Join to apply for the Senior Associate / VP of Investment Analytics role at Pivotal Life Sciences.

Position overview

We are seeking a Senior Associate of Investment Analytics to join our dynamic investment team at Pivotal Life Sciences.

You will play a crucial role in assessing investment opportunities, analyzing market trends, and collaborating closely with our data science team to develop AI-driven tools that enhance investment decision‑making and returns. For an exceptional candidate with prior investment experience this could potentially be a Vice President rather than Senior Associate position.
