would be wonderful to have), • You've worked on commodity, energy, or financial market price prediction - you understand basis risk, seasonality, mean-reversion, and regime shifts intuitively, • You're fluent in multivariate modelling: VAR/VECM, Bayesian hierarchical models, factor models, LSTM/transformer-based temporal architectures - and you can speak clearly to the tradeoffs between them, • You're rigorous about uncertainty. You know the difference between epistemic and aleatoric uncertainty, and you build that distinction into how you communicate predictions to stakeholders, • You're comfortable working with messy, heterogeneous, real-world data — incomplete time series, mixed frequencies, structural breaks, and sources that require significant wrangling before they're useful, • You can write production-quality Python and know how to deploy models in a way that engineers can actually build on, • You care about impact, not just accuracy metrics. A model that moves a negotiation outcome is worth more than one that wins a Kaggle leaderboard Nice to Have • Experience with causal inference methods applied to market dynamics (synthetic control, difference-in-differences, IV), • Familiarity with procurement indices (PPI, ISM, commodity spot/futures markets) and how to incorporate forward curve data, • Experience building real-time or near-real-time inference pipelines at scale, • Background in operations research or supply chain optimisation, • Exposure to LLMs as signal sources — extracting structured market intelligence from unstructured text ML Skills We're Looking For This role sits at the intersection of classical econometrics and modern machine learning. You don't need to be a world-class expert in every area below - but you should be genuinely strong across most of them and honest about where you want to grow. • Supervised & Ensemble Methods. Gradient-boosted trees (XGBoost, LightGBM, CatBoost) for tabular forecasting; understanding of when tree-based models outperform neural approaches on structured data, and vice versa. Strong intuition for regularisation, hyperparameter tuning, and avoiding leakage in time series cross-validation., • Deep Learning for Sequences. Hands-on experience with temporal architectures - LSTMs, GRUs, Temporal Fusion Transformers, N-BEATS, or similar. Understanding of attention mechanisms and when transformer-based sequence models are worth the complexity cost over simpler recurrent approaches., • Probabilistic & Bayesian Modelling. Comfort with probabilistic forecasting: quantile regression, conformal prediction, Monte Carlo dropout, or full Bayesian inference via PyMC or NumPyro. The ability to communicate uncertainty intervals credibly to non-technical stakeholders is as important as computing them correctly., • Feature Engineering at Scale. Lag features, rolling statistics, Fourier transforms for seasonality decomposition, target encoding with temporal leakage guards, embeddings for categorical market variables. You understand that the quality of your features usually matters more than the choice of model., • Model Evaluation & Validation. Walk-forward validation, purged k-fold cross-validation, backtesting under realistic execution constraints. You know why naive train/test splits are dangerous in time series and what to do about it., • MLOps & Productionisation. Experience taking models from notebook to production: experiment tracking (MLflow, W&B), model versioning, feature stores, drift detection, and retraining triggers. You can build a model that doesn't just work once - it works reliably over time as markets evolve., • Explainability & Interpretability. SHAP values, partial dependence plots, and the ability to explain model behaviour to procurement professionals who need to trust and act on predictions. Black-box accuracy means nothing if the model can't be interrogated when it's wrong. The Stack You'll have significant input into tooling choices: experiment tracking, feature stores, deployment infrastructure. We have strong engineering support and ship on AWS, but we're building the MLOps layer on the go and you'll help define it. We use AI coding tools - Cursor and Claude Code - as part of the daily workflow, not as a novelty. Why This Is a Rare Opportunity Most data science roles hand you a well-defined problem with existing pipelines and ask you to improve on a baseline. This one doesn't. There is no baseline. You'll spend real time figuring out what data is available, what's worth acquiring, and what's even feasible to predict - before writing a single model. That's harder than most JDs admit. But it also means your decisions have a direct and permanent impact on the direction of the feature we are developing. The procurement market is a $4.2 trillion opportunity that existing AI solutions have almost entirely ignored. If you can build something that genuinely predicts commodity price movements - even imperfectly, even partially - it changes what Monq can offer enterprise customers and how we compete. This is the kind of problem that a good data scientist can spend years on and still find interesting. About Monq Monq is building the first AI platform purpose-built for strategic procurement negotiation. We're early-stage and moving fast — backed by executives from Revolut and HSBC, working with enterprise customers, and actively building the team that will define what this product becomes. We're a small, flat team. We use AI tools not as a novelty but because they make us better and faster. We value simplicity, ownership, and shipping — and we're looking for people who hold themselves to high standards while staying pragmatic about what matters right now.

We are looking to meet candidates at all levels: Analyst, Senior Analyst, Associate, Senior Associate, Associate Director, and Director. Part of our screening process is a 200-question personality test and work philosophy test built by our team. Responsibilities: • Conduct initial candidate outreach and in-person screening to determine candidate fit as per position specifications, • Develop sourcing strategies for roles, gather competitive intelligence, and assist in targeted sourcing structures to build market maps, • Utilise Streak (CRM), LinkedIn, Google Suite, and third party data and job boards to track candidates and workflow, • Conduct detailed screening and briefing of candidates on responsibilities, salary, and benefits, • Prepare CVs, submission documents, dashboards, and client updates for live searches, • Manage interviews, tests, and feedback communication with candidates and clients, • Maintain a good understanding of clients and industry markets, • Stay updated on best practices in sourcing tools and technologies, • Maintain data quality and accuracy in internal databases

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.

We are currently recruiting 2 PhD students for October 2026 entry, as part of a BBSRC-funded Industrial Doctoral Landscape Award. Please get in touch if interested and apply via the links below. Note: Due to funding requirements, these positions are open to candidates eligible for UK Home fees only. PhD Project 1 Oral Microbiome's role in nitric oxide production Nitric oxide is critical for cardiovascular health, and its production depends on oral bacteria converting dietary nitrate. But in real biofilms, this pathway is far from straightforward. Microbes don’t just “reduce nitrate”, in real communities, they compete, cooperate, and reroute nitrate through alternative pathways depending on their environment. This project will uncover the rules governing that behaviour. This project will combine ex vivo oral biofilm models, systematic microbial co-culture screens, stable isotope tracing and multi-omics approaches (metagenomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics) to identify how microbial interactions and environmental factors such as oxygen, pH and nutrient availability influence nitrate metabolism. The student will receive interdisciplinary training in: • Oral biofilm modelling, • Anaerobic microbiology, • Stable isotope probing and metabolic flux analysis, • Multi-omics data integration and systems biology Students benefit from a 4-year tax-free London-weighted UKRI stipend plus £3,000 annual industry uplift, cross-institutional training, and specialist isotope training at the University of Glasgow. Applicants should have a strong background in microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, bioinformatics, chemistry, or related disciplines. PhD Project 2 Oral–Systemic Links: Periodontal Microbes and the Blood–Brain Barrier Large population studies link periodontitis with cognitive decline and dementia, but the underlying biological mechanisms remain poorly understood. Emerging evidence suggests that metabolites produced by periodontal pathogens, including Porphyromonas gingivalis, may directly affect vascular and neurological function. This interdisciplinary project will combine microbial–endothelial co-culture models, transcriptomics, molecular and cellular assays, and human microbiome and metabolomic data integration to identify pathways through which oral microbial metabolites influence BBB function. The student will: • Investigate how microbial metabolites affect endothelial signalling and BBB integrity, • Apply RNA-seq, immunohistochemistry and targeted pathway inhibition approaches, • Integrate clinical microbiome, metabolomic and immune datasets, • Test functional effects of human serum on BBB models The studentship provides a 4-year tax-free London-weighted UKRI stipend plus £3,000 annual industry uplift, interdisciplinary training and opportunities to work at the interface of microbiology, neuroscience, vascular biology and clinical research.

The work This is a systematic quant researcher role within a cross-asset trading environment spanning holding periods from hours to weeks. You will own the full research pipeline: signal generation, testing, portfolio-level analysis, and work with live capital. The asset universe is broad: equities, futures, FX, credit, commodities, and ETF structures all feature. The problems are genuinely hard: signal decay, regime sensitivity, execution friction, and cross-asset correlation structure all matter here. You will be expected to form views, test them rigorously, and defend them. The infrastructure You will have access to data and compute infrastructure at a scale very few firms can match. Research here is not constrained by tooling. It is constrained by the quality of your ideas. How the team operates Research here is a shared endeavour, not a collection of siloed books. Every researcher has full visibility into every active strategy's code. There are no black boxes, no protected territories. The expectation is that collective understanding produces better research than individual ownership. Strategies are sized for their contribution to the portfolio as a whole, not as standalone entities. That means your work is evaluated at the system level, which rewards researchers who think carefully about covariance, capacity, and cross-strategy interaction, not just isolated backtest Sharpe. What we're looking for You have 3-6 years of experience in a systematic trading environment, a hedge fund, prop trading firm, or closely related research role. You have built and shipped predictive models against real market data, not just in simulation. Core requirements: • Strong statistical foundations: time-series analysis, factor modelling, signal research, • Python proficiency; C++ experience strongly preferred (you will be interacting with C++ day to day), • Experience across more than one asset class, or a clear track record in one with genuine appetite to work cross-asset, • Ability to take a research idea from hypothesis to backtested strategy to production-ready code, • Comfort operating in an environment where your work is visible and subject to peer scrutiny The right mindset: You are intellectually honest about what your models do and don't explain. You are more interested in understanding market structure than in protecting alpha. You find the idea of a shared codebase appealing rather than threatening. Where? London is a focus area, but realistically anywhere across the major financial hubs (NYC, Singapore, Hong Kong, Chicago).
