Job description

Senior Hire – Commodity Derivatives (Long Short Book)

Lead the long side of our Commodity Long/Short strategy, with a pathway to independently managing a full-scale commodity L/S fund. Front-office, P&L-accountable seat – not a support or execution-only role.

Experience

7 – 10 years in commodity derivatives trading (futures, options, spreads) across energy, bullion, metals, or agri. Must have a verifiable, attributable track record.

Education

Premier institute – IIT/IIM/ISB/NIT or global equivalents. Non-negotiable. We need structured thinking and intellectual horsepower.

Ownership

Full accountability for idea generation, sizing, risk, and outcomes. Comfortable building from scratch without hand-holding.

Thinking Ability

Independent, frameworks-driven thinker who can synthesize macro, fundamental, and technical views into a coherent trade rationale. Should be able to clearly articulate why they’re in a trade, what invalidates it, and how it fits the portfolio.

Platform Familiarity

Working knowledge of MCX/NCDEX and global benchmarks (COMEX, ICE, LME). Understanding of Indian regulatory context (SEBI, exchange margin frameworks) is a strong plus.

Cultural Fit

High-performance, ideas-first environment. Must have the ambition and temperament to eventually scale into a leadership and investor-facing role.
