Systematic Macro Futures Portfolio Manager – $2bn AUM Quantitative Hedge Fund
Location – New York, Greenwich, Chicago or Fully Remote
Description:
Our client is an established quantitative hedge fund with approximately $2bn in assets under management, specialising in systematic investment strategies and sophisticated quantitative trading. The firm combines a research-driven investment approach with institutional infrastructure, providing portfolio managers with the resources and autonomy to develop, deploy and scale systematic strategies across liquid markets.
As part of its continued investment in systematic macro trading, the fund is seeking an experienced Systematic Macro Futures Portfolio Manager to take ownership of a strategy across global futures markets. This is an opportunity to join a well-capitalised platform where investment decisions are driven by rigorous research, robust modelling and disciplined risk management.
The Opportunity:
The mandate is open to portfolio managers with established systematic macro futures strategies across a broad range of approaches, including trend following, momentum, mean reversion, relative value and other quantitative macro frameworks.
The fund is strategy agnostic and interested in exceptional investment talent rather than a predefined trading style or holding period. Whether your approach is short-term, medium-term or operates across multiple horizons, the opportunity is to deploy your investment process within an established institutional platform and scale capital in line with strategy performance, capacity and risk parameters.
The successful candidate will have meaningful ownership of their strategy, supported by the infrastructure and resources required to research, implement and manage systematic trading at scale. The role can be based in New York or Greenwich, Connecticut, or undertaken on a fully remote basis.
Key Responsibilities:
Develop, manage and continuously improve a systematic macro futures strategy across relevant global markets.
Research and implement quantitative signals, models and trading frameworks designed to generate consistent, risk-adjusted returns.
Take ownership of portfolio construction, position sizing, execution methodology and ongoing risk management.
Evaluate market behaviour, identify new sources of alpha and refine existing strategies as market conditions evolve.
Work with quantitative researchers, developers and trading infrastructure specialists to translate research into robust, production-ready strategies.
Monitor live performance, attribution, drawdowns, execution quality and portfolio-level risk.
Manage strategy capacity and capital deployment, with the opportunity to scale allocations in line with performance and risk considerations.
Contribute to a collaborative investment environment while maintaining clear ownership of the strategy and its results.
Ideal Candidate:
A proven Systematic Macro or Futures Portfolio Manager with a demonstrable live trading track record.
Strong quantitative foundations, with the ability to develop, validate and implement systematic investment strategies.
Experience trading liquid global futures markets, potentially spanning equity indices, fixed income, foreign exchange, commodities or other macro-related contracts.
A robust understanding of portfolio construction, risk management, execution and the practical considerations involved in running systematic strategies.
A track record of generating attractive risk-adjusted returns, supported by clear performance attribution and a well-defined investment process.
The ability to operate independently, make evidence-based investment decisions and take full ownership of a strategy.
A research-oriented mindset, with a willingness to continuously test, improve and expand the strategy's sources of alpha.
Equally comfortable working within an institutional investment platform or operating remotely with a high degree of autonomy.

An established quantitative hedge fund with approximately $2bn AUM.
A strategy-agnostic mandate focused on systematic macro and futures trading.
Access to institutional trading infrastructure, quantitative resources and a professional investment environment.
The opportunity to manage and scale capital around an established, demonstrable investment process.
