At CI, we see a great place to work as one that is a safe place for everyone to have a voice, where people are empowered to take ownership over meaningful work, where there is an opportunity to grow through stretching themselves, where they can work on innovative products and projects, and where employees are supported and engaged in doing so. 

While broad expertise is not required, candidates must demonstrate strong proficiency in SQL and data fundamentals, along with credible depth in investment analytics or quantitative/risk foundations (ideally both).

Performance & Risk Reporting & Dashboarding

• Develop and maintain recurring performance, risk, product, and portfolio analytics reports for investment leadership.

• Support competitive and peer analysis to inform portfolio construction and product positioning.

Enable Automation and Scalable Analytics

• Contribute to automation initiatives and tooling that enhance the efficiency and sustainability of analytics and reporting workflows.

• Support the evolution toward more technology-enabled, self‑serve analytics for investment and product teams.

Strengthen Data Quality and Platform Foundations

• Collaborate with data engineering and technology partners to define business logic, document requirements, validate implementations, and drive consistency in business rules and definitions.

• Contribute to data quality checks, controls, and metadata/lineage improvements across analytics processes.

Conduct Targeted and Strategic Analysis

• Execute ad hoc deep‑dive analyses to support strategic initiatives, or address questions from senior investment and product leadership.

• Communicate findings clearly, with emphasis on assumptions, logic, and decision relevance.

Communicate and Document with Precision

• Produce clear, structured documentation that is testable and implementable by data engineering teams.

• Present analytical outcomes in concise, stakeholder‑friendly language.

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline (e.g., Finance, Economics, Mathematics, Statistics, Data Science, Data Engineering) or equivalent practical experience.

• 7 years of relevant experience in investment analytics, portfolio analytics, performance/risk analytics, or data-driven investment support—preferably within an asset manager or asset owner environment.

• Strong quantitative reasoning and comfort working with imperfect or incomplete data while maintaining analytical rigor.
