Job description

Emerging Markets Macro Portfolio Manager - Global Multi-Strategy Hedge Fund (NYC)

Our client is a $20bn+ global multi-strategy hedge fund undergoing a significant growth phase, driven by the appointment of a high-profile CIO to build out a next-generation platform. With consistent double-digit performance (10%+ annual returns) and strong investor inflows, the firm is actively expanding its Emerging Markets Macro capability in New York.

This represents a rare opportunity to join a well-capitalized platform with meaningful capital allocation, true autonomy, and long-term partnership upside-while operating in a collaborative, non-siloed environment.

The Opportunity

  • Build, scale, and run an Emerging Markets Macro portfolio within a large, well-capitalized multi-strat platform
  • Significant day-one capital allocation, with the ability to scale based on performance
  • Operate within a pod-based structure where each PM runs an independent strategy with direct ownership of P&L
  • Backed by best-in-class infrastructure, centralized risk, and execution support
  • Opportunity to hire and develop your own team, effectively building a business within the broader platform
  • Join during a high-growth phase under new leadership, offering strong upward mobility and long-term franchise building

Role & Responsibilities

  • Independently manage an EM macro portfolio, generating alpha across rates, FX, credit, and commodities
  • Develop and execute a clear, repeatable investment process based on macroeconomic and geopolitical analysis
  • Construct portfolios around global macro themes, policy divergence, and EM-specific dislocations
  • Take outright risk and relative value positions across liquid instruments and derivatives
  • Maintain strict risk discipline, continuously managing exposures and drawdowns
  • Collaborate with senior leadership and other PMs to share insights and contribute to overall platform strategy

Candidate Profile

  • Proven EM Macro track record with demonstrable PnL ownership and risk-taking experience on the buyside.
  • Strong expertise across EM FX, local rates, sovereign credit, and/or macro derivatives
  • Experience running capital within a hedge fund, prop trading, or similar buyside risk-taking environment
  • Demonstrated ability to generate consistent, risk-adjusted returns (Sharpe-driven mindset)
  • Entrepreneurial mindset, with the desire to build and scale a strategy within a platform
  • Collaborative approach-seeking a team-oriented culture vs. purely siloed pod structures

Why This Platform

  • True Autonomy: Each PM operates as a self-contained business unit with full discretion over strategy and capital deployment
  • Competitive Economics: Market-leading PnL payout structure, with clear upside linkage to performance
  • Partnership Potential: Top performers have a pathway to long-term economics and strategic influence
  • Collaborative Culture: Differentiated vs. traditional pod shops-information sharing and idea generation encouraged
  • Lean PM Structure: Smaller headcount at the senior level, offering real visibility and impact on firm performance and direction
  • Institutional Backing: Access to deep capital, infrastructure, and global footprint without the constraints of legacy platforms

Location

New York City - core hub for global macro investing, with proximity to senior leadership and key decision-makers
