Quantitative Strategist - Tier 1 Global Hedge Fund - UP TO £250k Base + Discretionary Bonus

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 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 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.
