Job Description

A highly regarded Global Macro Fund is looking for an experienced Quantitative Researcher/Quant PM in the systematic macro space to join their top performing team within the firm. The fund has actively deployed systematic macro strategies for the last 20+ years with several billion dollars in allocation. The Quant Macro Team operates in an open, academic fashion and the incoming Quant Researcher will work on new signals and strategies across global futures and FX markets.

The established team has enjoyed near yearly success on existing strategies within the fund and they are looking for their next Quant Researcher to further the research agenda by leveraging sophisticated statistical and machine learning approaches for generating alpha signals with holding periods ranging from intraday (minutes/hours) to several days. The incoming member will provide an orthogonal approach to what the current team focuses on while also gaining exposure to portfolio construction research.

The ideal candidate for this seat will have:

  • 3+ years alpha generating experience across global futures and/or FX markets (buyside)
  • Applied experience in leveraging statistical and/or machine learning methods for signal generation
  • Rigorous research methodology
  • Advanced Python skillset
  • STEM degree (MS or PhD is preferred but open to BS candidates with industry experience)
