Careers

Your upside

Ways to stand out from the crowd

• Independent thinking. This means that you look at things independently and periodically this is different to how others think, and you will be comfortable with these mismatches – often because the facts and odds are on your side.• Numbers and accounting is a major component of our ‘language’ and so you will need to be well-versed in accounting, specifically recognizing the tricks, limitations and flaws of accounting, and be numerically astute.• An abundance of intellectual honesty. While other firms look for intellectual curiosity, we think intellectual honesty is more important and is what ultimately drives enduring curiosity. We have observed people who are curious and passionate about a particular field, only to proclaim and then assert their expertise. You need to know your pitfalls and exploit others’.• An open mind. Not all tricks are delivered the same way. It is not only about fooling some of the people all of the time, but also fooling those who survived the initial version with the next round of bullsh*. The only way to side-step this is to be genuinely open-minded.• First-principles thinking. A collection of analogies, rule of thumbs, generalisations, or conventional norms do not sit well with us.• Verifiable history in stock picking (not mandatory)

What we need to see

• Learnings of concepts/models/principles from multiple fields. This is relevant as a person investing in a basket of companies utilizing only a finance and accounting approach will not be able to see what is in front of them. In fact, this investor would be distorting and conforming reality into a singular model and the
decisions made would be subject to severe shortcomings.• Undergraduate degree with academic transcripts• Legal right to work in Australia

What you didn't know about what it's like at Andaz

• We’re a very small team. This is one of our advantages but may not be for everyone.• The hours are truly flexible. Everyone produces high performance differently.• Results are what is counted. There are other companies where being political pays, but we’re not one of them.• Our existence is entirely discretionary and so the focus is intensely on obtaining high performance. It’s probably going to feel more like Formula One than cruising along the coast in a convertible. In our activity, you're rewarded for the lessons you've learned that others have yet to ascertain. So, if you're the kind of person who seeks daily improvement, new learnings and new algorithms, you'll most likely fit in wonderfully. If not, you're probably going to rub us the wrong way.• Reputation matters tremendously to us. Obtaining the number one performance is not easy, but being number one in integrity is easy because that is simply a choice. We can go straight to the top on that measure.• Part of the strategy is to operate very frugally. Constraint, self-imposed or otherwise, hyper activates a different part of the mind. Use this to your advantage, or avoid the opposite outcomes. A lot of product development in our world is designed to reduce self-sufficiency, idle creativity and inactivate resourcefulness.• Unlike others in the industry, we actually think intellectual honesty trumps intellectual curiosity - to repeat ourselves.• There are no ‘ceilings’ here whatsoever - glass or otherwise. We want our talented team to surprise themselves, overachieve and shoot the lights out.

Keen to apply and know the next steps

• Please email your application to (removed from public viewing). Only applications with a CV and a cover letter will be considered.• Relevant applicants will then be asked to submit a relatively short task.• Applications that succeed the initial stages will be contacted to arrange a phone interview of around 30 minutes.• The final stage will involve an in-person interview of approx. 2.5 to 3 hours (with breaks).For further context, our website is https://andazprivate.com, or look around publicly-available sites and turn over as many stones as you can.
