Recruiting on behalf of: A leading global investment management firm
Experience Level: Senior (8+ years)

We’ve been retained by a top-tier investment firm to identify a Senior Quantitative Strategist for their Singapore office. This is a high-impact role for an experienced quant professional with strong technical skills, deep knowledge of equity market microstructure, and a commercial mindset.

The Role:
Our client is looking for someone with a proven track record of producing impactful analysis, tools, or research in a trading or execution-focused setting. You may come from quant research, electronic trading, strategy, product management, or quant sales — but what’s key is your ability to apply quantitative methods to real-world trading problems, particularly in the global equity space.

The successful candidate will work closely with trading teams (both high-touch and low-touch), portfolio managers, and clients, helping to shape and improve execution strategies and transaction cost analysis. The role requires a hands-on approach to research, coding, and data — particularly intraday and tick-level equity data.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• 8+ years of experience in a quant-focused role within a trading, asset management, or sell-side environment
• Strong quantitative skills and a history of building models, tools, or reports that inform execution or trading strategy
• Deep understanding of equity market microstructure, algorithmic execution, and TCA
• Technical proficiency in Python, R, SQL, and ideally kdb+/Q
• Experience working directly with traders or institutional clients in a front-office or client-facing capacity
• Hands-on experience with intraday and tick-level data is a strong plus
• Capable of independently planning and delivering research projects end-to-end

Why This Role?

• Join a globally respected investment firm with a strong presence in Asia
• Work at the intersection of quant research, trading, and client advisory
• Collaborate with high-caliber professionals in a supportive and innovative environment
• Competitive compensation and significant autonomy in how you shape your research
