We are currently partnering with a highly regarded global macro hedge fund that is continuing to expand its investment platform. The firm is looking to hire a Quantitative Macro Researcher to join its centralised macro research team, which sits at the core of the investment process and works closely with multiple global macro pods.
This is a highly analytical role focused on macro modelling and econometric research, with primary coverage of the Scandinavian, Australian, and New Zealand economies. The role emphasises rigorous macroeconomic analysis, forecasting, and data-driven insight to support trading and risk decisions across the fund.
Key responsibilities include:
• Building and maintaining econometric and quantitative macro models to forecast key drivers such as inflation, growth, and policy outcomes
• Conducting deep macroeconomic research to support portfolio construction and risk management
• Working closely with PMs and traders to translate research outputs into investable insights
• Analysing global fixed income markets, including rates, inflation, and government bonds
To be considered, candidates should have:
• A Master’s degree at minimum in Economics, Econometrics, Statistics, or a related field from a top university (PhD strongly preferred)
• Experience in quantitative macro research, ideally gained at a central bank or policy institution
• A strong understanding of macroeconomic drivers and fixed income asset classes
• Excellent statistical and programming skills (e.g. Python, R, MATLAB, or similar)
• Fewer than 4-6 years of professional experience
• US work authorisation or eligibility to work in the US
This is a rare opportunity for a junior quantitative macro researcher to gain high visibility within a top-tier hedge fund, with direct exposure to PMs and a clear line of sight to portfolio-level decision-making.
The client intends to interview no more than five candidates, so early applications are strongly encouraged. Please apply with an up-to-date CV and include your availability for an in-depth screening call with one of our directors.
