A newly appointed MD at a Multi-Manager Fund is seeking a Systematic Futures Assistant PM to join their build in NYC. The hiring manager is specifically seeking someone with a proven track-record in building out scalable and profitable trading strategies with mid-frequency horizons (daily to weeks). The APM will have access to top-tier research and trading analytics and dozens of datasets in order to assist in novel strategy development. The overarching goal will be to build out a suite of strategies running orthogonal to the team lead to diversify channels of PnL.
This role provides a unique opportunity that allows for the APM to gain valuable mentorship and guidance from a veteran Quant PM while also enjoying autonomy in running their own strategies. In addition to advanced analytics/resources, the APM will gain high visibility within the group, be entitled to a track-record and receive a PnL split for the strategies they develop. The ideal candidate will have:
- 4+ years in end-to-end systematic futures strategy development (buyside strongly preferred)
- Exposure to concepts outside of alpha signal generation such as portfolio construction, optimization, execution and risk management
- Strong Python skillset
- STEM degree
- Ability to work well in a collaborative build
- Desire to work in a front office, market facing function
- Strong communication skills
