Quantitative Strategist
I am partnering with a Tier 1 global hedge fund looking to hire an experienced Quantitative Strategist into a highly front-office role in London.
Sitting directly alongside Portfolio Managers and investment teams, you will work at the intersection of quantitative research, technology and investing, taking ownership of projects with a direct impact on trading, alpha generation and risk management.
This is not a traditional technology or support position. You will work directly with PMs on live investment problems across a broad range of asset classes, developing the quantitative models, analytics and infrastructure that underpin investment decisions.
The Role:
- Develop real-time P&L and risk systems used by investment teams
- Build interactive quantitative tools directly for Portfolio Managers
- Work alongside PMs and analysts to develop and implement trading signals across multiple asset classes
- Develop, backtest and implement new quantitative models and strategies
- Apply AI and quantitative technology to enhance investment research, risk management and decision-making
- Provide hands-on quantitative support for high-impact desk projects
- Take problems from initial investment idea through research, development and production implementation
- Work closely with senior investment professionals across the firm
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We're Looking For:
- 5+ years' experience in a front-office Quantitative Strategist, Quantitative Research or Quantitative Development position
- Experience within a leading hedge fund, investment manager, trading firm or investment bank
- Advanced degree in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Mathematical Finance or another highly quantitative discipline
- Excellent Python, including NumPy and Pandas
- Strong SQL
- Exposure to additional programming languages such as C# or R is beneficial
- Strong quantitative foundations with the ability to apply them to real investment and trading problems
- Demonstrable experience working directly with Portfolio Managers, traders or investment professionals
- Strong communication skills and the ability to operate autonomously in a high-performing front-office environment
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
This is a particularly compelling opportunity for someone looking for genuine proximity to the investment process, significant ownership and the opportunity to work across a wide variety of quantitative problems rather than being restricted to a single asset class or strategy.
Compensation: Up to £250,000 base for exceptional candidates, plus a discretionary year-end bonus.
To apply, either respond to this advert or send your CV directly to gala.santaballa@mondrian-alpha.com.
