Macro Trader/ Portfolio Manager (crypto)

Role Summary

We are launching a new discretionary crypto macro book. This PM role focuses on manual top-down macro trading in crypto. The candidate will own the P&L of the macro book independently. You will also share macro regime views, market observations and risk insights with our quant team to enrich their market understanding.

This is NOT a quant role. You do not need to build factors or systematic signals. We only consider candidates with existing crypto macro trading experience.

Key Responsibilities

1. Run discretionary crypto macro trading manually: build macro theses, construct portfolios, manage position sizing, hedging, execution, real-time risk monitoring and regular performance review. Trade BTC, ETH and large-cap liquid crypto spot, perps and options.
2. Track global macro drivers (rates, DXY, yields, inflation, geopolitics, liquidity) and crypto-native catalysts, analyze their impact on crypto markets.
3. Set trade entry, exit and invalidation rules, maintain macro watchlist and event playbook.
4. Manage book-level risk: risk budget, drawdown limits, tail hedging and contingency plans.
5. Share macro insights, regime shifts and market fragility observations with quant team for knowledge exchange. No mandatory quant deliverables.
6. Drive the roadmap of this new macro strategy stream and report trade logic & performance to leadership.

Requirements

1. Direct crypto macro discretionary trading / PM experience with live P&L track record.
2. Solid understanding of how global macro flows transmit into crypto pricing.
3. Hands-on trading experience on crypto perps, options, basis and term structure. Familiar with CEX liquidity, funding rates, liquidation dynamics, on-chain flows and CeFi/DeFi risks.
4. Mature cross-asset thinking and rigorous risk management framework for scenario planning and drawdown control.
5. Able to clearly communicate macro views to quant teammates.
6. Self-driven, able to launch and run a macro trading book from scratch.
