Event Driven Research Analyst | Experienced Hire

As an analyst on Susquehanna’s Research team, you will partner with our senior analysts and traders to identify investment opportunities in the equity or options market. Research analysts provide real-time opinions on breaking news and in-depth analysis of future events.

You will experience this dedication to training as you work collaboratively with the research analysts and traders on your desk to gain hands-on exposure.
