The Opportunity As a Market Analyst (Macro) at Nascent, you'll work directly with Market Strategists to keep both the system running and the thinking sharp. You'll own the reliability of trading workflows — monitoring systems, ensuring signals are clean as they move from idea to execution — while staying close to the market itself, tracking global macro developments, identifying what matters, and helping turn raw information into actionable signals. The role sits at the intersection of execution and research. Over time, you'll build judgment in both — developing a feel for how systems operate and how macro views translate into trades. This role is for people who want to learn how to think about markets properly. You'll get direct exposure to how raw information becomes views, how those views become trades, and where most people get it wrong. You should already be deep into macro — not "interested," but involved — and have proof of that through something you've built, traded, or explored on your own. If you do this well, it directly improves how the team processes information, makes decisions, and executes trades. This role operates fully onsite in our Montreal office. Relocation assistance is provided. What You'll Do • Own the reliability of the trading system end-to-end — from data pipelines and inputs to trade readiness and execution workflows, ensuring nothing breaks between idea and execution. • Track global macro in real time and surface signal early — across central banks, inflation, growth, commodities, and geopolitics, with a focus on what actually moves markets. • Contribute directly to trade thinking — research macro themes, cross-asset relationships, and positioning across indices, rates, and commodities, and communicate insights clearly to strategists. • Build and improve the team's tooling and workflows — dashboards, pipelines, and internal systems that make decision-making faster and sharper. • Use AI and language models to operate at maximum leverage — automating workflows, accelerating research, and extending your thinking beyond manual limits. • Take ownership of targeted projects as your judgment develops — from research questions to system improvements — and contribute meaningfully to strategy discussions over time. About You • You have a genuine interest in macroeconomics and geopolitics — you follow central banks, inflation, and global risk because you want to, not because a job description told you to. • You think top-down — how global forces impact asset classes, not just individual securities. • You've done something with that interest — tracking data, building models, writing, trading, or running your own experiments. You can point to it. • You're detail-oriented — in a system-driven environment, small mistakes compound quickly and you understand why that matters. • You're curious and learn fast — you don't wait to be told what to do, you form your own views and pressure-test them. • You communicate clearly — you can break down complex ideas into simple, actionable insights without losing the nuance. • You're comfortable with ambiguity and pace — macro environments shift quickly, narratives break often, and you thrive in that. • You have a bias toward building and improving systems, not just analyzing outputs. Required Experience • 1–2 years of experience in markets, research, trading, or a related analytical role (internships count if the work was real and substantive). • Demonstrated ability to synthesize large amounts of macro information into clear, actionable outputs — not just summaries, but views. • Working proficiency with data tools (Excel/Google Sheets minimum; Python or SQL is a plus). • Evidence that you actively follow macro markets — we will ask you what you think is happening and why. Nice to Have • Experience analyzing or trading macro products (indices, rates, commodities, FX). • Experience applying data analysis or AI tools to macro or market problems. • Experience building dashboards, pipelines, or lightweight data infrastructure. • Familiarity with cross-asset relationships and macro-driven market regimes. • A side project, writing sample, or portfolio that shows how you think about macro markets independently.
