Public Markets Research Analyst

About the Opportunity We are a private family office in Doha seeking a Public Markets Research Analyst to own research and idea generation across US and global developed-market equities for our public markets allocation. This is a high-visibility, high-ownership role: you will work directly with the Principal, with no layers between your analysis and the investment decision. This is a front-office public markets position: liquid, listed securities, daily market pricing and active portfolio decisions. It is not a private equity, venture capital, M&A or investment banking deal-execution role. The role combines deep fundamental research with quantitative and systematic methods, plus working knowledge of fund vehicles (ETFs, mutual funds, hedge funds) for both direct security selection and manager due diligence. We want someone who has run institutional-grade process at a hedge fund, asset manager, bank or offshore research team serving global clients, and who is excited to apply it in a lean, fast-moving, principal-led environment.
