How we work
We have three distinct divisions – investment management, technology and business management – yet working with colleagues from across the firm on a daily basis is the norm. Drawing on each other’s skills, experience and expertise makes for an engaging and stimulating working environment.
Investment management
Investing in people
We hire accomplished quantitative researchers and portfolio managers with expertise that can drive our expansion into new investment strategies.
Our world-class infrastructure – with centralised data provision, counterparty relationships, and execution capabilities – enables the efficient rollout of strategies across a wide range of asset classes and trading frequencies.
We cater for profiles ranging from talented individuals seeking opportunities for personal development, to portfolio managers who desire greater independence.

Technology
Front and centre of our business
Our technology teams are responsible for developing and supporting the infrastructure at the core of our investment strategies. Working collaboratively with teams from across the business, we are tasked with solving a wide range of technically complex challenges. We offer a stimulating and varied working environment, where both cross-team and cross-functional interaction is essential for delivering on Winton’s objectives.
Stacking up
We develop applications and tooling that facilitate data ingestion, quant processing, execution, post-trade activities, and everything in-between.
Operating in a hybrid-cloud environment, we continually appraise and integrate the latest technologies to ensure we can scale both proprietary and open-source applications to meet business demands.
Ahead of the curve
Our in-person working environment maximises the opportunities for learning through continual interaction with our stakeholders. Development teams operate across the stack and work closely with business users, facilitating the growth of strong, long-term relationships throughout the firm and removing the need for product managers.
We share our latest insights and projects over pizza at regular Tech Talks; we encourage the attendance of conferences to keep us up to speed with the latest tech developments; and we sponsor those looking to upskill through training and courses.
