Job description

Quantitative Researcher -> Systematic Portfolio Manager Opportunity (PR/512030) New York, New York

Salary: USD150000 - USD1000000 per year + PnL %

A leading multi-manager hedge fund is seeking exceptional Senior Quantitative Researchers, Strategy Leads, and high-performing "#2s" within established pods who are ready to step into a Portfolio Manager role.

This is aimed at individuals who have played a significant role in alpha generation, research direction, portfolio construction, and investment decision-making, but whose contributions may not be fully reflected in an attributable live track record due to team structure.

The ideal candidate has:

• A history of generating differentiated alpha within a systematic investment team
• Meaningful ownership of research, signals, portfolio construction, or risk management
• A strong understanding of how to build and scale an investment process
• The ambition and capability to lead a strategy independently

Importantly, this is not an incubator, apprentice, or PM-training program. The firm is prepared to make a full Portfolio Manager allocation to the right candidate from day one. The mandate is intended for investors who are already operating at a PM level in all but title and formal track record attribution.

The platform provides institutional-grade infrastructure, technology, data, execution, and risk support, allowing PMs to focus on what matters most: generating returns and building a scalable investment business.

If you've consistently driven investment outcomes within a successful team and believe your impact exceeds your title, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.
