About the role

Prudential Financial, Inc. invites a Director of Quantitative Equity Research to join PGIM's Global Asset Management team. You will lead research to develop stock-selection signals and enhance investment processes for superior risk-adjusted returns. You will source datasets, publish white papers, and present findings to internal teams and clients, while collaborating with top researchers in a dynamic setting. A PhD is preferred; 5+ years in quantitative investing and Python skills are essential.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
