Equity Analyst – Single Manager Hedge Fund (European Activist) – London | London, UK | Flexible

Octavius Finance • London, England, GB • 4m ago

A leading European activist hedge fund is actively seeking a high-calibre Equity Analyst to join its lean, high-performing team. This is a rare opportunity to work in a dynamic, entrepreneurial environment with direct exposure to decision-makers and portfolio construction.

The Role:

You will play a key role in driving fundamental research and investment ideas across European equities, with a strong focus on under-researched, undervalued, or strategically misaligned companies. This role offers real ownership, deep company engagement, and the chance to contribute directly to an activist investment strategy.

Key Responsibilities:
• Generate and develop high-conviction equity investment ideas across a broad range of European sectors (generalist coverage). • Conduct deep-dive fundamental analysis, financial modelling, valuation, and scenario testing. • Track, monitor and update investment theses, including ongoing contact with company management and stakeholders. • Support activist engagement strategies and develop persuasive, well-reasoned arguments to unlock shareholder value. • Collaborate closely with a small, senior team in a flat and fast-moving structure.

Candidate Profile:
• 2-3 years’ buyside experience, ideally within a long/short equity fund, family office, or activist-focused investment firm. • A strong track record analysing European listed companies, with a preference for generalist coverage. • You must have exposure to activist strategies. • Strong commercial instincts, excellent financial modelling skills, and the confidence to defend your views at the highest level. • Entrepreneurial mindset with the resilience to work autonomously in a lean team structure.

If this role sounds interesting and in line with your experience,

please apply for the role by sending your CV in WORD format to fundmanagement@octaviusfinance.com
