Head – Trading Strategy & Portfolio Management
Proprietary Trading Firm | Bangalore | Full-Time
About the Role
We are a start-up proprietary trading firm operating across digital asset and alternative markets from Bangalore. We are looking for a sharp, high-agency Head – Trading Strategy & Portfolio Management to serve as the operational backbone of the firm — the person who ensures that everything between the founders' decision and the team's execution actually happens.
In this role, you will manage the full spectrum of firm operations: coordinating across trading, engineering, and research teams; driving project timelines and accountability; handling HR, onboarding, and vendor relationships; supporting strategic planning and international expansion; and ensuring the day-to-day machine runs without friction. You will report directly to the founders and act as their operational multiplier.
This is not a back-office role. You will be embedded in the business — sitting in trading meetings, tracking engineering deliverables, managing team dynamics, preparing founder materials,



and making judgment calls or priorities when things compete for attention. The scope is deliberately broad because the firm is early-stage and the right person will thrive in that ambiguity.
If you are the person who instinctively builds the system, tracks the follow-up, and closes the loop — and you want to do it at a quick-moving trading firm with global ambitions — this is the role.
Key Responsibilities
Serve as the primary operational interface between the founders and all functional teams (trading, engineering, quantitative research, compliance); ensure decisions translate into executed deliverables with clear ownership and timelines.
Own and drive weekly operating cadence — meeting agendas, minutes of meeting documentation, action item tracking, and cross-team follow-ups.
Manage people operations end-to-end: hiring coordination, onboarding, team structuring, performance tracking, compensatio
