Job Description & How to Apply Below
Location: City of White Plains

As an Experienced Discretionary Macro Markets Trader, you will have a real opportunity to have a huge impact on the firm. You will work side by side with other successful and talented individuals to capitalize on market opportunities. This role is for someone who flourishes in a fast-paced environment, has a strong work ethic, a competitive attitude, and a proven record of profitability in a trading position for at least 3 years.

This is a senior risk-taking role that will be a key idea generator for the desk.

This is a hybrid position with a strong emphasis on in-person presence in our White Plains office.

What you’ll do:
  • Manage your own trading book with a focus on trading liquid macro futures
  • Manage your own risk of a portfolio of active strategies and drive trading decisions
  • Analyze market trends, order flow, and technical patterns to identify trading opportunities
  • Develop, test, and refine your trading strategies using historical data and real-time market conditions
  • Continuously monitor market conditions, news, and macroeconomic events
  • Monitor material changes in levels of risk and variance in PnL, especially focused around deviation from your plans, and proactively communicate those changes to leadership
What we’d like to see:
  • Experience trading liquid macro futures
    • These will commonly include equity indices and/or metals.
    • Nice-to-have experience includes FX, crypto, options, and/or event-driven trading experience
  • Proven track record independently managing a PnL, or being a senior member of the team, driving strategy in a larger environment
  • Prior Proprietary Trading or Hedge Fund PM experience strongly preferred.
    • Larger bank environment or similar experience may be considered if significant decision-making autonomy existed.
  • Defined discretionary macro edge such as outcome distribution analysis, news and narrative interpretation, relative value frameworks, or portfolio construction discipline.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with competitive nature
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to work both autonomously and as a team player
  • Quant skills and data literacy are a plus but not required. Fully automated or black-box strategies are not the focus of this seat. Openness to feedback and willingness to adapt your trading style with changes in market conditions
  • 3 years or more of verified, risk-adjusted profitability

The approximate annual base compensation range for this position in White Plains, New York is $72,000 to $120,000 + percent share of the profits you generate. The actual offer, reflecting the total compensation package plus benefits, will be determined by a number of factors which include but are not limited to the applicant’s experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities; geographic location; and internal equity.

In addition to your salary, our total rewards package includes health benefits, a 401(k) plan, PTO, parental leave, professional development, tuition reimbursement and discretionary bonus, enhancing your overall total rewards package.
