Quantitative Macro Strategist - Tier-1 Global Macro Hedge Fund (New York)

We have been engaged by a leading global Hedge Fund that is looking to hire a Quantitative Macro Strategist (Rates & FX or Cross-Asset) to join a successful, newly launched pod that is running a Global Macro Fund (G10 focus & Discretionary Macro)

The ideal candidate must have a strong quantitative and macro/economic background, while also having strong idea generation experience across Rates & FX (essential), however equity indices/commodities would be an added extra bonus

Python and/or other coding languages would be a bit plus, as another key part of the role will involve helping build out tools/frameworks to help improve the decision-making process on the team.

This role will be working as part of a macro pod that is being led by a very well-respected macro industry veteran, who has an excellent track record in the industry working at some of the top HF platforms in the world.

Requirements:

• 5-10+ years' experience
• Strong academic background
• Strong economic intuition & knowledge of the macro space.
• Experience with idea generation (RV and Directional), building out tools, models,
  
  frameworks & portfolio construction
• Strong and demonstrable track record of trade ideas that have been successful in the past
• Good knowledge of G10 Rates & FX (equity indices/macro equities is a plus)
• Must own input/track record for trade ideas
• Shorter-term tactical mindset and can think of good trades on a 1 week to 3-6 month horizon
• Sell-side & Buy-Side backgrounds will both be considered
• Strong quantitative/coding background (important): Python (preferred)
• Good knowledge of derivatives and best instruments to express an idea
• Having a strong and clearly articulated framework for macro research
