US Equities Macro Strategist / Trader

We are partnering with a leading global macro hedge fund to hire an equities-focused strategist/trader to sit directly within a senior PM's pod. This role is centered on expressing macro views through equities, with a primary focus on ETFs, sector exposure, and thematic positioning. This is a trading-oriented seat within a macro team, where the individual will be responsible for translating macro views into equity trades. The focus is not on traditional single-name research, but on clean trade expression, timing, and positioning, typically over a 3-6 month horizon. The PM is macro/rates-driven, and is looking for someone who can bring an equity-first perspective, while helping to implement ideas through indices, ETFs, and baskets, with support from internal fundamental teams as needed.

Key Responsibilities

• Generate and express macro-driven investment ideas through equities, primarily via:

• ETFs

• sector and thematic baskets

• index exposures

• Translate views on rates, growth, policy, and macro regime shifts into actionable equity positioning

• Identify timing and catalyst-driven opportunities (3-6 month horizon)

• Monitor positions, adjust exposures, and update views based on market conditions and positioning changes

• Work directly with the PM on trade construction, sizing, and risk framing

• Leverage internal research for targeted single-name support, without owning traditional coverage

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 5-15 years of experience in:

• Hedge fund (multi-manager or long/short equity platform)

• Trading or strategist roles with a clear equity focus

• Strong experience expressing views through equities, including:

• ETFs / baskets / sector positioning

• index or factor exposure

• Demonstrated ability to think in:

• trades (entry / exit / timing)

• risk/reward and catalysts, not just valuation

• Strong understanding of:

• equity market structure, positioning, and flows

• macro drivers and their impact on equities
