Job Description

At Columbia Threadneedle Investments, the global asset management subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, we are building a world class research team. Research intensity is our foundational principal. We do independent, forward-looking research, in order to anticipate change. We develop our own view of TAM's, growth drivers, moats and competitive positioning. We pick stocks based upon provable, repeatable process. We actively engage with our portfolio managers, our clients, the companies, and industry contacts.

Responsibilities

• Passion for investing: This person brings new ideas, broad perspective, and high energy to the research team to enhance our firm's intellectual capital.
• Super curious: This person wonders -- who, what, where, when and why, and wants to figure it all out. This person loves learning.
• Independent thinker: This person is comfortable doing their own research, developing their own forecasts and coming to their own conclusions without relying upon sell-side or stock price action. This person is comfortable recommending both a consensus and a non-consensus stock.
• Self-starter / competitive / drive to win: There is lots to do. This person is motivated for and excited about the work.
• Open minded: This person is capable of recognizing if there has been a thesis violation (assumptions proved not to be correct, analytical framework no longer valid, etc.), admitting it and moving on.
• Methodical / Process-driven: This person is methodical in going about their work, and embraces a consistent process to pick stocks.
• Good communication skills: We impact portfolios by expressing our ideas verbally and in written notes and slide decks. This person is a good teacher and communicator of their ideas.
• Modeling: We do our own models. This person is comfortable building, updating and using models as part of their investment process.
• Team Player / Collaborative: We work with our colleagues across the firm consistently - portfolio managers, equity, fixed income, data science, responsible investment, sales, marketing. This person enjoys collaborating as part of a team.
