Portfolio Manager – Equity Stat Arb & Auction Strategies
Base pay range: $200,000.00/yr - $300,000.00/yr
Location: New York or London | Onsite
We are partnering with a high-growth multi-strategy platform that has rapidly established itself as a global force since its launch. Entering its next major phase of expansion, the firm is offering a rare "founder-level" seat for a specialist to build and own the Equity Auctions & Intraday Stat Arb business.
We are specifically targeting high-caliber Quantitative Researchers or PMs from established prop trading firms or quant funds who have successfully scaled auction strategies and are ready to bypass the "senior researcher" ceiling to become a full PnL owner.
Why This Seat
Business Ownership:
You are not just running a model; you are the architect of a central strategy vertical. You will define the risk models, the research agenda, and the execution logic.
QR-to-PM Transition:
This firm specifically values the rigor of top-tier QRs. If you have generated the alpha but lacked attribution or autonomy this is your platform to monetize your IP.
Greenfield Tech:
Trade on brand-new, state-of-the-art infrastructure unencumbered by legacy code.
Payout Structure:
A transparent, formulaic payout of 20% of PnL, offering unlimited upside for scalable strategies.
What You’ll Do
Launch the Business:
Deploy capital into Opening/Closing Auctions (MOO/MOC), imbalance strategies, and short-horizon statistical arbitrage.
Scale Capacity:
Leverage the firm’s balance sheet to scale strategies that have previously been constrained by desk limits.
Direct the Cycle:
Own the full loop—from microstructure feature engineering (L2/L3 data) to post-trade impact analysis. Decide where compute resources go.
Build a Team:
As the strategy scales, hire researchers and developers to support your book.
What You Bring
The Track Record:
Proven success scaling Auction/Close strategies or Intraday Stat Arb. Point to specific attribution: "I built the model that generated $XXXm in PnL."
The Background:
Current QR, Sub-PM, or Desk Head at a top-tier Prop Shop or Quant Fund.
The Edge:
Deep empirical mastery of order book dynamics, exchange matching engines, hidden liquidity, and seasonal volume profiles.
The Mindset:
You are tired of "handing off" your alpha. You want the accountability and the payout that comes with holding the risk.
Compensation
Benefits:
20% Formulaic Payout on PnL + first year guarantee + team budget.
Base Salary:
$250k - $350k (indicative range; flexible for the right profile).
Non-compete:
15month preferred (flexible for exceptional IP).
