This platform combines quantitative and discretionary investment methods across global markets, supported by a robust data driven, mature research ecosystem.

Role Overview

The firm is seeking a Portfolio Manager to design and lead systematic rates strategies powered by natural language-derived signals. The mandate focuses on transforming unstructured text — including policy statements, macro commentary, and news — into predictive insights that drive alpha across global yield curves and interest rate markets.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and implement systematic rates models that leverage NLP-based signals across futures from research through to live trading.

Oversee capital deployment with disciplined risk controls, volatility targeting, and robust portfolio construction, ensuring consistent, high risk-adjusted returns.

Extract quantitative insights from unstructured text — central bank communications, macroeconomic news, and research reports — to identify directional and relative value opportunities.

Research & Development

Partner with data scientists and quantitative researchers to evolve NLP pipelines, enhance model robustness, and ensure signal persistence through stress testing and regime validation.

Collaborate closely with engineering and macro research teams to optimize data ingestion, execution efficiency, and research scalability across systematic fixed‑income strategies.

Reasons to Apply

• Front-line opportunity to pioneer NLP-driven alpha within a exponentially growing systematic fixed income platform.


• Access to institutional infrastructure, rich data pipelines, and cross‑disciplinary research teams.


• Significant balance sheet and scale to grow your book to critical mass while maintaining a strong Sharpe ratio.


• Highly competitive, performance‑linked compensation with ability to co‑invest in the fund with market leading returns.


• High degree of autonomy within a semi‑collaborative, data‑centric culture.
