Position Overview

We are seeking a Director, Head of Investment Innovation & Integration, to lead the evolution of how investment decisions are supported, scaled, and improved across Global Liquid Markets (GLM).

This is a senior leadership role for a highly credible investor who also brings quantitative depth, analytical rigor, and a bias toward practical innovation. The person in this seat will help GLM strengthen its investment process by embedding systematic thinking, modern analytics, and more effective workflows into day-to-day decision-making.

This is a role for someone who enjoys making an investment platform better - not by sitting on the sidelines, but by working closely with Portfolio Managers, Traders, Analysts, and Technology partners to turn ideas into durable improvements.

The team is building toward an investment model that combines fundamental judgment with systematic, data-driven frameworks to improve consistency, scalability, and decision quality across fixed income and macro strategies.

What This Role Is About

This is first and foremost an investor role. We are looking for someone who understands capital markets deeply, especially fixed income and macro, and who can pair that investment judgment with the ability to design, build, and implement better tools, better workflows, and better decision support. The ideal candidate has spent their career close to investment decision-making and has also demonstrated a strong interest in using data, technology, and quantitative methods to improve outcomes. They should be able to engage credibly on portfolio construction, alpha generation, risk-taking behavior, and market dynamics, while also bringing a practical mindset for execution and adoption.
