Ares is seeking a Quantitative Product lead to help define and deliver the product strategy for quantitative investment technology across the firm’s global investment platform.
The role sits within Investment Technology Product Management and serves as the product liaison to Ares’ global quantitative teams, including Ares’ Quantitative Research teams, recognizing that these teams have distinct investment objectives, research methods, tooling requirements, and coverage across a diverse universe of assets, funds, portfolios, and other securities.
In addition to supporting the quant groups directly, the role will act as a catalyst for extending relevant quantitative tools, techniques, data practices, and analytical capabilities into other Ares asset classes and business lines. The individual will identify where proven approaches can be adapted and scaled horizontally, helping embed the quant teams more deeply into the wider organization and increasing the contribution of these functions to investment decision-making across the firm.
The Quantitative Product lead will own product activities from workflow discovery and use-case definition through prioritization, solution design, delivery, adoption, and value realization. The role will assess the process, data, model, and application landscape; distinguish common capabilities from strategy-specific requirements; and determine when solutions should be built, bought, reused, or adapted across teams.
The successful candidate will combine strong product judgment with sufficient quantitative and technical depth to understand models, data dependencies, investment context, and to work effectively with quantitative engineers and investment professionals.
