As a forward thinking asset manager, we build dynamic relationships with clients, understand their goals, and navigate complex markets together. We leverage cutting edge strategies and deep insights to unlock opportunities for long term wealth creation. Our talented, global teams bring expertise that is both broad and unique.

From our welcoming, inclusive, and supportive culture to our globally diverse business, we offer opportunities not only to help you reach your potential, but also to contribute to our clients’ success.

About the Department

Putnam Investments, an investment management group of Franklin Templeton, is a diversified, fundamental active equity asset manager with roots dating back to 1937. We manage a range of active equity portfolios and our stock-driven rather than style-driven approach is designed to produce consistent outperformance, regardless of market environment. As of December 31st, 2025, the firm managed over $162 billion in assets under management.
We are seeking a Quantitative Research Associate to join our investment team. This is an entry-level role designed for individuals with strong analytical,
programming and database management skills who are interested in applying quantitative methods within a fundamentally driven investment process.
You will support portfolio managers and research analysts by providing data analysis, developing tools, and assisting with portfolio analytics and quantitative research. This position provides a strong foundation for a career in asset management, combining technical skill development with direct insight into the investment-making process.

How You Will Add Value

Assist in developing and maintaining quantitative tools to support fundamental stock selection and portfolio construction.
Help build and maintain databases, screening tools, and factor models to complement fundamental research.
Contribute to quantitative analysis and provision of portfolio
analytics, including performance attribution, factor exposures and risk metrics.
Ensure data quality and assist with data cleaning and organization.
Perform back testing and validation of portfolio strategies and
alpha signals.
Collaborate with technology teams to productionize tools and
improve data infrastructure.

What Will Help You Be Successful In This Role

BA, BS, or MS in finance, mathematics, statistics, computing science or similar quantitative field.
Previous experience in a quantitative role within asset management.
Strong understanding of statistics and data analysis techniques.
Familiarity with machine learning techniques and their application to financial data.
Ability to analyze large structured and unstructured datasets.
Proficiency in SQL, R and Python strongly preferred.
Interest in financial markets, accounting fundamentals, and
valuation concepts.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate quantitative insights into compelling narratives.
Self-starter, strong attention to detail and willingness to learn.
Team player; willingness to work hard and contribute to
achievement of team goals.
