Portfolio Manager — Proprietary Trading We're partnering with an established proprietary trading firm on a search for a Portfolio Manager to run risk on their own capital. This is a risk-taking seat with full autonomy over your book. This is not portfolio management in the asset management sense, and it is not execution. You need attributable P&L in dollars from a book you ran yourself, not benchmark-relative returns.
Responsibilities:
  • Run your own book and your own risk with full discretion over strategy and sizing
  • Take directional and relative value positions across your chosen products
  • Manage risk in real time, including sizing, hedging and adjusting exposure through changing conditions
  • Develop and scale your own strategies without a fixed house model
Requirements:
  • 4+ years of profitable P&L in dollars
  • Experience running your own risk rather than executing for others
  • Depth in one or more of: equity options and volatility, capital structure arbitrage, listed derivatives, ETFs and index arbitrage, FX, macro or EM FX. Other products considered where the track record is strong
  • Comfort with data and execution tooling
  • Track record of performing in a high pressure, results driven environment
  • What's on offer
New York or Chicago. Competitive base plus a meaningful profit split on what you generate. Flat structure, short decision chain, no client business and no franchise flow.
