This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2433 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £55,100, and Saragossa is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 2431 (Management consultants and business analysts, Quant developer index entry fits if engineering focus dominates) or SOC 2422 (Finance and investment analysts and advisers, Equity research analyst if role is more analysis than modelling). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
About the role
The back bone of this firms success
Arguably the most successful hedge fund ever is adding to its London equities team.
The broad mandate is to uncover more ways for the long/short equities PM's to increase the PnL.
You'll likely be coming from either a buy or sell-side environment. If you've stepped away from this (e.g. into big tech) and have a willingness to come back would also work.
You'll be part of a small central team supporting the firms equities portfolio managers and analysts.
You'll work directly with business leadership and portfolio managers to make decisions about risk, portfolio construction, and the broader investment process, directly impacting returns.
You'll be coming from a highly technical background with a degree or direct experience in maths and stats or financial economics with strong engineering / computer science disciplines.
Finally, you'll be bringing your risk factor modelling experience whilst having the understanding of Portfolio Manager behaviour and asset allocation exposure.
The role requires a three-pillared approach - quantitative intuition, being a truly technical contributor and the communication skills to work closely with the business.
- Relocation packages available if you're outside of London
- Industry-leading total compensation
- Bonus buyouts

About sponsorship for this role
Does this job guarantee visa sponsorship?
Not necessarily. Saragossa holds a sponsor licence, but sponsorship for a specific hire is always the employer's decision. Be upfront in your application that you'll require it.
What salary is needed for this role to be eligible?
The offer must clear both the general threshold and the SOC 2433 going rate of £55,100. New-entrant and shortage discounts can lower it.
