Healthcare Sector Momentum Trader (Remote, Funded) — Charlotte, NC

A healthcare sector momentum trader at Maverick focuses on US healthcare equities — biotech catalysts, large pharma, medical devices, and the managed-care payer complex. The sector spans both highly volatile catalyst-driven small-caps and defensive large-cap names, which means a healthcare specialist runs two very different sub-strategies under one umbrella.

Charlotte, NC: Charlotte is the second-largest banking center in the US by deposits. Bank of America is headquartered here, Wells Fargo runs its East Coast operations from the city, and Truist (formerly BB&T/Sun Trust) is built around the metro. The financial-services labor market is among the strongest in the Southeast, and Eastern Time alignment with the NYSE is clean.

What you'll trade: Large pharma (JNJ, MRK, PFE, LLY) for stable trend trades and option liquidity, large biotech (AMGN, GILD, REGN) for fundamental-driven positioning, mid-cap biotech for catalyst trades around clinical data and FDA decisions, medical device names (ISRG, MDT) for steady momentum, and payers (UNH, ELV) for policy-driven moves.

Risk framework: Healthcare carries binary catalyst risk in biotech (one FDA decision moves a stock 40%), regulatory and political risk in payers and large pharma, and patent-cliff timing risk. Maverick limits biotech catalyst exposure to defined-risk structures and caps total sector concentration.

Why Maverick funds this role: Healthcare rewards domain expertise more than almost any other sector — the difference between a real clinical signal and noise isn't visible from price action alone. Maverick funds specialists who bring genuine sector knowledge, not generalists picking up healthcare names off a momentum screen.
