Born of an entrepreneurial spirit, Prescient is a systematic investment manager known for exceptional quantitative expertise. We travel in our own lane, to the beat of our own drum: rigorous, thorough, meticulous, because our business is creating certainty for the clients who trust us with their financial future. You will work among 30+ interdisciplinary investment professionals and data scientists carrying 300+ years of combined experience and a deep bench of advanced degrees (Master’s, PhD, CFA, FRM). We hire A-players: self-starters who chase mastery, argue from facts, and are quietly confident without arrogance, and we hand them real responsibility early. We are AI-native by conviction, not fashion. We think automating the routine raises the value of human judgment rather than replacing it, so we pour effort into building systems that run themselves, and we reserve our people for the calls a system cannot make. We do the groundwork, we think long-term, and we are accountable for our own numbers. This role is that ethic made into a job. The best fit is a builder who wants to own what they build: someone who has spent years producing excellent work and is now drawn to being the trusted, accountable authority over a domain: building the machinery, then standing behind the truth it produces. You will have the autonomy to shape the systems, the mandate to own them, and colleagues who will challenge you in rigorous, fact-based debate and share their knowledge freely. Break the mould. Create the future.
