Systematic FX / Futures Sub-Portfolio Manager

Systematic FX / Futures Sub-Portfolio Manager

Location: New York, London, Paris, or Singapore (On-site/Hybrid)

The Mandate

This mandate is to imbed a Systematic FX/Futures Sub-Portfolio Manager within an exceptionally stable, scale-multi-asset pod operating inside a premier multi-strategy fund. This seat is designed for a top-tier quantitative researcher who has spent at least 3 years executing sub-PM level responsibilities such as running a capital carve-out, managing live risk, or scaling production models.

The goal is to deploy and manage mid-frequency and short-horizon strategies across global liquid futures and FX complexes. Unlike typical high-turnover multi-strat environments, this pod operates with an integrated, collaborative framework engineered to provide structural mentorship, downside insulation, and a clear operational path to full PM execution.

The Hard Questions (What You Will Solve)

• Multi-Asset Alpha Fusion: How do you programmatically blend your independent systematic FX or futures models into a massive, multi-asset portfolio architecture without cannibalizing existing pod alphas or inducing execution crowding?
• Dynamic Slippage Containment: As your capital allocation scales within the pod, how do you re-architect transaction cost models to prevent multi-day alpha decay from being eroded by market impact across fragmented FX ECNs and futures venues?
• Regime-Aware Risk Pacing: How do you mathematically construct execution and sizing overlays that allow your book to aggressively capture intraday liquidity mispricings while programmatically isolating the portfolio from sudden macro regime shifts?

Ideal Profile

• The Metric: Minimum of 3+ years of direct industry experience in a role constituting Sub-PM level responsibilities (e.g., managing a live risk allocation, senior pod researcher running strategy deployment) within an elite systematic hedge fund, proprietary trading firm, or bank eTrading desk.
• The Tech: Expert-level programming proficiency in Python, with a deep understanding of time-series analysis, statistical inference, and automated risk management frameworks.

Compensation & Preferences

• Non-compete: Preference for < 12 months.
• Compensation: $250k–$350k + Formulaic PnL Cut ( This is not a guarantee of compensation or salary; a final offer amount may vary based on factors including but not limited to experience, domain expertise, and geographic location. )
