About Camber Morris
Camber Morris – Quantitative Talent is a specialist executive search firm partnering with the world's leading hedge funds, asset managers, proprietary trading firms and investment banks to build world-class quantitative teams.
We specialise exclusively in quantitative finance and AI, delivering retained and strategic search assignments across:
- Portfolio Management
- Quantitative Research
- Quantitative Strategy
- Quantitative Analytics
- Quantitative Development
- AI & Machine Learning
Our clients include many of the industry's most respected investment firms, where we support both large-scale platform hiring and discreet senior appointments.
As a boutique business, we prioritise quality over volume. Every search is highly consultative, research-led and relationship-driven, giving our consultants genuine market influence rather than transactional recruitment experience.
The Opportunity

You will manage retained and contingent executive searches from inception through to completion, partnering directly with investment firms and senior quantitative professionals across Europe and North America.
This is a high-autonomy role with responsibility for developing client relationships, executing complex search assignments and contributing to the continued growth of the business.
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
