Execution Trader / Junior Portfolio Manager

Trading & Execution

The Firm

We operate a private investment office managing a concentrated portfolio of liquid assets. We are a small, discreet team that prioritizes agility and intellectual honesty over traditional corporate hierarchy. This is a role for a high-ceiling individual who prefers a quiet, high-stakes environment over the noise of a large institution.

The Role

This position is focused on the precision execution of trades and the real-time monitoring of portfolio risk. You will not be a "cog in a machine"; you will be the primary support to the Founder, responsible for:

• Execution: Handle daily trade execution across various asset classes (equities, derivatives, and potentially commodities).

• Quantitative Support: Work closely with the Principal to analyze market themes and assist in developing data-driven trading strategies.

• Risk Oversight: Maintaining a constant pulse on exposure and ensuring adherence to firm mandates.

The Profile

We do not require a traditional finance background. In fact, we are specifically looking for "raw" talent—individuals who have a natural, perhaps non-traditional, history of managing risk and making high-pressure decisions.

• Decision Science: You have a demonstrated ability to think in bets. You understand expected value and can make rapid-fire calculations when the environment is shifting.

• Calculated Temperament: You possess the rare ability to remain clinical and disciplined when volatility increases.

• Inherent Sharpness: You are someone who "gets it" quickly. We value a track record of winning in competitive, high-stakes environments—whatever those may be.

• Integrity: Absolute discretion is the baseline. You will be operating in a private, sensitive capacity where trust is the primary currency.

Why Join Us?

This is an apprenticeship-style role.
