The role will be working alongside a senior emerging markets portfolio manager with the view to grow out their business further across Latin America, Asia and Russia/CIS. The team, and therefore the role, is primarily focussed on Fixed Income and Currencies. There is a heavy focus on EM Debt, and a thorough understanding of this is advantageous, but not essential.

This is a macro driven role, but a significant quant element and understanding is required.   They are not looking for a systematic/blackbox trader, and a purely discretionary PM will also be difficult to fit within the team.

They will look at individuals coming from the buy or sell side. This is also a very exciting opportunity as they are more than willing to look at individuals currently working in a research capacity, looking to move to a risk managing/PM role. This is of course providing they have an in depth knowledge of EM Debt, and have had extensive exposure to Trading.

The primary focus of the role will be to focus on researching, testing and implementing proprietary trading strategies. The core role will include macro analysis of economic, political and market events, as well as generating investment ideas from quantitative modelling techniques. This individual will take direct accountability and responsibility for a portion of the EM portfolio, and the specific amount will be entirely dependent upon the specific individual.

The core requirements for this role are:

• Strong academic track record

• Up to 8 years’ experience, preferably in emerging markets fixed Income / FX. 

• Ideally, this individual will be in a Junior PM role. If so, you must have a positive track record with low volatility

• If from a research orientated background, the candidate must have significant exposure to the trading business and be comfortable in taking a step up to a risk managing role

• Be working at a world leading buy or sell side firm

• Strong Excel and VBA is essential

• Strong communication skills. Fluency in English, both written and spoken . Second languages are advantageous

• Permission to live and work in the USA, willing to relocate to New York if located elsewhere. They cannot sponsor visas.

This is a research driven, collaborative environment, and you will be expected to share ideas and enhance the team as a whole. If coming from a research role, you will be given assistance and guidance in growing your career.

In return for this the package on offer is exceptional. Ultimately, the compensation offered will be entirely dependent upon the specific candidate. As a guideline, base salaries will be up to $250k and there will be a market leading bonus on top of this. There will also be an excellent flexible benefits package, including pension, private healthcare etc.
