Job description

I am working with a leading global alternative investment platform looking to add an established Directional Macro Portfolio Manager to its London investment team.

The focus is on experienced risk-takers with a strong track record across FX and Global Macro, where currencies represent a meaningful component of both idea generation and realised P&L.

This is not a research or transition-to-PM opportunity. We are looking to speak with established Portfolio Managers who can demonstrate:

• Directional macro expertise with a clear FX bias
• Experience expressing views across G10 and/or Emerging Markets
• A disciplined approach to portfolio construction, sizing and drawdown management
• The ability to generate differentiated macro views and translate them into scalable risk
• Experience managing meaningful standalone risk within a hedge fund, proprietary trading or comparable institutional environment

The mandate is based in London and is relevant to established PMs currently running capital as well as experienced risk-takers considering the next stage of their platform.

All conversations will be treated in strict confidence.

For a confidential discussion, please contact me directly.
