Acadian Asset Management is a global, systematic investment manager at the forefront of data-driven investing since 1986. Headquartered in Boston, with locations in Singapore, London, and Sydney, we manage over $232 billion on behalf of leading institutions worldwide—including pension funds, endowments, foundations, and sovereign wealth funds. We harness advanced technology, rich datasets, and multidisciplinary expertise to help clients navigate complex markets and uncover insights that may be overlooked by traditional approaches.
What sets Acadian apart is our people. We foster a collaborative, intellectually curious environment where ideas are tested, diverse perspectives are welcomed, and innovation thrives. We’re united by a shared purpose: delivering effective client outcomes and supporting one another in work that’s both challenging and rewarding. We offer a flexible hybrid work environment, strong benefits, and a casual but focused office culture—all designed to support the meaningful, collaborative work that defines Acadian.
You'll partner with the Performance Attribution Group (PAG) and Investment Operations to solve complex business problems and shape the technology that supports one of the firm's core investment capabilities.
We're looking for an experienced Business Systems Architect who combines strong technology and analytical skills with a deep understanding of Performance & Attribution, Securities Operations, or related investment operations disciplines. You should be comfortable working with the data and workflows behind portfolio performance—from securities, transactions, positions, pricing, and benchmarks through performance calculation, attribution, and downstream reporting.
We're looking for someone who is motivated by solving business problems—not just gathering requirements. Success in this role comes from curiosity, sound judgment, and a genuine desire to understand how the business works before designing practical technology solutions.
This is a full-time, on-site position based in Boston, Massachusetts. Acadian supports a hybrid work environment; employees are on-site in the Boston office 3 days a week.
The base salary range for this role is $190,000 – $220,000 per year. Actual compensation will be determined based on a candidate’s skills, qualifications, and relevant experience. In addition to base pay, this position may be eligible for discretionary incentive compensation and includes participation in Acadian’s comprehensive benefits program, which includes health, retirement, and wellness offerings.
