Financial Analyst

 

We’re looking for world-class front-office Financial Analysts to join our mission at Arcana—a next-generation portfolio intelligence company powering hedge funds, and asset managers. This role isn’t your typical modeling-and-memos analyst gig. Our analysts work hand-in-hand with product, engineering, and data science to build the future of institutional-grade finance software. Work experience in buy-side financial institutions or top-tier investment banks, and strong Excel skills are a necessity.

If you’re passionate about numbers but thrive at the intersection of finance, technology, and quantitative thinking, this is the role for you.

Responsibilities:

• Presentation and analysis of data utilizing charts, tables, and Excel.
• Analyzing financial reports, market, and asset performance to draw useful takeaways in the frame of an investor.
• Interpreting information about yield, price, risk, stability, and other factors that contribute to a financial asset's investment merits.
• Deep understanding of quantitative risk modeling to innovate and improve upon our commercial risk model & portfolio analytics.
• Conducting unit economic and financial analysis.
• Working closely with the data engineering and data science team to interpret, check, and source relevant metrics and data.

Requirements:

• Top-tier pedigree: Bachelor’s or Master's degree with honors (8.0+ GPA mandatory). Ideally from an IIT/IIM/top global university. MBA/CFA/FRM is a strong plus.
• 2+ years of experience in a front-office financial role (typically, Investment Banking, or Investment Due Diligence).
• Must have strong communication skills (verbal and written).
• Methodical, concise, and accurate work style, with strong attention to detail and deadlines.
• Able to quickly learn and apply technical understanding to solve problems.
• An aptitude and interest in quantitative risk management, information technology, and the latest trends.
• Conscientious and focused on objectives with an attitude, and with written and verbal communication.
• Sound experience in data analysis, validation, and presentation of results (MS Excel).

Preferred locations: Remote, Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, or Coimbatore are a plus.
