Job description
About the Team & the Opportunity:**
Edelweiss Global Markets is a multi-strategy** trading business within the Edelweiss Group, operating across five geographies and four asset classes. We combine proprietary data, research-driven** thinking, disciplined risk management, and low-latency** execution to deliver superior risk-adjusted** returns. Our culture emphasizes productive paranoia, deep respect for risk, openness, passion (“Junoon”) for excellence, and a strong one-team** ethos.
We are looking to onboard** Portfolio Managers to own, scale, and optimize systematic books end-to-end**—spanning research, portfolio construction, live trading, and risk.
This is a high-autonomy** role with clear accountability, strong infrastructure, and accelerated growth.
What You Will Do:**
Create, manage, and trade a multi-million-dollar** systematic portfolio (>$10mn to start), deploying a bouquet of strategies across styles, frequencies, asset classes, and geographies.
Exercise true end-to-end** ownership: alpha research, strategy engineering, portfolio allocation, execution oversight, and risk controls.
Lead a team of researchers/analysts; set research agendas, raise the engineering bar, and scale winning ideas.
Reorient** exposures proactively as market regimes change; improve existing models while incubating new ones.
Uphold a rigorous risk culture—deploy capital judiciously to maximize risk-adjusted** returns and protect against tail events.
What You Need to Succeed:**
A strong academic foundation in mathematics**, computer science, statistics, or related fields.
At least five years of quantitative research** with a deployable bouquet of strategies suitable for portfolio construction.
Two or more years of independently managing** a sizeable live trading book across styles and frequencies at a fund/ prop** desk or equivalent.
A stable live track record with strong risk-adjusted** performance; hands-on** programming in R/Python/Java; macro understanding of multi-asset** market dynamics.
Clear communication, team leadership, curiosity, and out-of-the-box** thinking.
Why Join Edelweiss Global Markets:**
Own and scale a systematic book on a platform with proprietary data, advanced analytics, and low-latency** execution.
High autonomy with strong scaffolding: mentorship, robust technology, and a risk framework that treats risk as a precious resource.
A values-driven** environment—openness, passion, all for one, and thought leadership—with real career acceleration and comprehensive benefits.
