Pathway to Head of Quantamental Equities Trading Live strategy. Capital committed. Launching in Six Months.
We're now looking for one exceptional trader to help build what comes next.
You'll work directly alongside the firm's CEO and CIO, both of whom have operated inside leading global investment firms.
This is an opportunity to join at the point where your contribution can genuinely shape the future of the firm.
You might be a fit if you:
- combine quantitative rigour with deep equity market intuition.
- have developed your judgement inside professional investment environments.
- can't stop yourself looking for edge.
- hate avoidable losses.
- keep score through P&L, not stories.
You should ideally have:
- 3+ years' experience trading quantitative equities strategies with live capital
- Experience inside a hedge fund, proprietary trading firm or institutional asset manager
- Strong Python and systematic modelling capability
- Deep understanding of equity markets, portfolio construction and risk
- A relentless drive to improve investment performance
You'll be responsible for:
- Developing new alpha signals and research ideas.
- Refining portfolio construction and risk allocation.
- Improving execution quality and transaction cost efficiency.
- Stress-testing models across changing market regimes.
- Building research infrastructure that compounds over time.
- Continuously identifying and validating new sources of edge.
Everything is measured by one outcome:
Does it improve long-term P&L?
About us
We aren't hiring someone to fit into an existing investment team. We're hiring someone to help build one.
Successful performance creates the opportunity to build and ultimately lead the quantitative trading function.
We have zero tolerance for:
- Bureaucracy
- Layers
- Politics
- Slow decision-making
We're deliberately building the opposite.
Great ideas don't disappear into committees here. They get built.
The distance between your decisions and their impact is measured in days, not years.
Think like an owner. Perform like an owner. Become one.
Let's be honest.
We don't want a large team. We want an exceptional one. This is one of the most competitive industries in the world. Becoming exceptional demands exceptional commitment.
We're not here to participate. We're here to win. Winning means building an investment business that consistently outperforms its benchmark over the long term.
This isn't a role for someone looking for balance. The people who thrive here are obsessed with improving. They thrive on solving difficult problems. They can't ignore weak assumptions. They see obstacles and instinctively move towards them. They search for edge because they genuinely love the pursuit. The long days aren't the goal. Winning is.
If markets aren't something you think about outside work, this probably isn't the right opportunity.
