In this role you’ll have responsibility for running our systematic and more discretionary strategies, whilst looking for opportunities to grow them.
A strong candidate will have an interest in the whole lifecycle of a trade from understanding the signal and idea generation, through trade execution and then book and risk management.

We have a culture of strong collaboration both across teams and across regions. Your working relationships, trader intuition, and ability to analyse special situations will add value to our team.
