PDT Partners, a quantitative investment manager, seeks an analytical, detail and team oriented Corporate Accountant to join our management company’s accounting team. This is a great opportunity to hone existing accounting, analysis, and reporting skills, while diving deeply into the financial operations of a global hedge fund.
Sitting at the center of PDT’s business operations, the Corporate Accountant will work closely with almost every team at PDT, on both budgeting and financial planning, as well as ad-hoc analysis projects.

Why join us? PDT Partners has a stellar 25+ year track record and a reputation for excellence. Our goal is to be the best quantitative investment manager in the world—measured by the quality of our funds, not their size. PDT’s extremely high employee-retention rate speaks for itself. Our people are intellectually exceptional and our community is close-knit, down-to-earth, and diverse. We value your intelligence, creativity, and tenacity more than direct prior experience.
