Role Overview
We have partnered with
tier-1 alternative investment manager
looking to hire a
Strategy Associate
to join their Zurich-based Quant team. This newly created role sits at the intersection of business & operational strategy, cross-functional coordination, and communication-supporting the Head of the Quant team in translating technical initiatives into clear, actionable narratives across the firm's European insurance platform.

This is a high-impact opportunity for someone who combines analytical acumen with strong communication skills and enjoys working across disciplines in a dynamic, globally integrated environment.

The position is best suited to candidates with 2-6 years of experience in investment banking, consulting, or other client-facing financial services roles, especially those who have worked closely with technical or investment teams and are comfortable operating across both strategic and operational dimensions.

EU or Swiss citizenship preferred due to location-specific considerations
Key Responsibilities
Strategic Planning & Communication

  • Translate complex quantitative and investment initiatives into clear, structured narratives tailored to internal and external stakeholders
  • Draft business updates, strategy decks, and summary materials that explain the Quant team's priorities, workflows, and value-add to the broader platform
  • Coordinate with global counterparts across the US, Germany, and other European offices to ensure strategic alignment

Business & Client Strategy

  • Partner with the Head of Quant to manage strategic planning, including project prioritization, resource allocation, and budget tracking
  • Track progress against key milestones such as new client onboarding, AUM growth, and regulatory readiness.
  • Contribute to the preparation of materials for LP capital raises, third-party client pitches, and internal business reviews.

Regulatory & Analytical Exposure

  • Develop a foundational understanding of European insurance regulation, particularly Solvency II Standard Formula and Matching Adjustment frameworks
  • Help interpret regulatory changes and articulate their strategic implications for the Quant team and broader investment function.

Cross-Team Coordination

  • Serve as a connector across internal investment teams, as well as client relations, risk, ALM, and private debt (to name a few)
  • Ensure clear communication and alignment across geographies, disciplines, and stakeholder groups.

Requirements & Qualifications

  • 2-6 years of relevant experience in one or more of the following:

  • Investment banking or private banking, ideally in a client-facing or analytical capacity

  • Strategy consulting, preferably within financial services

  • Quantitative or finance-adjacent roles with significant communication and presentation responsibilities

  • Strong analytical capabilities and comfort working with numbers, including financial modelling and data interpretation

  • Exceptional communication skills-both written and verbal-with a proven ability to translate complex content into accessible messaging
  • Highly organised, detail-oriented, and capable of managing multiple projects across timelines and stakeholders
  • Strong proficiency in PowerPoint and Excel; familiarity with business planning or investor-facing material creation a plus
  • Proactive, relationship-driven mindset and ability to operate effectively with senior leadership
