We are partnering with a rapidly expanding proprietary trading platform that is building a global multi-market trading business and actively investing in the next generation of Portfolio Managers, Quant Traders, and Quant Researchers.
The platform has already established profitable live trading operations and is now entering an accelerated growth phase, supported by substantial proprietary capital, significant technology investment, and a long-term commitment to scaling successful teams.
At a time when many experienced traders and researchers are evaluating whether they have sufficient ownership over their strategies, risk allocation, and career trajectory, this platform has been designed with a different philosophy.
Rather than requiring candidates to arrive with fully institutionalised businesses or mature investment teams, the firm is focused on identifying talented individuals with robust alpha generation capabilities and providing them with the resources required to scale.
This creates a unique opportunity for traders, researchers, and PMs who believe they could achieve more with greater autonomy, faster decision-making, and direct access to capital.
Strategic Areas of Focus
The firm remains asset-class agnostic but has identified several areas as key priorities for expansion.
These include:
CME Futures
Particular interest in:
- US Treasury Futures
- Interest Rate Futures
- Equity Index Futures
- Related macro products
The business sees significant opportunity in systematic,
discretionary, and execution-sensitive approaches across some of the world's deepest and most liquid futures markets.
Eurex
Interest spans:
- European Government Bond Futures
- Equity Index Derivatives
- Relative Value Strategies
- Fixed Income Trading
The platform is looking for individuals capable of identifying opportunities across both directional and relative-value frameworks.
ICE
Strong focus on:
- Crude Oil
- Natural Gas
- Energy Derivatives
Given the continued importance of energy markets and structural changes across global commodity trading, the firm sees this as a significant growth area.
US Equities
Particular interest in:
- Electronic Market Making
- Quantitative Trading
- Low-Latency Strategies
- Statistical Arbitrage
- Systematic Equity Research
Niche International Markets
The firm is also interested in professionals who have built successful strategies in less crowded or less efficient markets where proprietary trading firms have historically established strong competitive advantages.

The firm is actively interested in speaking with:
- Portfolio Managers currently managing risk

- Future business builders and team leaders
Successful candidates will have the opportunity to contribute directly to the future direction of the platform whilst benefiting from significant organisational support.
The long-term objective is to build teams around successful individuals and provide clear pathways toward increased responsibility, risk ownership, and leadership opportunities.

- Researching and developing alpha-generating strategies
