The brief
A pod lead with a strong three-year run wants a second senior researcher who can own signals end to end, from first idea to live capital, without a platform team holding their hand.
Who we’re looking for
Three or more years of live futures signals with a track record you can talk about in outline. PhD optional; clean code and a strong sense of what not to trade are not.
How the search runs
A named partner runs the search from brief to offer. We map the market in the first two weeks, make every first approach ourselves, and share the funnel with you every Friday: who we called, who said no, and why.
Interested, or know someone who should be? Write to the partner on this search. Every conversation is confidential, and we never send a CV without your permission.
