This analyst will have an opportunity to work on everything that more senior team members lack the bandwidth to manage. This will mean lots of work, but also exposure to everything that Ellington does to support its various trading strategies.

For the applicant unsure of what hedge funds even do, but confident in their work ethic and intelligence, this is an opportunity to enter a demanding industry with a chance to grow. The position will be located at our office in New York, NY.
