New York City | Hedge Fund | Competitive Compensation

We are working with a leading global hedge fund looking to hire a Senior Quantitative Researcher or Portfolio Manager for its systematic global macro business.

The successful candidate will research, develop and manage systematic strategies across global rates, foreign exchange, equity indices and commodities. The role will cover the full investment process, from identifying macroeconomic relationships and developing signals through to portfolio construction, implementation and live strategy management.

The firm is interested in candidates developing directional, relative-value or cross-sectional strategies across liquid global markets. Existing portfolio managers are of interest, alongside senior researchers with a strong production track record who are ready to assume greater investment responsibility.

Responsibilities

  1. Research and develop systematic global macro strategies.
  2. Convert macroeconomic and market data into scalable investment signals.
  3. Build and improve forecasting, portfolio-construction and risk-allocation models.
  4. Conduct robust backtesting, validation and scenario analysis.
  5. Monitor live performance and identify opportunities to improve existing strategies.
  6. Work closely with quantitative researchers, developers, traders and risk managers.
  7. Contribute to the continued expansion of the firm’s systematic macro platform.

Requirements

  1. Strong experience researching systematic strategies across rates, FX, commodities or equity-index markets.
  2. Demonstrable contribution to live strategies or an independently attributable investment track record.
  3. Excellent statistical modelling and quantitative research skills.
  4. Strong programming ability in Python or a comparable research language.
  5. Understanding of transaction costs, liquidity, capacity and portfolio-level risk.
  6. Ability to take ownership of the complete research and investment process.
  7. Advanced degree in a quantitative subject is advantageous.

This is an opportunity to join a well-capitalised investment platform offering high-quality data, technology and execution infrastructure, with the potential to manage meaningful risk as strategies develop.
