About the Role
The Louisville, KY position owns a falsifiable research idea from point-in-time data construction through out-of-sample evaluation. Its working schedule covers Eastern Time coordination of daily research checks, live decisions, and final reconciliation. You will work with a small group of specialists and preserve enough evidence for another person to challenge every material decision.
Louisville Operating Focus
The Louisville opening emphasizes repeatable controls, well-defined ownership, and concise cross-functional review. The day starts with a short list of required research and operating checks rather than a broad status meeting. Live exceptions use defined severity and ownership rules. Final reconciliation closes completed work, preserves evidence for material decisions, and prevents an unresolved item from disappearing when responsibility moves to another person. For this role, that means direct ownership of equity-signal validation, sector diagnostics, and regime review during Eastern Time coordination of daily research checks, live decisions, and final reconciliation.
First Review Cycle
For the first complete work cycle in Louisville, KY, you will use Eastern Time coordination of daily research checks, live decisions, and final reconciliation to test how the team measures and escalates changes in equity-signal validation, sector diagnostics, and regime review. One required check is: Present both favorable and unfavorable results to the investment team. The next required check is: Form hypotheses and build clean point-in-time equity datasets. The Louisville opening emphasizes repeatable controls, well-defined ownership, and concise cross-functional review. You will identify any assumption that remains untested after both checks. Completion requires a repeatable evidence path, a clear response boundary, and a time for the next check. Those records must connect directly to a falsifiable research idea from point-in-time data construction through out-of-sample evaluation.
