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.
Denver, CO: Denver has become one of the fastest-growing financial centers in the Mountain West — Janus Henderson, DST Systems, and several wealth-management firms are based here. The tech sector has expanded rapidly with companies like Palantir relocating headquarters. Mountain Time gives a 7:30am market open with a clean afternoon.
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.
- Traders with a science or medical background — or who have done the work to understand it
- People who can read a clinical trial press release and assess the actual signal
- Candidates who already follow the FDA PDUFA calendar and major medical conferences
- Traders who can size catalyst trades for binary outcomes, not normal-distribution outcomes
