Quant director - Global hedge fund

As the Quantitative Director at a globally recognized multi-asset hedge fund in Mumbai, you will have the unique opportunity to redefine the future of alpha research. You will be responsible for leading the design and deployment of alpha-generating strategies, overseeing a talented team of researchers and engineers, and collaborating closely with senior leaders in global offices across the US, UK, and APAC. Your impact will span the entire investment lifecycle, from signal ideation to execution refinement. In this high-ownership leadership role, you will have end-to-end responsibility for alpha signal research, portfolio construction, and risk modeling. Your key tasks will include mentoring and growing a high-performing quant research team based in India, driving collaboration across trading, data, and technology for building scalable systematic strategies, and shaping the global research direction with the freedom to innovate and explore new markets and methods. Leveraging world-class data and compute infrastructure, you will be expected to deliver scalable, production-ready strategies. To excel in this role, you should possess 8-12 years of experience in quantitative research or systematic trading within a buy-side setup, demonstrating a successful track record of signal deployment. A deep understanding of equities, futures, and other liquid asset classes is essential, along with experience in managing or mentoring quant teams and strong project and people leadership skills. Your ability to blend academic rigor with practical alpha generation, strong coding skills (Python, C++, or similar), and a data-driven approach to strategy development will be crucial. Exposure to global markets and prior experience in buy-side entities like hedge funds, prop trading firms, or systematic investment firms is highly desirable. If you are ready to elevate your quant career to the next level and contribute to a firm that prioritizes talent and technology investments, we are eager to have a conversation with you.,
