Role Overview As an Associate Quantitative Strategist (Strat) within the Core Planning and Analysis Strats team, you will focus on two complementary mandates: (1) the design, development, and implementation of quantitative models to drive Budget Planning & Management — modeling and forecasting revenues, expenses, and balance sheet dynamics — and (2) the design and engineering of AI agents to automate analysis, reporting, and decision support across the planning lifecycle.

You will build and deploy scalable solutions in the Cloud, primarily in Python, with opportunities to contribute to our growing adoption of Rust for performance-critical scientific computing.

This position is at the Associate level and is highly suited for recent PhD graduates looking to apply advanced mathematical, statistical, and computational techniques to real-world corporate planning and financial forecasting challenges, and to develop deep expertise in building AI agents for automated analysis.

Job Duties Design, develop, implement, and document advanced quantitative models and scenarios for time-series forecasting of revenues, expenses, and balance sheet items. Incorporate a broad range of economic, financial, and business variables to address practical issues in budget planning and management, and conduct uncertainty quantification.

Develop and deploy Statistical and explainable Machine Learning (ML) models for event prediction and forecasting. Derive actionable insights to support corporate strategy, budget planning, regulatory compliance, and internal governance reviews.

Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders across business divisions, Finance, Risk, and other core corporate departments. Translate complex user needs into precise model specifications, analytical metrics, interactive dashboards, and comprehensive reports tailored for senior leadership and operational teams.

Execute the end-to-end model development lifecycle, encompassing data collection, exploratory data analysis, feature engineering, variable selection, model selection, hyperparameter tuning, validation, and scalable deployment on the Cloud.

Design and engineer Artificial Intelligence (AI) agentic systems to deliver analytical, data science, and reporting capabilities through both interactive and batch reporting interfaces. Manage agent orchestration, context management, knowledge base integration, tool calling, and overall AI lifecycle management.

Conduct rigorous simulation studies, provide theoretical justifications, and perform model performance testing. Create and maintain comprehensive technical documentation to support Model Risk Management (MRM) reviews, facilitate finding remediation, and ensure ongoing model monitoring.

Minimum Education & Experience Requirements Required field of study (U.S. or foreign equivalent, for all paths below):
Statistics, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or a related quantitative field.

PhD graduates with strong academic research backgrounds are highly preferred, but we will also consider experienced Masters and Bachelors. We value contributions to open source projects, publications, and other work and activities that provide evidence of exceptional ability.

Special Skills Required to Perform the Job Prior experience — satisfied through professional work or, for PhD candidates, graduate-level research, coursework, or dissertation work — must demonstrate the following:

Programming

Languages:

Strong proficiency in Python.

Experience with — or interest in developing — Rust (or C++) for performance-critical numerical code is a plus and aligns with the team's strategic direction.
