Quant - Portfolio Manager

About the Team & the Opportunity: Edelweiss Global Markets is a multi-strategy trading business within the Edelweiss Group, operating across five geographies and four asset classes. We combine proprietary data, research-driven thinking, disciplined risk management, and low-latency execution to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns. Our culture emphasizes productive paranoia, deep respect for risk, openness, passion (“Junoon”) for excellence, and a strong one-team ethos. We are looking to onboard Portfolio Managers to own, scale, and optimize systematic books end-to-end —spanning research, portfolio construction, live trading, and risk. This is a high-autonomy role with clear accountability, strong infrastructure, and accelerated growth. What You Will Do: Create, manage, and trade a multi-million-dollar systematic portfolio (>$10mn to start), deploying a bouquet of strategies across styles, frequencies, asset classes, and geographies. Exercise true end-to-end ownership: alpha research, strategy engineering, portfolio allocation, execution oversight, and risk controls. Lead a team of researchers/analysts; set research agendas, raise the engineering bar, and scale winning ideas. Reorient exposures proactively as market regimes change; improve existing models while incubating new ones. Uphold a rigorous risk culture—deploy capital judiciously to maximize risk-adjusted returns and protect against tail events. What You Need to Succeed: A strong academic foundation in mathematics , computer science, statistics, or related fields. At least five years of quantitative research with a deployable bouquet of strategies suitable for portfolio construction. Two or more years of independently managing a sizeable live trading book across styles and frequencies at a fund/ prop desk or equivalent. A stable live track record with strong risk-adjusted performance; hands-on programming in R/Python/Java; macro understanding of multi-asset market dynamics. Clear communication, team leadership, curiosity, and out-of-the-box thinking. Why Join Edelweiss Global Markets: Own and scale a systematic book on a platform with proprietary data, advanced analytics, and low-latency execution. High autonomy with strong scaffolding: mentorship, robust technology, and a risk framework that treats risk as a precious resource. A values-driven environment—openness, passion, all for one, and thought leadership—with real career acceleration and comprehensive benefits.
