Equity Long/Short Portfolio Manager

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 the 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
• Cover large, liquid DM names across sectors such as tech, consumer, or industrials
• 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, including technology, industrials, or consumer (however not too niche and tilted towards one sub-sector such as healthcare or mining)
• Previous experience at a large multi-strategy hedge fund as an associate portfolio manager would be a big plus
• Ideal candidates may have completed or be nearing the end of a non-compete period and are ready to transition to a new opportunity
