My client is a global quantitative hedge fund with a market-leading platform for systematic trading strategies. The firm operates a pod-based structure, providing Portfolio Managers with autonomy, dedicated resources, and access to world-class infrastructure to build and scale their trading businesses.

 

The Role


They are seeking an experienced Portfolio Manager to establish and lead their own trading pod. The ideal candidate will bring a proven track record in medium-frequency trading (MFT) strategies, with the ability to manage risk and generate sustainable PnL. My client can consider both independent hires looking to build a team from scratch, as well as established portfolio teams seeking to transition together into a market-leading platform.

 

Key Responsibilities

 

  • Build and manage a trading pod within the firm’s systematic trading platform.

  • Develop, deploy, and refine MFT strategies to deliver consistent alpha.

  • Take full ownership of risk management, capital allocation, and performance.

  • Recruit and lead quantitative researchers, data scientists, and technologists to support pod objectives.

 

Requirements

 

  • Proven track record as a Portfolio Manager at a buyside firm (hedge fund, prop trading firm, or similar).

  • Demonstrated success with Sharpe ratio of 2+ and strong, verifiable PnL generation.

  • Expertise in MFT strategies, with a deep understanding of market microstructure.

  • Strong risk management and portfolio construction skills.

  • Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to build and lead a pod/team.

 

What’s on Offer

 

  • Full autonomy to run your own trading pod with dedicated firm resources.

  • State-of-the-art execution systems, proprietary datasets, and scalable infrastructure.

  • Competitive compensation model with significant performance-based upside.

  • The ability to join either as an independent hire with the option to build a team, or as part of an existing team hire.
