Commodity Quantitative Analyst
Camber Morris are looking for a brilliant Commodity Quantitative Analyst to join a top tier macro hedge fund in London. Joining our elite macro hedge fund team in London, you will step into a high-impact role where your mathematical models and systematic strategies will directly drive investment decisions. Operating on a hybrid model that balances collaborative in-office strategy sessions with remote focus time, this permanent position offers the chance to sit at the absolute intersection of advanced quantitative research and real-world macroeconomic shifts.
Key Responsibilities
- Model Development & Optimization: Design, build, and implement sophisticated mathematical models to price, analyse, and trade across a diverse range of commodity markets (energy preferred).
- Alpha Generation: Formulate, backtest, and refine systematic trading strategies, translating complex data sets into highly profitable, risk-adjusted trading signals.
- Alternative Data Exploration: Source, clean, and structure non-traditional data sets—such as shipping telemetry, satellite imagery, and weather patterns—to gain a predictive edge in physical commodity flows.
- Portfolio Risk Analysis: Collaborating closely with portfolio managers, develop robust risk management frameworks to stress-test positions against macroeconomic shocks and liquidity constraints.
- Infrastructure Advancement: Enhance Camber Morris's proprietary quantitative research platform, ensuring our codebase is scalable, fast, and optimised for real-time market analysis.
