European Economist – Inflation Strategy | Tier one macro hedge fund

Relocation from London/Europe to NYC certainly possible

$450,000–$1,000,000 Total Compensation

A globally respected investment manager is hiring a senior European Economist to lead its thinking on inflation and growth across Europe. This is a high-impact, front-office role focused on shaping trade-relevant macro views — with clear accountability for investment outcomes.

Working closely with portfolio managers, the successful candidate will help generate actionable insights that directly influence positioning. While not managing capital themselves, they will be assessed on the quality and return profile of their ideas.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop the firm’s core views on European inflation, monetary policy, and growth dynamics
• Collaborate with PMs to translate macro analysis into trade ideas and risk frameworks
• Contribute to the broader global macro debate and cross-regional investment themes
• Build and maintain robust economic models with a strong quantitative foundation
• Monitor and interpret developments across key institutions — especially the ECB, with secondary focus on the BoE, SNB, and others

Ideal Profile:

• 10+ years of experience in macroeconomic strategy, central banking, or applied economics
• Deep understanding of the European economy, monetary policy, and inflation mechanics
• Strong economics and strategy background, with quant fluency and modelling capabilities
• Proven ability to generate trade-relevant insights and influence portfolio decisions
• Confident communicator, comfortable working in a high-performance, intellectually rigorous team
• Based in or open to relocating to New York; visa sponsorship available

This is a rare opportunity to shape global portfolios from the core of one of the world’s most analytically driven investment firms. Compensation is highly competitive and reflects the strategic nature of the position.
