- Advance the firm's understanding of event-driven situations by developing deep, context-rich views that provide informational edge over the market.
- Own situations end-to-end, maintaining a running view as facts and narratives evolve.
- Monitor and interpret new information as it emerges, exercising judgment to distinguish signal from noise and clearly communicate what matters, what does not, and how it changes the decision set/probability tree.

Requirements
- Prior experience (5 years+) in information and flows-driven research or trading, within a tier1 buy-side or proprietary trading environment.

- Comfort engaging with a wide range of event-driven situations, requiring intellectual curiosity and the ability to quickly build conviction across diverse topics.
- Deep crypto experience is not required, but genuine intellectual curiosity about the space and a credible path to ramping up quickly is preferred.
Desired Attributes
- Ability to go deep into details when required, while maintaining a holistic view of the situation and its implications.
- Comfort with rigorous debate, constructive challenge, and the ability to collaborate effectively across research, trading, and engineering teams.
