The primary focus of this role will be on the research and development (R&D) of new systematic equity vol strategies within the Quantitative Investment Strategies (QIS) context. This role will encompass the full spectrum of index development, from implementation and integration into front-office pricing and risk models to ongoing support and collaboration with sales and trading teams. They would consider pure researchers who do not have applied implementation experience.

The ideal candidate will have a significant quant research background in creating highly sophisticated and successful systematic strategies. Expertise in equity vol research is particularly relevant but would consider vol specialists from other asset classes. This position is at VP level, but candidates ranging from Associate to Director level are encouraged to apply.
