The firm emphasizes disciplined capital deployment, repeatable processes, and robust risk controls to generate durable, risk-adjusted returns across crypto market cycles.

Role Description

We are seeking a Portfolio Manager to lead hedge-fund–style crypto trading strategies under a U.S.-based mandate. This role carries full responsibility for portfolio construction, capital allocation, risk management, and P&L outcomes across spot and derivative digital-asset markets.

The role is designed for a senior investment professional capable of operating independently, managing leverage responsibly, and navigating volatile crypto markets within defined governance frameworks.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and manage hedge-fund–style crypto portfolios across spot, futures, perpetuals, and approved derivatives.
• Own capital allocation, position sizing, leverage utilization, and drawdown management.
• Identify and exploit inefficiencies related to liquidity, volatility, funding rates, and market structure.
• Manage portfolio exposure dynamically across bull, bear, and stressed market regimes.
• Oversee execution quality, liquidity management, and counterparty exposure.
• Produce institutional-grade performance attribution, risk reporting, and portfolio commentary.
• Operate within risk and governance standards aligned with Bird Software Solutions’ investment framework.

Qualifications

• Proven experience managing crypto hedge fund or proprietary trading portfolios with direct P&L responsibility.
• Deep understanding of crypto market structure, derivatives, funding dynamics, and liquidity behavior.
• Demonstrated ability to manage leverage and control downside risk in high-volatility environments.
• Experience operating portfolios through prolonged drawdowns and regime shifts.
• Strong analytical capability and familiarity with portfolio and risk management tools.
• High accountability, independent judgment, and disciplined execution mindset.
• Ability to clearly communicate strategy, performance, and risk to senior stakeholders.
• Experience working within hedge fund, proprietary trading, or performance-driven environments is a strong advantage.
• This is a remote role; however, candidates must be U.S. citizens and authorized to work in the United States. Visa sponsorship is not available.

What We Offer

• Annual compensation: $185,000 – $275,000 base salary, plus performance-based incentives directly tied to hedge fund P&L and risk-adjusted returns.
• Fully remote role within the United States.
• Full ownership of hedge-fund–style crypto portfolio strategy and execution.
• Opportunity to scale capital within a performance-driven digital-asset trading operation.
• Alignment with institutional governance and disciplined risk management.
• Upside linked directly to sustained portfolio performance.
