This is one of the most significant quant research leadership roles we've represented.
A leading systematic hedge fund operating across equity, macro and multi-asset strategies.
It is seeking an exceptional Head of Quantitative Research. You will define and drive the fund's entire research agenda, work directly with the CIO and senior portfolio managers and lead a team of quant researchers across all strategy verticals.
This is not a player-manager seat in name only. They want someone who can stay at the frontier of academic research in ML, statistics and quantitative finance, while building a culture of intellectual rigour, performance accountability and alpha generation.
What they need:
- PhD in Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Computer Science, or related field
- 10+ years quant research at a systematic hedge fund or prop trading firm
- Experience leading research teams of 5+ at senior level
