How does a macro analyst typically collaborate with portfolio managers and traders within an investment firm?

Macro Analysts work closely with portfolio managers and traders to provide insights on global economic trends, monetary policies, and geopolitical events that could impact investment strategies. They often present their findings in regular meetings, produce reports outlining potential risks and opportunities, and help develop actionable investment ideas. Effective collaboration requires strong communication skills, as Macro Analysts must translate complex data into clear recommendations, ensuring the investment team is well-informed when making decisions. This teamwork fosters a dynamic environment where ideas are continuously exchanged and refined.

To thrive as a Macro Analyst, you need a strong background in economics, financial modeling, and data analysis, typically supported by a degree in economics, finance, or a related field. Familiarity with statistical software (such as R or Python), Bloomberg Terminal, and economic forecasting tools is essential. Excellent analytical thinking, communication, and the ability to synthesize complex data into actionable insights are crucial soft skills. These abilities are vital for accurately interpreting global economic trends and informing strategic investment or policy decisions.

Gelber Group

White Plains, NY • On-site

Full-time

Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, Retirement, PTO

Re-posted 16 days ago

Job description

We are Gelber Group -- Passion for Trading. Powered by Technology.

Headquartered in Chicago with offices across the United States and Europe, for more than 40 years, we have set the bar as one of the industry's most innovative and enduring proprietary trading firms. Our success derives from a relentless pursuit of new trading ideas and careful attention to technology. We believe in a culture of entrepreneurship, innovation, and collaboration and we empower each member of our team to have a meaningful impact from the very start of their career with Gelber. We invest in our future through our technology and talented staff, strategically committing resources to move our firm forward and help our people succeed. We trade a little bit of everything here and are always looking to expand into new opportunities. Our flat organizational structure and focus on a true meritocracy with competitive profit splits attracts individuals with an edge which contributes to our consistent success.

As an Experienced Discretionary Macro Markets Trader, you will have a real opportunity to have a huge impact on the firm. You will work side by side with other successful and talented individuals to capitalize on market opportunities. This role is for someone who flourishes in a fast-paced environment, has a strong work ethic, a competitive attitude, and a proven record of profitability in a trading position for at least 3 years. This is a senior risk-taking role that will be a key idea generator for the desk.

This is a hybrid position with a strong emphasis on in-person presence in our White Plains office.

What you'll do:

  • Manage your own trading book with a focus on trading liquid macro futures
  • Manage your own risk of a portfolio of active strategies and drive trading decisions
  • Analyze market trends, order flow, and technical patterns to identify trading opportunities
  • Develop, test, and refine your trading strategies using historical data and real-time market conditions
  • Continuously monitor market conditions, news, and macroeconomic events
  • Monitor material changes in levels of risk and variance in PnL, especially focused around deviation from your plans, and proactively communicate those changes to leadership

What we'd like to see:

  • Experience trading liquid macro futures
    • `These will commonly include equity indices and/or metals.
    • Nice-to-have experience includes FX, crypto, options, and/or event-driven trading experience
  • Proven track record independently managing a PnL, or being a senior member of the team, driving strategy in a larger environment
  • Prior Proprietary Trading or Hedge Fund PM experience strongly preferred.
    • Larger bank environment or similar experience may be considered if significant decision-making autonomy existed.
  • Defined discretionary macro edge such as outcome distribution analysis, news and narrative interpretation, relative value frameworks, or portfolio construction discipline.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with competitive nature
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to work both autonomously and as a team player
  • Quant skills and data literacy are a plus but not required. Fully automated or black-box strategies are not the focus of this seat. Openness to feedback and willingness to adapt your trading style with changes in market conditions
  • 3 years or more of verified, risk-adjusted profitability

The approximate annual base compensation range for this position in White Plains, New York is $72,000 to $120,000 + percent share of the profits you generate. The actual offer, reflecting the total compensation package plus benefits, will be determined by a number of factors which include but are not limited to the applicant's experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities; geographic location; and internal equity. In addition to your salary, our total rewards package includes health benefits, a 401(k) plan, PTO, parental leave, professional development, tuition reimbursement and discretionary bonus, enhancing your overall total rewards package.

Benefits and Culture:

  • Medical, Dental and Vision Benefits

  • 401K
  • Generous vacation time, paid holidays, and paid parental leave
  • Social events including team dinners and company parties
