Senior Long/Short Equity Portfolio Manager

About the Opportunity

We have partnered with a leading buy-side firm looking to hire a senior Equity Long/Short Portfolio Manager. This is an established business with deep research support and a long-term commitment to backing talented portfolio managers. This is not one of the large multi-strategy platforms.

Responsibilities

• Manage a directional-biased long/short equity book with full ownership of the track record
• Generate returns through disciplined, bottom-up fundamental stock selection
• Own portfolio construction, position sizing, and risk management
• Build the strategy towards a scalable, long-term franchise
• Contribute to the wider investment culture and, where relevant, support investor engagement

About You

A proven, autonomous Portfolio Manager with full ownership of their track record (no shared books where ownership is unclear). A track record of running at least $200m to $300m+ in AUM as lead PM over 3 to 5+ years, with consistent performance. A high-conviction, directional, fundamental bottom-up approach with a clear investment edge. Disciplined portfolio construction and risk management. A generalist approach or defined sector expertise, both welcome. Strong investment judgment, integrity, and a collaborative, entrepreneurial mindset. A demonstrated ability to recover effectively from drawdown periods. Strong communication and gravitas, given the client-facing nature of a senior seat.

Eligibility

No specific eligibility criteria mentioned.

• The opportunity provides room to build a long-term franchise and, in the right cases, a dedicated team

• Highly competitive, performance-linked compensation
