Talent is our most important asset. We look for top achievers and invest in them so they keep growing.

• Owning the recruiting lifecycle, from role definition through offer and close

• Expanding our campus pipeline: university partnerships and internships

• Sourcing and closing portfolio managers, senior researchers, and engineers

• Improving recruiting operations, analytics, and firm-wide interview quality

• Investing in our employer brand through events, conferences, and strategic partnerships

Qualifications

• 4+ years recruiting at a fund, trading firm, or tech company, campus to senior hires

• Ambition to build and lead a recruiting function as the firm scales

• Strong sourcing instincts and comfort with direct outreach

• Data- and process-driven; you manage pipelines by the numbers

• Excellent communication skills, from campus candidates to senior hires

• Highly organized and self-directed across concurrent projects

• Bachelor’s degree
