About this role

The Opportunity

As a Market Analyst (Macro) at Nascent, you'll work directly with Market Strategists to keep both the system running and the thinking sharp. You'll own the reliability of trading workflows — monitoring systems, ensuring signals are clean as they move from idea to execution — while staying close to the market itself, tracking global macro developments, identifying what matters, and helping turn raw information into actionable signals. The role sits at the intersection of execution and research. Over time, you'll build judgment in both — developing a feel for how systems operate and how macro views translate into trades.

This role is for people who want to learn how to think about markets properly. You'll get direct exposure to how raw information becomes views, how those views become trades, and where most people get it wrong. You should already be deep into macro — not "interested," but involved — and have proof of that through something you've built, traded, or explored on your own. If you do this well, it directly improves how the team processes information, makes decisions, and executes trades.

This role operates fully onsite in our Montreal office. Relocation assistance is provided.

What You'll Do • Own the reliability of the trading system end-to-end — from data pipelines and inputs to trade readiness and execution workflows, ensuring nothing breaks between idea and execution. • Track global macro in real time and surface signal early — across central banks, inflation, growth, commodities, and geopolitics, with a focus on what actually moves markets. • Contribute directly to trade thinking — research macro themes, cross-asset relationships, and positioning across indices, rates, and commodities, and communicate insights clearly to strategists. • Build and improve the team's tooling and workflows — dashboards, pipelines, and internal systems that make decision-making faster and sharper. • Use AI and language models to operate at maximum leverage — automating workflows, accelerating research, and extending your thinking beyond manual limits. • Take ownership of targeted projects as your judgment develops — from research questions to system improvements — and contribute meaningfully to strategy discussions over time.

About You • You have a genuine interest in macroeconomics and geopolitics — you follow central banks, inflation, and global risk because you want to, not because a job description told you to. • You think top-down — how global forces impact asset classes, not just individual securities. • You've done something with that interest — tracking data, building models, writing, trading, or running your own experiments. You can point to it. • You're detail-oriented — in a system-driven enviro
