About the Role
We’re working with a leading proprietary trading firm looking for a Senior Quantitative Researcher / Sub-PM to join their team and take significant ownership over research and trading ideas.
This is an environment where good research moves quickly into live trading. You’ll have access to strong technology, data and infrastructure, while working closely with traders and other researchers to develop, test and implement systematic strategies.
What you’ll be doing:
- Researching new sources of alpha across financial markets
- Developing predictive models and systematic trading strategies
- Working with large and alternative datasets to identify new signals and opportunities
- Taking research from an initial hypothesis through rigorous testing and into production
- Working closely with traders to understand market behaviour and translate research into live strategies
- Owning your research agenda and having the freedom to pursue ideas you believe can generate alpha
- Over time, taking greater ownership of strategies, risk and P&L
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:
- Several years of quantitative research experience within a prop shop, hedge fund or similar systematic trading environment
- A strong track record of developing alpha-generating signals or systematic strategies
- Strong quantitative skills across statistics, mathematics, machine learning or a related discipline
- Excellent Python and experience working with large datasets
- Strong understanding of how and why signals work, when they break down, and how they can be improved
- Someone entrepreneurial who enjoys taking an idea from research through to implementation and live trading
- For more senior profiles, experience taking ownership of strategies, risk or P&L would be highly relevant

Why it’s interesting:
This isn’t a role where you’ll simply be maintaining an existing research book.
You’ll have the opportunity to shape the research agenda, develop your own ideas, work directly with traders and take increasing ownership of strategies and P&L.
For the right Senior QR, there is a clear opportunity to move beyond pure research and take on a broader Sub-PM-style remit, with greater responsibility for capital, risk and trading performance.
If you’re a Senior Quantitative Researcher looking for more ownership, faster feedback and a closer connection between research and trading, I’d be very interested in speaking
