Portfolio Manager

I'm working with two C-Suite members of a proprietary trading firm, operating under a family office structure. The firm currently manages nine-figure AUM and has successfully built a systematic commodities futures book. They are now seeking their first Senior Equities Portfolio Manager to spearhead the build out of a U.S. equities trading arm.

This is a greenfield initiative, full autonomy to build the desk from the ground up; Strategy, infrastructure, team, and execution. The incoming PM will leverage the firm's existing systematic expertise while creating a scalable, data-driven equities platform. The firm is open to a range of strategy types, but has a preference for statistical arbitrage, mid-frequency, and algorithmic trading approaches. While intraday strategies are welcome, the firm is not limited to high-frequency models.

Responsibilities:

Designing and launching a systematic equities trading strategy.

Building infrastructure for signal generation, execution, and risk management.

Recruiting and leading a team of quantitative researchers, analysts, and developers.

Managing risk and capital with full discretion.

Collaborating with the founder and commodities desk to ensure cross-asset synergies and shared infrastructure.

Qualifications:

5+ years of experience in quantitative or systematic equities trading.

Ability to generate alpha and manage risk effectively.

Strong technical background, with hands-on experience in Python, C++, or similar languages.

Experience building or contributing to trading infrastructure, including data pipelines, execution systems, and backtesting frameworks.

Entrepreneurial mindset and desire to build something from scratch.

Ability to work independently while collaborating with a small, high-performing team.
