Portfolio Manager - Equity Long/Short

Role Overview:

We have partnered with a fast-growing hedge fund in Dubai looking to hire a long/short equity portfolio manager. The ideal candidate will be running a market-neutral strategy covering multiple sectors, with a strong bias towards US large caps and flexibility to also cover other major DM equity markets. Our client has a great team and a meritocratic culture, offering the opportunity to scale your strategy and potentially build a team over time.

Key Responsibilities:

• Execute and run a long/short equity strategy, focusing on generating alpha and strong risk-adjusted returns within a market-neutral framework
• Scale your strategy over time, with the potential to build out a team

Requirements & Qualifications:

• 7-10+ years of experience, with at least 2-3+ years as a long/short equity PM or Associate PM, running a market-neutral strategy
• Demonstrable track record (with full ownership of pnl), as well as a clear investment framework for your strategy
• Strategy should be focused on large liquid names and ideally multiple sectors (technology & consumer preferred), however not too niche and tiled towards only one sub-sector, such as healthcare biotech
• A large percentage of the book needs to be invested in US Equities, with the remainder invested into other major DM Equity Markes (eg . Europe).
• Previous experience at a large multi-strategy hedge fund as an associate portfolio manager would be a big plus

Note: Ideal candidates may have already completed (or are nearing the end of) a non-compete and are ready to transition to a new opportunity, as our client needs someone in the seat by Q1 2025.
