North Rock Capital Management

Anyone familiar with this firm and care to share anything about them? Are they just another standard pod shop? 
They are hiring for an equity sector specialist - sounds like research oriented role but not stock picking. Is this a bad seat if you are trying to eventually transition towards fundamental equity seat but are having trouble breaking in? 
 

  • Actively work with Investment and Risk teams to monitor multiple portfolio managers’ market exposures. Be able to provide research and analysis on material positions within a single portfolio manager’s book as well as communicate aggregate level risk factors to senior management; Timely internal reporting on analysis and assessment of portfolio managers is required.
  • Identify and elaborate on intermediate and long-term thematic opportunities in your sector. Provide research thought pieces based on this work that can be communicated to current and potential investors; NOTE: This is not a stock picking role.
  • Ability to take ad hoc projects from start to finish in a timely manner.
 

This is old, but North Rock is a spin/subsidiary was part of Lighthouse which is a FOF. Structure is sort of like a pod but PM teams are external and running SMAs. Best guess from what you posted is that you'd be looking at PM books and doing some independent work on their big positions. Thematic research could be for client communication.
